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

One sale, start to finish — Market median · Smart Store work

What the customer pays₩19,500

This is also the figure you report as revenue — not the amount that reaches your account.

The marketplace takes its cut
  • Service fee (16.4% / 9.4% / 4.4% 누진 구간)−₩3,198
  • Payment network fee (3.3%)−₩644
  • VAT on those fees (위 두 항목의 10%)−₩384
What lands in your account₩15,27478% of list
You remit VAT (registered business)

Output VAT ₩1,773 − input VAT on fees ₩384−₩1,389

Operating profit₩13,885

⚠️ Tool costs, your own labour and income tax have not been taken out yet. Individual (non-business) accounts handle VAT differently and cannot issue tax invoices at all.

The ceiling you cannot pass in a month

Published delivery days divided into the working month. Not what you can earn — the line you cannot cross alone.

What these numbers are, and are not

  • Nobody earned this. Not one listed case has a verified revenue figure.
  • List prices and delivery days come off the seller's page; fee rates come from the platform's own documentation.
  • “Max/mo” is division — 20 working days divided by the published delivery time. It does not mean orders arrive that steadily. In practice they do not.
  • Operating profit here is before tool costs, your own labour and income tax. Rework and refunds are not in it either.

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
