I like it. But 10% seems a little high - I'd at least have reduced percentages for volume.

I'm not sure if you have (or intend) to support people with a lot of products, but I'd be interested to see how it works if you have 50 products vs. 500 vs. 5000. It would be nice to get group reporting (like every color of a T-shirt combined, all my mugs, etc. Ideally with tags instead of categories so you can cross-report).

We have some interesting ideas for what we can do with pricing in the future, like based on volume or product price or maybe we introduce a premium account that comes with a monthly fee, but lower fees per transaction. Still thinking about these.

For now we think 10% is a fair price given the value and the functionalities our product provides, e.g. calculating taxes based on the seller's nexus states and the buyer's shipping address. Also, the seller is only charged a fee in case of a successful order, but not e.g. in case of a refund, which is different from other services like e.g. PayPal. (And different means better here, we think.)
