Fees
Every cost, printed on one page.
Many marketplaces show fees late. We list them here, as they stand today, and say plainly where one is quoted per listing instead of fixed.
The table
What it costs, today
Last checked 2 October 2026. If a fee is added, it appears here before it applies.
| Item | What it means | Today |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer: the price | The listed price. Nothing added at checkout. | Listed price |
| Buyer: card processing (Stripe) | Market One pays Stripe's processing fee. | Nil to you |
| Buyer: Market One buyer fee | We charge buyers no fee of our own. | Nil |
| Seller: listing fee | We do not charge one today. | Nil |
| Seller: commission | Set per listing during review and quoted before you list. You confirm it before the listing goes live. | Quoted per listing |
| Seller: valuation | The free valuation costs nothing. | Nil |
| Transfer by hand | Done by Market One after payment clears. No separate charge. | Nil |
| Managed sale (Iron Code Studios) | Commission agreed in writing on the call, before we list. | Quoted per sale |
| Market One Private | Commission agreed in writing before we approach any buyer. | Quoted per sale |
Why no percentage for commission? We have not set one that suits every kind of listing. A fixed number would be a guess. Each quote is a number you can accept or decline.
How a seller quote works
No surprise at the end
- 1
You submit the listing
Through the sell flow or by asking for a managed sale.
- 2
We review it
We check the facts and agree the price you want to ask.
- 3
We quote the commission
In writing, as a percentage or an amount, for that listing.
- 4
You decide
Accept and it goes live. Decline and you owe nothing.
Costs outside Market One
Some costs sit with other companies and are not ours to set or waive:
- Domain registrar charges, for example a transfer or renewal fee.
- Your own solicitor or accountant.
- Any escrow service you choose to use for a deal outside Market One checkout. See the partner directory.
- Tax. The price on a listing is not tax advice.
What we will not do
- Add a fee at checkout that was not on this page.
- Charge a buyer a hidden "service fee".
- Raise a quoted commission after you accept it.
Our terms say the same in more formal words.
