Selling online has never been easier, but choosing the right marketplace can make a huge difference to your profits.
Many platforms advertise free listings, but the real costs often appear after you’ve made a sale. At SUKUURA, we believe sellers should keep more of what they earn.
Let’s compare.
💰 SUKUURA: Keep 100% of Your Sales
SUKUURA uses a simple and transparent pricing model.
Instead of taking a percentage from every sale, sellers pay a small one-time product listing fee ranging from ₦20 to ₦60, depending on the listing type.
Once your product is live, every naira you earn from that sale belongs to you.
What this means
- No commission deducted after every sale
- Predictable costs
- Higher profit margins
- Better pricing flexibility
- More earnings as your business grows
Whether you sell one product or one thousand, SUKUURA doesn’t take a cut from your revenue.
🛒 J***a & K***a
Platforms like J***a and K***a generally allow sellers to list products without an upfront listing fee.
However, they earn by charging a commission on every successful sale.
Depending on the product category, commissions can range from 3% to 15% or more.
For example:
- Sell a product worth ₦100,000
- A 10% commission means ₦10,000 goes to the marketplace
- Your profit is reduced before you receive payment
For businesses selling high-value products or making frequent sales, these commissions can add up quickly.
📢 J**i
J** offers free basic listings, making it easy to get started.
However, because many sellers compete for visibility, businesses often purchase premium advertising or product boost packages to appear higher in search results and reach more potential buyers.
While this approach works for many sellers, ongoing promotion costs can become part of the selling experience for businesses that want maximum exposure.

Which Marketplace Is Right for You?
Every marketplace has its own business model.
If you prefer paying commissions on every sale, traditional commission-based marketplaces may suit your needs.
If you’d rather pay a small listing fee and keep everything you earn from each successful sale, SUKUURA offers a different approach that gives sellers more control over their profits.
The Cost Breakdown
Let’s compare what it actually costs to sell a product worth ₦50,000 on different marketplaces.
🟦 SUKUURA (Best for Consistent Selling)
SUKUURA keeps pricing simple and transparent.
- Product listing fee: ₦20 to ₦60 per product
- No commission on sales
- You keep 100% of every successful sale
Example
You sell a product for ₦50,000.
- Product listing fee: ₦20
- Commission: ₦0
- Amount you receive: ₦50,000
Your only cost was the small listing fee paid when publishing the product.
If you sell that product multiple times without creating a new listing, there are no commission deductions eating into your revenue.
🟢 J**i (Good for Occasional Sellers)
J**i allows users to post basic listings for free.
However, because thousands of sellers compete for attention, free listings often lose visibility over time. Many sellers choose to purchase Boost Packages to move their products back to the top of search results.
Example
- Initial listing: Free
- Ongoing visibility: Often requires paid promotion
- Boost packages can cost thousands of Naira, depending on the package and duration.
For sellers who rely on consistent sales, promotion costs can become a recurring expense.
🔴 J***a (Commission-Based Model)
J***a generally allows sellers to list products without an upfront listing fee.
Instead, the platform earns through commissions charged on each completed sale.
Depending on the product category, commissions may range from 3% to 15% or more.
Example
You sell the same ₦50,000 product.
- Listing fee: ₦0
- Commission (up to 15%): ₦7,500
- Amount received: ₦42,500
As your sales increase, the total amount paid in commissions also increases.
Which Option Gives You More Control?
| Platform | Listing Fee | Commission | Long-Term Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| SUKUURA | ₦20 to ₦60 | 0% | Low and predictable |
| J**i | Free | 0% | May require recurring paid boosts for visibility |
| J***a | Free | 3% to 15%+ | Commission charged on every sale |
For businesses that sell regularly, keeping 100% of each sale can make a significant difference over time. Rather than losing a percentage of every transaction, SUKUURA lets sellers pay a small upfront listing fee and retain all of their sales revenue.
