Standardization on United States Dollar (USD)

When you list a product for sale on Kuubwa, you list it in United States Dollars. The benefits are:

  1. Buyers see listing in their local currency and pay the equivalent amount in their local currency.
  2. Buyers and sellers can easily compare products from different countries based on price, etc.
  3. USD listing prevents you from having to make constant price updates with every local currency exchange rate fluctuation.

Referral Fees on Sales

Every item sold on Kuubwa, sellers pay a percentage of the total price (item's price + external shipping cost ), or a minimum amount, whichever is greater.

  1. Referral fees are in addition to selling plan fees.
  2. We do not charge referral fees on customs duties and taxes.
  3. External shipping cost: shipping not using Kuubwa logistics.

Kuubwa Logistics Shipping Commission

Kuubwa collects a commission on items shipped using a Kuubwa logistics shipper. The commission is 11% or $1.00 minimum amount, whichever is greater. Commission fees are in addition to shipping subscription.
