Roblox takes a certain percentage from shirt sales made by developers on their platform. Currently, there is a marketplace fee of 90% on Robux earned from selling developer products, including shirts, if you do not have a Premium membership. This means that for every Robux earned from selling a shirt, Roblox will take 90% of that amount as their fee, leaving the developer with only 10% of the earnings.
However, if you have a Premium membership, the marketplace fee is significantly reduced to 30%. This means that if you sell a shirt and earn Robux from it, Roblox will only take 30% of the earnings as their fee, leaving you with 70% of the earnings.
It’s important to note that these fees apply specifically to the marketplace transactions related to developer products, such as shirts. Other types of transactions, such as game passes or virtual items, may have different marketplace fees.
Now, let me share a personal experience to give you a better understanding of how these fees can impact developers. As a game developer on Roblox, I have sold shirts in the past. Without a Premium membership, the marketplace fee of 90% can be quite significant. For example, if I sell a shirt for 100 Robux, Roblox will take 90 Robux as their fee, leaving me with only 10 Robux. This can be disheartening for developers who put a lot of effort into creating and promoting their products.
However, when I upgraded to a Premium membership, the marketplace fee decreased to 30%. This made a noticeable difference in my earnings. Using the same example, if I sell a shirt for 100 Robux, Roblox will now take only 30 Robux as their fee, leaving me with 70 Robux. This increase in earnings can be motivating and encourage developers to continue creating and selling their products on the platform.
Roblox takes a marketplace fee from shirt sales made by developers on their platform. Without a Premium membership, the fee is 90%, while with Premium, it reduces to 30%. These fees can have a significant impact on the earnings of developers, and the reduction with Premium can be a great incentive for developers to upgrade their membership.
