For sellers
Every fee, on one page
70% to you
On every sale, at every volume. There is no tiered structure that pays less until you hit a target.
Spend it or withdraw it
Earnings land in your wallet. Use them to buy notes for your own courses, or withdraw them to your account.
Withdrawals paid on the 5th
Ask to withdraw any time; requests are paid on the 5th of the month, or the next working day.
No minimum, no fee
$2.40 can be withdrawn the same as $2,400. We don't hold balances hostage behind a threshold.
Statements you can file
A downloadable statement per payout, itemised by document, in a format your accountant will accept.
Fee breakdown
There are no fees beyond the ones in this table. If you ever find a deduction you cannot trace to a row here, that is a bug and we want to hear about it.
| Item | Amount | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Seller share | 70% of the sale price | Paid to you |
| Platform fee | 30% of the sale price | Covers review, hosting, support and payment processing |
| Listing fee | None | Upload as many documents as you like |
| Withdrawal fee | None | For SEPA and UK bank transfers |
| Currency conversion | At cost | Applied only when your account currency differs from the sale currency |
| Chargeback handling | None | We absorb disputed-transaction costs rather than deducting them from you |
Payout questions
- When exactly do I get paid?
- Your share of each sale goes into your CramShare wallet straight away and becomes available 7 days later, once the buyer's refund window has closed. From then on you can withdraw it whenever you like: withdrawals are paid on the 5th of the month, or the next working day if the 5th falls on a weekend or public holiday. A withdrawal requested on 3 April is paid on 5 April; one requested on 6 April is paid on 5 May.
- Can I spend my earnings on CramShare?
- Yes. When your available balance covers a document's price, you can pay for it from your wallet instead of by card. It is instant, and there is no fee either way.
- Is there a minimum payout amount?
- No. You can withdraw any available balance, including amounts under a dollar.
- How are refunds handled?
- If a buyer is refunded, your share of that sale comes back out of your wallet. If your balance has already been spent or withdrawn, we absorb the difference rather than invoicing you. Refund rates above 10% on a single document trigger a quality review.
- Do I have to pay tax on this?
- Almost certainly yes, and it depends on where you live and your total income. Earnings from selling notes are usually taxable income even when you are a student. We provide itemised statements for every payout, but we cannot give tax advice — check your national rules or ask an accountant.
- What payout methods are supported?
- PayPal, or a bank transfer to any IBAN account. In India we pay to a UPI ID or to an account number and IFSC. You enter these in your seller settings, and we store them for the single purpose of paying you — never shown to buyers, never shared with other sellers, and shown back to you masked rather than in full.

Publish first, worry about payouts later.
You only need bank details when your first sale comes in — uploading and listing needs nothing but the file.
