# Spreads & Fees

> How spreads work and what you actually keep after fees.

export const Embed = ({path, height = 400}) => {
  const isDev = typeof window !== "undefined" && (window.location.hostname === "localhost" || (/^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$/).test(window.location.hostname));
  const baseUrl = isDev ? `${window.location.protocol}//${window.location.hostname}:3000` : "https://sprd.app";
  return <iframe src={`${baseUrl}/embed/${path}`} width="100%" height={height} style={{
    border: "none",
    borderRadius: "8px"
  }} />;
};

A spread is the price gap between two marketplaces for the same product and size. Every marketplace charges fees, so the raw spread is never your actual profit.

## How spreads work

On [Discover](/discover), you see a sneaker with a \$152 ask on eBay and a \$230 bid on StockX. That's a \$78 raw spread. But both platforms charge fees — shipping on the buy side, seller commission, payment processing, and shipping on the sell side.

SPRD's **After fees** toggle adjusts all prices for platform fees automatically. Keep it on to see what you'd actually make.

## The fee toggle

Available on both [Discover](/discover) and the [orderbook](/orderbook). When toggled on:

* **Ask prices** show what the buyer actually pays (including buyer fees)
* **Bid prices** show what the seller actually receives (after seller fees)
* **Spreads** reflect realistic profit

The fee toggle covers platform fees only. Shipping, authentication, and forwarding costs are separate. See [Evaluating Deals](/evaluating-deals) for the full picture.
