Selling Fees
Simple, Transparent Pricing
At VendGros, sellers keep 100% of their listed price. Here’s how our pricing works.
How It Works
For Sellers
Free to list. Keep what you earn.
Set your price per unit, and that’s exactly what you’ll receive when a buyer picks up their order. VendGros doesn’t take a cut from your sales.
For Buyers
5% deposit at checkout
When placing an order, buyers pay a 5% deposit online to reserve the items. The remaining balance is paid directly to the seller at pickup.
Example
| Seller Sets Price | $100.00 |
| Displayed Price (+ 5%) | $105.00 |
| Buyer Pays Online (5% deposit) | $5.00 |
| Buyer Pays at Pickup | $100.00 |
| Seller Receives | $100.00 |
The displayed price includes a 5% markup. Buyers pay that 5% online as a deposit to reserve the order, then pay the seller’s price directly at pickup.

Deposit Details
Minimum Deposit
$1 CAD minimum deposit per order.
What If a Buyer Cancels?
If an order is cancelled before pickup, the deposit may be refunded depending on the circumstances and timing.
Taxes
Sellers are responsible for collecting and remitting applicable taxes on their sales at pickup. VendGros provides transaction records to help with your accounting.
If your business is registered for GST/HST, you’re responsible for charging and remitting sales tax as required by Canadian tax law. Consult with a tax professional for guidance specific to your situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do sellers pay any fees?
No. Sellers list for free and receive 100% of their listed price. The 5% deposit is paid by the buyer on top of the listed price.
Why is there a deposit?
The deposit helps ensure buyers are serious about their orders. It reduces no-shows and secures the transaction for both parties.
How does payment work at pickup?
Buyers pay the seller directly at pickup. The payment method (cash, e-transfer, etc.) is arranged between the buyer and seller.
Can fees change?
We may adjust our fee structure with advance notice. Any changes will be communicated clearly.
