dcterms.abstractA typical fee structure of an auction website is a combination of two fees collected from sellers: listing fee and transaction fee. Listing fee is a fixed amount charged when inserting an item onto the website. Transaction fee is a certain percentage of the selling price and is only charged when a success sale is made. I analyze the optimal fee structure for a profit-maximizing website which provides a platform for many heterogeneous buyers and sellers to transact their products. The results suggest that the optimal listing fee is always positive. The optimal transaction fee is positive only when there is multiply products.
