Marketplace Deep Dive
How much does Roblox take from UGC sales?
Roblox takes 30% of the sale price as a platform fee. The remaining 70% is split between you (creator royalty) and any affiliate commissions.
What about affiliate sales?
If your item is sold in a game (like 'Catalog Avatar Creator'), the game owner gets a 40% commission, which comes out of the platform's cut, not yours.
Do limiteds have a holding period?
Yes. When you buy a Limited UGC item, you must wait 30 days before you can resell it. This holding period prevents instant flipping and market manipulation.
How much does it cost to upload?
As of the July 2026 Unification Update, the upload fee is a flat 80 Robux for both 2D and 3D avatar items. A 10 Robux publishing advance still applies to 2D items. Account verification (government-issued ID) is required to upload.
Do I get the upload deposit back?
Yes! Roblox uses a 'Publishing Advance' system. Once your item sells enough copies to cover the publishing advance, Roblox rebates it. This encourages creators to make high-quality items that actually sell.
Do I need a subscription to publish UGC?
Yes. As of the July 2026 Unification Update, you must have an active Roblox Plus or Premium subscription to publish any avatar item (2D or 3D) for sale on the Marketplace. Account verification and 2-step verification are also required.
Can I sell free items?
Yes, you can list items for free (0 Robux), but you will not earn any revenue, and you will not get your publishing advance rebated. This is mostly used for promotional events.
