If a marketplace site says "0 fees" but has a setting to donate/give 10% of the sale to the site owner by default, is that misleading? #asknostr

If the site is marketed as being zero fees, I assume that the site will not be taking any portion of my sale. That includes donation to the developer in the form of percentage of sale. I think that's reasonable, right?

I do think it is appropriate for the site owner to ask for some sort of compensation for using their site but having their marketing touting no fees and then slapping 10% default skim off the top seems disingenuous.

If users are clearly warned and it's easy to change, that doesn't seem too bad

I didn't even think to look for a setting like it cuz it said zero fees.

I only came across it because I clicked on every single thing in the Dashboard. The language of it isn't very clear that it is diverting a percentage of sales to other wallets.

I would say there was no clear warning but it was easy to change, once you knew where to look.

That seems very shady. I assumed the setting displayed when adding a product, or something similar.
