5%
Flat commission on a completed sale, deducted from the sale price before the seller is paid. It is not added to the buyer's price, and it is not charged when someone only sends a request.

Seller proceeds$1,900
The commission is deducted from the completed sale. The payout target is within 5 business days after the buyer's payment clears and the registrar transfer is confirmed. This is a target, not a guarantee. The payout method is not defined. A request does not start the clock.
Rent-to-own and the 5%
The rent-to-own buyer fee is 0%. The seller commission on rent-to-own is 5% of the Buy Now price, not of the payment total. It is deducted from the payments as they come in until that commission is satisfied. How each payment is split is pending legal review.
Founding sellers
A seller whose first listing is submitted on or before January 31, 2027 (America/New_York) pays 0% on sales completed within 6 months of that listing's approval date, then 5%. A seller whose first listing is submitted after that date pays 5%. The 0% window does not start until that first listing is approved.
