Domain powerhouse Sedo announced a fee increase on domain sales in a July 1 email. Their new rates take effect August 1. The new fee schedule brings their fees more in line with Afternic – their main U.S. competitor. Instead of a flat 10% fee for their services (with a higher fee for optional broader promotion)
Sedo describes their new fees this way:
Sale Type |
Commission |
Buy Now sale originating on Sedo’s Domain Marketplace |
10% of sale price |
Sale originating on Sedo’s Domain Marketplace |
15% of sale price (minimum fee applies) |
Sale originating on the SedoMLS® Promotion Network |
20% of sale price (minimum fee applies) |
Afternic describes their fee schedule this way:
DLS Premium Promotion Sales Fee | 20%, $120 minimum |
DLS Network Promotion Sales Fee | 15%, $120 minimum |
One obvious advantage with Sedo is that you can save 5% by also parking your domains there. This is a significant savings and may be worth considering if you have a business that parks and sells domains.
