Our only fee on a sale

Escrow fee, and no success fee

SwapCreators charges one fee on a sale: the escrow fee, 5% of the sale price (minimum $10). Sellers pay no success fee and receive the full agreed price.

Escrow fee examples, in USD.
Sale price	Escrow fee	Seller receives
$100	$10	$100
$5,000	$250	$5,000
$20,000	$1,000	$20,000
$100,000	$5,000	$100,000

Seller receives the full price when the buyer pays the escrow fee, which is the default.
