Are there any listing or subscription fees?

No. All 37 tools are free and listing is free. Commission applies only when a domain sells.

Is the tier marginal like income tax?

No. The rate for the tier your full sale price falls into applies to the whole price. A $60,000 sale pays 4% of $60,000.

Who pays escrow fees?

Buyer and seller agree this. Splitting 50/50 is common.

Do buyers pay a fee to BetterNic?

No buyer fee is charged by BetterNic. Buyers pay their own escrow or payment-method fees if agreed.

It takes about two minutes.
