# Monetize avatar items

[Eligible](/docs/en-us/marketplace/marketplace-policy.md#creator-requirements) creators can sell [accessories](/docs/en-us/art/accessories.md), [clothing](/docs/en-us/art/accessories.md), and [avatar bodies and heads](/docs/en-us/art/characters.md) in the Marketplace or in their own or other developers' experiences.

## Marketplace

Millions of users visit the [Marketplace](https://www.roblox.com/catalog?Category=1&salesTypeFilter=1) every day, and it's where all users can find avatar items to purchase and equip to their avatar character. In the Marketplace, you can find character bodies and heads, clothing, accessories, animations, and other cosmetic items.

Users can access the Marketplace [through the web](https://www.roblox.com/catalog) or within the Roblox App. You can increase the discoverability of your content within the Marketplace through [sponsored item](/docs/en-us/production/promotion/sponsor-items.md) ads.

> **Warning:** The Marketplace is not the same as the [Creator Store](/docs/en-us/production/creator-store.md). The Creator Store provides assets for creators to use for the development of their experiences, such as models, images, and plugins.
## In-experience

Developers can also set up access to the Marketplace within their experiences by using the [Avatar Editor Service](/docs/en-us/players/avatar-editor.md). Developers receive a commission based of sales of Marketplace items within their experience. Users can purchase your item within an experience using the [Avatar Inspect Menu](/docs/en-us/players/avatar-inspect-menu.md) or in templates such as [UGC Homestore](/docs/en-us/resources/templates.md#ugc-homestore).

## Payouts

#### 3D Avatar Assets

##### Marketplace purchase

- Creator of the virtual item receives **30%**
- Affiliate (Roblox) receives **40%**
- Platform receives **30%**

##### In-experience purchase

- Affiliate (experience owner) receives **40%**

These commissions also apply to the original sale of [Limiteds](/docs/en-us/marketplace/marketplace-fees-and-commissions.md#limiteds). When setting assets on sale, you can [configure](/docs/en-us/marketplace/publish-to-marketplace.md#marketplace-settings) your creation as a Limited item to set an available quantity for that asset. Limiteds require a [per-unit fee](/docs/en-us/marketplace/marketplace-fees-and-commissions.md#per-unit-fee) and can be [resold](/docs/en-us/marketplace/marketplace-fees-and-commissions.md#reselling) by [Roblox Plus](https://www.roblox.com/plus) members. At this time, only Roblox-created Limiteds are tradeable.

#### Community-created Limiteds

While anyone can buy a Limited item, only [Roblox Plus](https://www.roblox.com/plus) subscribers can resell them. Every time a creator's Limited item is resold, the creator benefits from a 10% original creator commission on the value of each resale.

- Reseller receives **50%**
- Creator receives **10%**
- Affiliate receives **10%**
- Platform receives **30%**

After purchasing a Limited, there is up to a 30‑day holding period when the item cannot be resold. Robux acquired from trading or selling items that you didn't create are not considered earned and are ineligible for the [Developer Exchange](https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/devex) program.
