Your server, my IPv4 bill: AWS shared VPC splits the tab
AWS lets one account run a server inside another account's network. The server's operator gets the compute bill. The network owner gets the public IPv4 bill, plus the NAT and endpoint charges. A shared subnet can make the infrastructure diagram look pleasantly simple while…

A seller's negative balance can reach the platform's bank account
