Sell/Buy Domain Name(s) without paying 20-30% commission (YES $0 Commission) to Registrars or Marketplaces like GoDaddy or Sedo. And you can also sell/buy online businesses (or other digital assets) without commission
The so-called “Domain Marketplaces or Digital Asset Marketplaces”, charge as much as 20-30% commission for a sale, and have a range of confusing fees and “fine-detail or hidden” fees associated to their “brokers” or “partners”, or whoever may or may not be involved in the sale of your domain name or website or App, email list, or other digital assets. EmpowerPioneers.com offers a $0 Commission Marketplace (YES, 0% Commission), for trading (buy or sell) Domain Names, NFTs, Websites, Apps, Amazon Stores, Email Lists, Social Accounts with followers, Newsletter lists, & other Digital Assets.
Why do they CHARGE so much?
What VALUE do they really provide?
Sale of a home in U.S. has a 6% commission fee, (seller AND buyer agents) which includes all the work provided by the Seller Agent, Buyer Agent, and their respective companies. Selling cars, even expensive cars, in classified ads don’t come with a % commission, not 30%, not 20% commission, not any. Why domains or websites or online business are sold with such exuberant fees and commission rates?
Because most sellers don’t know about alternatives.

No more of this nonsense, as EmpowerPioneers.com offers a $0 Commission Marketplace (YES, 0% Commission, no hidden fees, no add-on fees, etc.), for buying and selling Domain Names, NFTs, Websites, Apps, Amazon Stores, Email Lists, Social Accounts with followers, Newsletter lists, and a wide variety of other forms of Digital Assets.
Why are there any Commission Fees for marketplaces for selling domains, Apps, websites, NFTs, and other digital assets?
Because people don’t ask, “why do we have commission fees?”.
While Domain Name Marketplaces (Sedo, GoDaddy, and most others) suggest that their percentage fees are justified because they offer escrow services for the sake of the buyer and the seller, allowing them to exchange (safely) the domain (or other digital assets) for the funds.
The fact is that almost any law firm in U.S. or Canada or even Europe offers escrow services, and in most cases, by far, these escrow services are about a few hundred Dollars.
Homes sold (let’s say for a million Dollars) have escrow fees of about $1,000 in most states, so why for selling a $100,000 domain name, you have to pay about $20,000 or more for escrow?

Instead of 10%-30%, escrow companies charge less than 1% for domain transactions. Their fees even include basic legal advice and answering your questions regarding the transaction.
