Title: How does Silk Road make money?
Post by: frank on June 21, 2011, 05:48 am
Does the administrator of Silk Road take a transaction fee from each purchase?
Or is he running the site out of the goodness of his heart?
Is there a bitcoin address for tips?

I am not positive about this but I read that he takes a 5% cut of the transaction. I have seen at least 1 seller who donates an extra 1% to help the site out.

SR adds 5% to the seller's listed price so the buyer pays for the extra 5%.
