Planned fees only. There is no live checkout and no payment is collected on this site yet.
- $25 per 30 days — manufacturer ad, the same rate as a shipping partner ad. Ads are labeled clearly.
- 3% platform fee (10% on Robot & Drone Parts) — taken automatically on Stripe Connect destination charges when checkout opens. The buyer pays, the seller is paid right away by Stripe, and I NEED A ROBOT does not hold funds. Refunds are handled by the seller. Not charged for listing or discovery.
- $4.99 — digital manuals, only when licensing and rights have been verified.
A 3% platform fee applies only to eligible sales completed on the platform, except Robot & Drone Parts, which carry a 10% fee on each completed parts sale. When checkout opens, payments will use Stripe Connect destination charges: the buyer pays, the seller is paid right away by Stripe, and the fee is taken automatically. I NEED A ROBOT does not hold funds. Refunds are handled by the seller. This site does not give legal advice.
Sellers agree at sign-up to a non-circumvention rule: if you first connect through I NEED A ROBOT, any resulting purchase or order for the same or related items or services within 24 months must be completed on the platform (Buy Now / checkout), or the seller owes the platform fee that would have applied (3%, or 10% for parts). Off-platform contact sharing before an order is prohibited. This is a plain-language draft pending attorney review.
I NEED A ROBOT is a marketplace that connects buyers, sellers, shippers, and contractors. We are not a party to any sale or shipment and are not responsible for shipping, delivery, product condition, or deals made between users.
