Fees & payouts
This page explains which fees apply, when they are charged and how seller payouts are processed.
Platform Fee
Ani-Malls charges a platform fee equal to 2% of the total sale price for each successful reservation.
The fee is only charged after the buyer has successfully paid the required deposit. Using Stripe Connect’s split payment functionality, the platform fee is deducted automatically during payment. The remaining deposit amount is transferred directly to the seller’s connected Stripe account.
The platform fee covers the payment-processing costs incurred by Ani-Malls and the infrastructure used to process deposits securely through the Platform.
Example
If an animal is sold for €1,000, the platform fee is €20. If the required deposit is €250, the €20 platform fee is deducted and the remaining €230 is transferred to the seller’s connected Stripe account.
Auction Listing Fee
Publishing an Auction Listing requires payment of an auction fee.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Auction Listing | €7.00 (incl. VAT) |
Instead of paying the Auction Listing Fee, sellers can publish auctions using Auction Credits included with an active Ani-Malls subscription. Each Auction Credit covers the fee for publishing one Auction Listing.
If all included Auction Credits have been used, additional auctions can be published by paying the applicable Auction Listing Fee.

Seller Payouts
Ani-Malls processes payments securely through Stripe Connect.
After a buyer successfully pays the required deposit, the 2% platform fee is deducted automatically. The remaining deposit amount is transferred to the seller’s connected Stripe account.
Stripe automatically transfers available funds to the seller’s registered bank account according to the payout schedule of the connected account. No manual payout request is required.
The first payout may take slightly longer while Stripe completes additional verification. Once the account is fully established, future payouts are processed automatically according to the applicable Stripe payout schedule.
VAT
Unless stated otherwise, all prices displayed on Ani-Malls are inclusive of VAT.
