Reading the price
The whole business in one page: what the number means, and where it comes from.
Prices are per 1,000
A rate of $2.40 / 1k means 1,000 units cost $2.40. Order 5,000 and you pay $12.00 — before the minimum check. Every panel in this market quotes the same way, so the numbers are comparable.
How our price is made
We read supplier price lists on a schedule and store the cheapest offer we can actually buy from: a real row with a service id, a minimum and a maximum. Then we add 20% and round up.
There is no second margin in the checkout, no “processing fee”, and no invented discount that ends at midnight.
Why the floor exists
If the market is cheaper than our cost plus 20%, we do not sell at a loss to win a badge. We list at our floor and stay quiet about being cheaper there. A price you cannot buy at is not a price.
Minimums are the supplier’s
The minimum and maximum on the service page are the supplier’s own limits. If they say 10–50,000, that is what can be placed. We do not accept an order we cannot place, which is why the checkout checks the supplier balance before it charges you.
