demanding rigorous tracking of variable expenses Total variable costs start high at 140% of transaction value in 2026, driven by payment processing (40%) and regulatory compliance (30%) You must manage Buyer Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) at $50 and Seller CAC at $250 to justify the long payback period The model shows significant scale only by Year 4, with EBITDA jumping to $846,000, so
