Marketplaces charging commissions on landing page sales range from 9% to 15% (e.g. Dan.com at 15% standard or 5% if using custom DNS landers; Afternic at 15% to 25% depending on network distribution syndication). Direct peer-to-peer escrow platforms like Escrow.com charge between 0.89% and 3.25% with fixed minimums.
Who pays the escrow transaction fee in secondary market domain deals?
In custom negotiated transactions, the fee can be paid 100% by the seller, 100% by the buyer, or split equally 50/50. When selling through brokerages or landing pages, commission fees are typically deducted directly from the gross seller proceeds.
