Frequently asked
- How much does it cost? +
- Listing is free. Sellers keep 100% of the listed price. Buyers pay a Buyer Protection fee on top of the price: under €500 = 5% + €1, €500–€2,000 = 4% + €1, over €2,000 = 3% + €1 — clearly shown at checkout.
- Is my money safe? +
- Yes. Our secure payment system holds your money until you confirm delivery. You have 7 days to check everything.
- What if the seller doesn't deliver? +
- If the seller doesn't transfer the assets within 7 days — or what arrives doesn't match the listing — file a dispute from your purchase page. Funds stay frozen until it's resolved.
- Can I make an offer below the asking price? +
- On any negotiable listing you can submit a serious offer up to 40% below the asking price. The seller can accept, decline or counter.
- How long does a transfer take? +
- Domains and digital assets usually move in 24–72 hours. Larger packages with code, accounts and customer lists typically settle within 5–7 days.
