The short answers.
How does the 5% reach a founding partner team?
Pick the team's code when you create a listing. When the item sells, 5% of the sale is credited to that founding partner team — for 12 months from the day its team code was created — at no extra cost to you, because it comes out of our commission, not your payout.
My team isn't a founding partner. Can we still take part?
Yes. When we run other fundraising and give-back programs, every team can take part. Each program asks teams to do something that helps the marketplace grow, and some have limited spots, filled first come, first served in the order teams sign up for that program. Founding partners are always included.
What does it cost?
Listing is free. When something sells, a 15% commission comes out of the sale — that's the whole fee (we never add a credit-card charge), and it's also where the founding partners' 5% comes from.
