Marketplace seller support

Riding on someone else's revenue

You do not sell the goods. You take work off the seller's hands and get paid for that — no stock, no shipping.

Level 2

Take over the listing, product-page and keyword work a seller repeats every week. In a 2026-08-20 count on Kmong, this term carried the largest total review volume of everything measured, though at a low list price.

We have zero cases with a verified earnings figure, so we do not invent a revenue range. What follows instead is arithmetic on published prices and official fee rates.

Where the money goes

  1. What the customer paysThis is the revenue you report
  2. − marketplace and payment feesDeducted if you sell through a platform
  3. = what lands in your accountA different number from revenue
  4. − VATIf you are a registered business
  5. − tools, rework, your own hoursThe line people forget
  6. = what you keepOnly this counts as earning

We have not yet verified a published price for this model. So there is no revenue or profit figure here — not because the arithmetic is hard, but because we have nothing real to put in it.

The structure is the same as the flow above: fees and tax come out of what the customer pays, then tool costs and your own hours come out of what is left.

Who you sell to

  • Marketplace sellers
  • Dropshippers
  • Small brands

How the money comes in

  • Per-listing fee
  • Monthly retainer

Steps

  1. Pick one thing the seller repeats weekly — new listings, product pages, keywords
  2. Do ten of them by hand and time each one
  3. Draft the same work with AI, time it again, and write down the difference
  4. List the smallest possible scope. Do not open with «full store management»

Risks

  • The price is low. Without volume, the hourly rate does not hold
  • A platform policy change can close your method overnight
  • When the seller's revenue dips, this line item is cut first
  • Leading with «AI» reads worse, not better — the same count found the AI-labelled variant selling far less

Do this today

  1. Write down three things a marketplace seller repeats every week
  2. Do one of them by hand and time it
  3. Draft the same thing with AI, time it, and put the two numbers side by side
