Questions & Answers about furimaapuri wa benrina ippou de, hanbaitesuuryou ga takai.
フリマアプリ is short for フリーマーケットアプリ, literally flea market app.
In practice, it means an app where people buy and sell used or handmade items, like a mobile marketplace. Apps such as Mercari are often called フリマアプリ in Japanese.
- フリマ = short for フリーマーケット
- アプリ = app
So this is a very natural modern Japanese term.
は marks フリマアプリ as the topic of the sentence.
The sentence is saying something like:
- As for flea market apps, they are convenient, but...
So フリマアプリは sets up the thing being discussed, and the rest of the sentence gives two comments about it:
- it is convenient
- the selling fee is high
This is very common in Japanese: first introduce the topic with は, then describe it.
