Transaction costs are currently set as follows, but may change. (Yes, of course, if they change, we’ll update them here.) Also, sponsor accounts have the capability to change the prices of post and comment submissions. (Sponsor accounts can get a percentage of post and comment submissions if they decide to charge differently.) If the price is different for a specific community from what is listed below, we will indicate it as such on the submission page.

1 karma = USD $0.01 ("it's only a penny")
