ResidualEquity.com Free Listing, No-Commission Fee, Marketplace

Most marketplaces charge exuberant fees (we believe, and so do many domain sellers).

We wanted to change this.

 

Afternic Premium Network typically charges a 30% commission fee for selling domain names. Afternic, owned by GoDaddy, charges this commission rate for sales through their Afternic Premium Network, which includes listing your domain across multiple registrars and marketplaces. For standard sales, Afternic charges a 20% commission, but the 30% applies when your domain sells via their expanded network. Every domain sold that we know of, was sold through "Premium Network" and incurred 30% commission fee.

Sedo.com charges a 15% commission on domain sales with a $60 minimum fee, plus optional fees for promotion such as $39 for a Featured Listing or $59 for a Category Showcase. The fees will be 20% if the domain is sold through Partner Network or SedoMLS Premium.

GoDaddy.com charges a 20% commission on sales through auctions, with Basic Auction Listings starting at $4.99 and Premium Listings available at higher rates, plus additional promotional options.

Flippa.com charges a listing fee starting at $29 for websites/apps, with Featured Listings costing $49 and Premium Listings at $299, alongside success fees starting at 10% based on the sale price of $50,000 or less, sold final price. On top of that, Flippa uses Escrow.com to facilitate transactions, and Escrow charges as much as 3.25%, depending on the sale amount and payment method.

 

... We felt that these fees are ridiculous. People needed to have a better option.

 

ResidualEquity.com, a platform poised to revolutionize domain name and other digital asset trading by offering a no-commission , and free-listing.

We also offer a cost-efficient featured-listing and premium-listing with video promotion in social media networks , and a user-friendly marketplace with enhanced features and services.

ResidualEquity.com's zero-commission fee and free listing structure present a significant advantage over the high-fee models used by marketplaces like Afternic Premium Network, GoDaddy.com, Sedo.com, and Flippa.com.

Here's a detailed explanation of why ResidualEquity.com’s offering is better and how it democratizes domain and digital asset marketplaces:

1. ResidualEquity.com Zero Commission vs. High Commission Rates:

  • ResidualEquity.com offers zero commission on all sales, meaning sellers keep 100% of the proceeds. This is in stark contrast to the high commission rates charged by competitors:
    • Afternic Premium Network: Charges up to 30% commission on domain sales.
    • GoDaddy: Charges a 20% commission on domain sales.
    • Sedo: Charges 15%-20% commission, depending on whether the domain is sold via their partner network.
    • Flippa: Charges listing fees and about 10% of the sale price of websites and apps.
  • By eliminating the commission fee, ResidualEquity.com ensures sellers maximize their earnings without giving up a large portion to the marketplace.

2. ResidualEquity.com Free Listings vs. Paid Listings:

  • ResidualEquity.com allows users to list their domains, websites, or digital assets for free, removing upfront financial barriers for sellers.
  • Competitors require sellers to pay listing fees, which can be a burden:
    • GoDaddy: Listing fees start at $4.99 for basic auctions.
    • Sedo: Free to list, but charges extra for promotional features like Featured Listings ($39) or Category Showcases ($59).
    • Flippa: Listing fees start at $29 for websites and apps, and higher for premium placements.
  • This zero-listing fee model democratizes access to the marketplace by enabling individuals and small businesses—who might otherwise be deterred by costs—to freely participate.

3. ResidualEquity.com Equal Opportunity for All Sellers:

  • Many traditional marketplaces like Sedo, Afternic, and Flippa often favor high-end listings through premium features, like paid promotions or category showcases. Sellers with more resources can pay for better visibility, resulting in a disparity in exposure between small sellers and bigger players.
  • ResidualEquity.com offers equal visibility to all listings in the SEARCH tool without requiring sellers to pay extra for promotion, ensuring fair competition among users. This levels the playing field, allowing anyone with a valuable digital asset to reach buyers, regardless of their marketing budget. We only have featured listing and premium listing for home page promotion and social media promotion, respectively.

4. Lowering the Barrier for Entry:

  • For individuals or small businesses, especially those new to the domain or website sales market, high commissions and listing fees can be prohibitive. By offering free listings and zero commissions, ResidualEquity.com removes these financial barriers, empowering sellers of all sizes and levels of experience to participate.
  • This approach democratizes access to the marketplace, ensuring that sellers are not priced out of potential opportunities simply due to upfront costs or commission burdens.

5. ResidualEquity.com Democratization of Marketplaces:

  • ResidualEquity.com’s zero-cost model reflects a community-driven, inclusive marketplace designed to benefit sellers without taking away from their profits.
  • Traditional marketplaces have structured themselves to profit heavily from every transaction, sometimes adding fees at multiple stages. ResidualEquity.com disrupts this by offering a low-cost, transparent platform where profits remain with the seller, not the intermediary.
  • This is a step toward democratizing the marketplace, making it accessible to everyone, whether a seasoned seller or a first-time user, without hidden costs or commissions eroding their gains.

6. ResidualEquity.com Encouraging a Larger, More Diverse Seller Base:

  • The high fees of traditional platforms often deter smaller or casual sellers from participating. By eliminating these fees, ResidualEquity.com encourages a broader and more diverse range of sellers to list their assets. This helps foster a vibrant, varied marketplace where buyers have more options to choose from, and sellers aren’t excluded based on their ability to pay hefty fees.

7. ResidualEquity.com Attracting Buyers Through Lower Prices:

  • Since sellers aren’t losing a large portion of their earnings to commissions, they can potentially offer more competitive prices for their domains, websites, or apps. This makes ResidualEquity.com an attractive platform for buyers as well, creating a win-win environment where sellers retain more of their profits, and buyers may find more affordable options.

Why ResidualEquity.com?

ResidualEquity.com is democratizing the digital asset marketplace by offering a zero-commission, free-listing platform. Unlike Afternic, GoDaddy, Sedo, and Flippa, which charge high commissions and listing fees, ResidualEquity.com creates an environment where sellers can participate without financial barriers and keep 100% of their sale proceeds and 100% of their profit.

This model levels the playing field for everyone, from seasoned professionals to first-time sellers, ensuring fair and equal access for all participants and creating a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable marketplace.

  • 20% commission on the final sale price for domains sold through Afternic’s standard marketplace.

Afternic's Premium Network allows for enhanced visibility across various registrar platforms, but sellers should be prepared for the higher commission of 30% for sales made through this expanded network.
