Pricing
One simple fee. Only when you exchange.
Free to list. We earn only when you do — a 7% platform & payment processing fee (plus 15% VAT on the fee) on completed exchanges, deducted from your payout. Buyers pay the asking total, exactly as you've listed it.
7% platform & processing fee
Covers our marketplace service plus card-processing costs paid to our payment partner (Paystack). Charged only on completed, paid-and-settled sales — never on listings that don't sell.
+ 15% VAT on the fee
Standard SA VAT, charged on the platform & processing fee only — not on the goods. We issue you a tax invoice.
Free to list
Listing, photos, offers, messaging and verification are all free. You only pay when you sell.

You invoice the buyer for the goods directly and account for the R 7 500 VAT with SARS as you normally would. Traidex doesn't touch goods VAT.

Effective deduction: 7.00% of the goods total. Roughly half of the 7% goes to our payment partner (Paystack) for secure card processing and escrow; the rest funds the Traidex marketplace, verification and support — no separate processing fee is added to your payout.

How invoicing works
- Buyer pays the asking total via Paystack into Traidex's account. We hold the funds in escrow until the buyer confirms receipt.
- On settlement we issue you a tax invoice for the platform & processing fee (deductible if you're VAT-registered) and a sales proforma summarising the deal.
- You invoice the buyer for the goods directly from your own accounting system, declaring VAT according to your normal practice. Traidex is the supplier of the marketplace service — not the goods.
- Buyer gets a receipt from us as proof of payment for their records.
