Why this score
The platform is verified; commission, fashion demand, authenticity, and platform dependence drive risk.
Composite Scout risk read: 35 (Lower composite risk). This is not a community aggregate — community reports start empty.
Economics
Pay basis: Net proceeds per accepted sale
No official typical earnings range.
Fees: Current US seller commission is flat below the platform threshold and 20% at or above it; shipping and optional promotion affect margin.
Time to first dollar: After sale delivery and buyer acceptance or platform release; demand timing varies.
