=== What is it? ===
Every transaction on WikiDeal carries two transparent commissions: a very small WikiDeal platform fee and a small User Group fee. Both are charged at cost and shown openly, replacing the opaque, extractive single fees common on commercial platforms. The structure funds the shared infrastructure and the local community that supports the exchange.
 
=== How it works on WikiDeal ===
The platform fee sustains the common technical and governance infrastructure, while the User Group fee supports the local or thematic community handling the transaction. Both rates are published transparently. Exact rate-setting and governance of these commissions are documented progressively as the platform evolves.
 
=== The Breakdown: How Transactions Are Split ===
To ensure fairness and transparency, the value of a transaction is typically distributed as follows:
* '''85% to 90%''' goes directly to the service or product provider.
* '''7% to 8%''' goes to the local or thematic User Group to fund community organization and support.
* '''2% to 3%''' goes to the WikiDeal platform to maintain the common technical infrastructure and governance.
