Flippa increases commission fees up to 15% (12% if you use Flippa Escrow)

[Atta]

Is it me or anyone else has also noticed the Flippa fees surged? Here is what they say when you add domain for selling:

All listings that are successfully sold will result in a 15% success fee (We will discount it to 12% if you use Flippa Escrow).

What do you think? Is it fair considering the way they promote (!) the auctions? For me, it is total disappointment. I listed good keyword domain paying $9 basic auction fee and it hardly got 28 views in last 9 days (over 50% are bots I guess). There is zero visibility for newly launched auctions at Flippa domain marketplace.

Look like they are only interested in $$$ and force the seller to buy expansive upgrades.

I'd prefer to see higher auction fees or a vetting process to rid the clutter or junk domains.
Their hike in success fees could achieve that. Time will tell i guess.


Yes. They definitely need to give some exposure to new auctions.
No reserve auctions used to get good exposure at the start of an auction, but a few months ago flippa changed all that.

Why do they say Flippa Escrow is free if it's actually 12% of the ending sale price??
Do they mean free as in nothing subtracted on top of commission?

They hide the prices for upgrades, so does anyone know if they raised any of those?
