Fee Avoidance

Any action by a seller to avoid paying a fee is considered fee avoidance and is strictly prohibited by Flupio. This includes, for example, encouraging buyers to purchase an item in your shop through another venue. A transaction initiated on Flupio must be completed on Flupio. The price stated in each listing must be an accurate representation of the sale. Sellers may not alter the item’s price after a sale for the purpose of avoiding our platform fees. 


Paying your fees

To ensure all your fees are collected in full and to ensure your account doesn’t fall into arrears we collect all your fees at the time of payment. When a customer completes a sale with items from your store, we will charge the fees according to your package and we will deposit the remaining balance of the sale to your account. (Funds are subject to becoming available) 

If your available balance doesn’t cover the sufficient funds for a refund for example we will immediately charge your card the correct figure to ensure fees are paid and ensure your account balance remains in good standing. 

In the event that your account does show as overdrawn you will receive a monthly statement and have 14 days to comply and settle your account to £0.00. This can be achieved by making sales within that period which will automatically account towards this figure. 

We may suspend your selling rights on Flupio at any time pending payment of your outstanding balance. 


Taxes

You are responsible for collecting and paying any taxes associated with using and making sales through Flupio platform.
