Be very careful when using this platform. Their fee transparency is nonexistent
I am extremely disappointed with Afternic’s payout process and their hidden fee structure. I recently sold a domain for $399, and by the time they were done adding arbitrary deductions, I was left with a fraction of my money. Here is how they chip away at your earnings: Gross Sale Price: $399.00 Commission (30%): Took $119.70 (leaving $279.30). A 30% cut is already incredibly high, yet it apparently covers zero administrative support. Rejection Fee: $25.00. Because of an invalid routing code error on the first attempt, they immediately slapped a massive $25 penalty. Double Transaction Fees: $5.00 was charged for the failed attempt, and another $5.00 for the successful second attempt. In the end, I only received 10,978.41 TRY (which equals approx. $244.30 USD at a 44.94 exchange rate). Paying a massive 30% commission should mean a seamless service. Instead, Afternic hits you with $35.00 worth of hidden processing and rejection penalties without any clear warnings during setup. Be very careful when using this platform. Their fee transparency is nonexistent, and they will find any excuse to deduct money from your legitimate earnings. I demand a review of this transaction and a refund of these unfair banking fees.
