# Pricing and Fees - pleasefindmethis.com

pleasefindmethis.com uses poster-paid fees. The finder payout is the offer amount shown on the request, and we do not take a cut from that posted finder payout.

The checkout covers the request workflow, source review, and any eligible finder payout. pleasefindmethis.com is not the seller, reseller, shipper, or broker of the requested item. If a source leads to an item purchase, the poster buys that item separately from the third-party source or seller.

## Minimum Finder Payout

- Minimum finder payout: US$10
- The poster chooses the payout amount before checkout.
- The finder payout can become payable after the poster accepts the source, confirms a handoff worked, or review resolves in the finder's favor.

## Poster Checkout Formula

Poster total = finder payout + platform service fee + payment handling and source review fee.

## Platform Service Fee

- Rate: 12% of finder payout
- Minimum: US$6
- Formula: max(US$6, round(finder payout x 12%))
- Purpose: hosting public requests, request matching surface, review tooling, support, moderation, and marketplace operations.

## Payment Handling and Source Review Fee

- Rate: 3% of finder payout
- Minimum: US$1
- Formula: max(US$1, round(finder payout x 3%))
- Purpose: payment handling, source records, reveal logs, dispute review, and fraud monitoring.
