The marketplace fee applies to qualifying completed paid jobs. There is no marketplace commission merely for creating an account or listing approved services.

What does provider approval mean?
Mek Mi Help reviews provider applications by category. Approval means the provider met the marketplace requirements applied to that category at the time of review. It is not a guarantee of future conduct, workmanship or suitability.
