Person To Person service app - in-app purchases or not ?

Hi All,

I want to create an app that allows freelancers to provide one to one service . The service is provided outside of the app. Via email or telephone. Assuming the service is one-to-one and according to the guideline below - the payments might happen outside in-app purchases. The question is are app store purchase fees due to apple ?

App Store Review Guidelines - Apple Developer

3.1.3(d) Person-to-Person Services: If your app enables the purchase of real-time person-to-person services between two individuals (for example tutoring students, medical consultations, real estate tours, or fitness training), you may use purchase methods other than in-app purchase to collect those payments. One-to-few and one-to-many real-time services must use in-app purchase.

The following App guideline says the app MUST NOT use in-app purchases. So with such apps are we required to not use in-app services and is the commission due to apple ?

3.1.3(e) Goods and Services Outside of the App: If your app enables people to purchase physical goods or services that will be consumed outside of the app, you must use purchase methods other than in-app purchase to collect those payments, such as Apple Pay or traditional credit card entry.

If you are not using in-app purchase, no commission is due to Apple.
