Hello @Karmakid,
Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the confusion. It sounds like you have opted into our Elite Advertising level with a maximum final value fee of 30%. This advertising level allows us to bid higher on your items so that they are easily found in search results on advertising platforms such as Google Shopping, Nexttag and Bing.
The way advertising works is that we pay up front to list your items on those other sites, then you’ll pay us a slightly higher fee when an item sells. The fee for each sale will be somewhere between 3.5% and your selected maximum commission, depending on the role advertising played in the sale, how many views it received, etc. You can read more about how advertising commission is determined on the following [URL removed]

Advertising your listings is entirely optional and you are welcome to choose a lower commission or disable advertising entirely if you would like. You can view and edit your advertising preferences by pointing your mouse over the “My Booth” link in the upper left corner of any page and selecting “Advertise Items”. Be sure to save any changes you make.
Hope that helps!
Kind regards,
The Bonanza Team

Go to My Booth
Click on Advertise Items
Check the amount of advertising you may have signed up for…
And choose a lower one…you are right, there is no justification for 30% fee…
Choose like 9% and send your items to google shopping (GPS) and the max fee will be 9% (most of the time it is usually less)…..unless the situation of min fee of $0.50 is a higher percentage of a low cost item…

I believe there is a minimum FVF of 50 cents, so a 1.50 item would have a fee of one third.
Otherwise, you may have signed up for the Elite advertising level. Look under “Advertise Items” to see if that is the case.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
