Default Reverb Selling Fees

I have a banjo that I just listed in a couple of places.

I'm thinking of listing it on Reverb, but I've never sold anything there. Looking at their fee structure it looks as if it would cost 3.5% of the final value PLUS a fee to them if I accept a PayPal payment or get paid through their Reverb payment structure. If I'm doing the math correctly, it looks like it will cost me about 7% to sell through them. Is that correct, or am I missing something?

Thanks.
Joe

thing is, if you look at the views and coverage- reverb is usually the best shot at selling music gear
