I have experience with this, I should say: marketplace commissions depend on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.
Technically: there are two main factors in marketplace commission decisions. Cost-benefit and risk management. Decide based on data.
But what's the real risk? If this choice is wrong, does the business shut down? I'm saying this so you're super careful.
Another perspective: maybe the core issue with marketplace commissions is something else. Think about it like this...

Look let's be honest most business owners make the wrong choice in these situations. Be careful, hasty decisions often end in regret.

Let me share my experience. Calculate this based on total annual cost not the monthly bill.
Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once... I mean good luck with that.

This is exactly what we experienced. Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's right.
Just leaving this note, it might be useful.
You're right, I've been down that road too. If you get three different answers on a topic the question was asked wrong.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
There's a trap here, let me mention it. Calculate how many months you can survive without revenue, then halve that number.
Mistakes made on the marketplace commission side are usually reversible but expensive. Proven by experience.
Yes that's exactly how it is with marketplace commission. The real issue isn't the number but what it's based on.
I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

I'm a small business, let me explain from my side. The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.
If you post the result here, it will help others too.
The answer above hits the nail on the head. When making decisions, write down the worst-case scenario too, not just the best.
This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.
Let me share what happened to me; it might be useful. Calculate this based on total annual cost not the monthly bill.
Just leaving this note, it might be useful.
It's rare to find an explanation this clear. Everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth.
I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.
