Overview
ReBattery charges a platform fee on completed deals. The fee is deducted from the deal value before payout is released — buyers pay the agreed price in full, and the fee comes out of the supplier's proceeds.
The fee is shown at two points so you can plan accordingly:
- When you set your listing price — factor it in before you publish
- When you confirm deal terms — confirmed in writing before either party signs
There are no hidden charges. The net amount shown at terms agreement is the amount you receive at payout (subject to any transfer fees governed by your Stripe connected account).
Fee Schedule
Recycling Deals
7% of the agreed deal value, or £100 per tonne — whichever is greater.
The minimum per-tonne rate ensures the fee remains proportionate for high-weight, lower-value batches. For most deals, the percentage will apply; for heavy loads with modest recovered value, the per-tonne floor may apply instead. The platform calculates both and applies whichever is higher.
Second-Life and Resale Deals
10% of the agreed deal value.
A flat rate applies to all purchase transactions — whether the buyer is purchasing for resale, second-life deployment, or parts recovery.

The applicable fee and net amount are always confirmed in your deal workspace before you sign.
When Fees Apply
Fees are charged only on completed deals. They do not apply to:
- Offers that are declined, countered but not accepted, or expired
- Recycling enquiries that do not result in a deal
- Deals that are cancelled before completion
You pay nothing unless a deal closes.
Fee Transparency in the Deal Workspace
Every deal workspace shows a financial summary:
- Agreed deal amount
- Applicable fee (rate and amount)
- Net amount to be received or paid
This summary is visible before and after signing, and is captured in the signed agreement. If the figures shown do not match your expectations, contact the support team before signing — once the agreement is executed, the deal proceeds on the confirmed terms.
Questions About Fees
If you are unsure which fee rate applies to your transaction, or if the fee shown does not look right, contact the support team before agreeing terms.
