(this does not for each NFT, but for your account).   It is kind of a membership fee to the marketplace.  The transaction is a GAS transaction and while I seen others pay 30-60 dollars, at the time of this writing, I am noticing that fluctuates between $76.00  and $180   depending on how busy the blockchain system is.    (This is the downside of the GAS transactions &#8211; They depend on supply\/demand)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY UPDATE:    This morning I went in and check the GAS fee to place the listing.   $60.27 cents it showed.   So I went ahead and listed it.        The steps I followed:  Converted my Bitcoin to ETH in CoinBase (no Fee), transferred  into my MetaMask wallet  (~$5.00 fee), and place the list ( gas fee only: $60.27) on OpenSea.io    &#8212; I now have an NFT listed  for sale for .001 ETH  on that platform!   Yeah!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need to Learn more about: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How to better preparing your Art for NFT sales.<\/li><li>Tax implications of NFTs <\/li><li> What else am I missing?    let me know!  <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/jorper98\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/jorper98\" target=\"_blank\">message me on Twitter<\/a>!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thoughts so far: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been a fun learning experience and I can see the incredible potential ahead.      As I said this has already changed the world, and it is a matter of adoption.    The early adopters have already done their work, it is up to the  next level now, early majority.    Improvements and chances will be made before the mainstream picks it up, but it is an exciting new world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s The Catch you ask? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gas Fees!!!   <\/strong>They can be  expensive!   That is what kills a lot of smaller transactions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To give you an example:   if I want to but an item for USD$2.00   depending on the time of day\/ day of the week \/ week of the year, the gas fee can range from $24 to $180.00   for that one $2.00 item.       You can check the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ethereumprice.org\/gas\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ethereumprice.org\/gas\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ethereum gas price char here<\/a> .
