Fee
| Line | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| List value | 38,420 × $0.0019 | $73.00 |
| Buyers pay | 45% of list | $32.85 |
| Marketplace fee | 10% of what buyers pay | $3.28 |
| Your payout | Remainder | $29.56 |
Without a listing, the same credits are worth nothing at reset.
When you are paid
Earnings accrue per fill and appear in your seller balance in real time. They become withdrawable after a short hold that covers failed or disputed requests. Payouts are planned in CALL, the usage unit described in Token and network.
Disputes
A buyer is billed only when the provider returns a result, so most disputes never arise. If a provider charges your account for a call the gateway recorded as failed, send the request ID to hello@orbapi.dev and we reconcile it.
