90% Marketplace Fee on Group Places

You could direct message @Post_Approval asking them if they could move the post to #platform-feedback:website-bugs, but be sure to link the topic in the message.

Actually, if the user who set the price of the gamepass is a non-premium member, the marketplace fee is 90%, however if they do, then it’s 30%

Ah, that would explain it then.
I wonder if this applies to non group places as well?
This system seems so bizarre.

Are you sure that this is the case? I’ve heard from others that it’s 30% always, have you tested it?

The behavior has been like that every time I’ve lost Premium.

To reply @123marble: yes, the same behavior applies as well.

I’m currently a non-premium user

Yeah but like I’ve heard from other posts that this is a visual bug, have you tested it in practice (see how much money you get from it)?

Did you create/update that developer product while you didn’t have premium?

ah shoot I forgot to update it, never mind that then. thanks for the note.

By the way I think that the solution thing should be removed from this as it hasn’t been tested in practice and it still is debated… I’ve also heard from another developer that their friend owned a group and had only 30% tax even when he was NBC.

I had this same issue at one point. I didn’t realize that my premium had expired, and I was wondering why the marketplace fee was 90%. It’s simply because the person who set the price or made the gamepass doesn’t have premium (which changes it from 30% to 90%), and it should automatically adjust upon purchasing premium.

You actually got only 10% of the money? Or did it show it only in that You Earn: window? That could be a visual bug.

I asked around in the devforum member Discord as to why I was only receiving 10%, and I was told that that’s the tax for non-premium members. I bought premium immediately so it didn’t last enough for me to see whether I actually earned that much.

Though, I would strongly assume that this is intentional on Roblox’s part and not some visual bug.

Silly question at this point but it’s your group right (and you’re selling stuff on a game under that group) ? Also how did you find out that you were receiving only 10% (btw you said you were receiving 90% but that’s the tax)? Did you find out through the pending sales thing?

I was just simply looking over how much I’d earn off the gamepass, and it seemed incredibly off when I looked at how much I was earning in comparison to the price of the gamepass. That’s what prompted me to look further into it. I own the group and the game is uploaded under my group’s name.

Hmm… that still could be a visual bug since you haven’t actually gotten the 90% taxed money since you said you upgraded to Premium cause of that. This is interesting how am hearing different results from people.

Anyway, if nobody else does then I’ll go test this out soon and purchase my own test gamepass and see how much Robux I get as there is just way too much uncertainty and I wanna see this for myself, rest in piece 3-9 Robux depending on how much I get back. I’ll probably do it either way just to be sure.

No, it isn’t a visual bug. If a Roblox premium member creates an item / sets the price of an item in a group there will be a 30% cut. If someone buys the item, the group will receive 70%. I (we) have tested this multiple times and have used this “feature” for a private group. I however don’t know what would occur if the person who set the price loses premium. The person who set the price can leave the group and the revenue cut will stay at 30%. (Our group holder has never owned a Roblox premium membership.)

This is a bug which has been addressed in other topics. It is purely visual If it is on a. group place the fee is 30% even if it states 90%

This seems like a very divisive subject with lots of uncertainty as to whether this is a bug. Have you got links to those other topics where this has been addressed (I couldn’t find them when I searched myself)?

Unless this functionality was recently updated: THIS IS PURELY VISUAL!!!

If your game is under a group, you will receive 70%, not 10%, whether or not you’re premium. Source: my own group
