Agent fee comparison with editable rates
Fee comparison tables are usually hard-coded, which makes them useless the moment your quote differs. Every rate here is an input, and fields we cannot verify are excluded rather than counted as free.
Rows marked unverified are excluded from every total on this page. A row with no published fee data is not the same thing as a row with zero fees, and this instrument will not present it as one.

- Source:
- Defaults are our starting figures; every one of them is editable on this page.
- Sample:
- Parameter rows carry no sample count of their own. Where a row depends on data, the sample is stated on the page that publishes it.
- Recorded:
- 2026-W40
- Known gap:
- These defaults are planning figures. Your own quote or invoice is the authority.
How to read the result
- Platform commission applies to the item subtotal. A fixed per-item charge is a different shape: it grows with item count, not with value.
- The payment surcharge is what card and PayPal processing costs, typically passed through at cost.
- Unverified rows appear in the table for completeness but contribute nothing to any total. The table states how many fields were excluded.
- Change any rate to match your own checkout screen. Nothing on this page assumes a rate is current.
Using it
- Open the instrument above. It calculates with the defaults immediately, so there is nothing to set up before you see a result.
- Replace the defaults with your own figures. Each field names what it expects and which week its default was checked.
- Read the result panel. If a field falls outside its expected range, the page says so and pauses the calculation rather than returning a figure built on bad input.
- Use Reset to return every field to its default. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or stored after you leave the page, except the QC checklist, which stays in your browser.
Questions that come up
Why does a row show a lower total than others?
Usually because its published fee is lower, but check the excluded-fields count. A row with unpublished fees will look cheap until you add the real charge yourself.
Can I add my own agent?
Enter your own rate in the editable fields and use the per-item and per-subtotal shapes as a template. The arithmetic is the same for any agent.
Does the exchange rate change the total?
It changes the CNY-to-USD translation of any CNY-quoted cost. If everything in your order is already quoted in USD, the rate has no effect.
