🌐 This article has been translated from Korean for your convenience. If there is any discrepancy, the Korean version prevails.

What is the withdrawal fee?

When you withdraw the revenue you earned on POSTYPE in cash, a withdrawal fee is charged as a platform usage fee. The withdrawal fee consists of two types of fees.

  • Base fee: A standard fee charged depending on the type of revenue.
  • Discovery fee: An additional fee charged when a post is sold through discovery features (main feed, recommended posts, search results, Open Channel, etc.).
  • Separately from these fees, 10% of the withdrawal fee is added as value-added tax on the fee.
  • CharacterTalk revenue is subject to 3.3% income tax.

 

What is the base fee for each type of revenue?

The base fee for each type of revenue is as follows.

  • Creator channel post sales·sponsorship: 13%
  • Open Channel post sales·sponsorship: 30% 
  • Membership recurring sponsorship: 13%
  • Request sponsorship: 13%
  • Request sales: 10%
  • CharacterTalk revenue payout: Subject to separate guidance

 

What is the discovery fee?

  • When a post is sold through discovery features such as the main feed, search results, recommended posts, Open Channel, etc., 17% of the post sales revenue is charged as a discovery fee. 

When the discovery fee is charged

  • When a reader purchases a post, and within the last 72 hours from the time of purchase, there is a record of them entering the channel through a discovery feature such as the main feed, recommended posts, search results, Open Channel, etc.

When the discovery fee is not charged

  • When a post is sold through non-discovery paths such as the subscription feed, user collections, or direct URL sharing
  • When revenue other than post sales (such as membership recurring sponsorship, request sales, etc.) is generated, even if the reader entered through a discovery feature
  • When a post is published directly to an Open Channel

 

What is value-added tax (VAT)?

  • Value-added tax is a tax imposed at a fixed rate (10%) on the value added newly created at every stage where goods or services are produced or distributed, in accordance with tax law.
  • For withdrawal fees incurred from transactions between POSTYPE and creators, 10% of the fee amount is additionally charged as VAT.
