    Digital Goods created via "Add New Item" button here: https://marketplace.digitalpoint.com/ 20% upon sale, no listing fee.

    Domains/sites there are coming from the Buy/Sell/Trade area and are not *from* there... they are a bit different and aren't a digital good we are delivering. No fees.

    Anything under here: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/forums/buy-sell-or-trade.24/ No Fees

    Thanks for the confirmation Shawn. Yeah I never used marketplace before and I admit I didn't read the marketplace terms when creating the listing, but that's because I thought it's the same terms as the forum's (this one), and no information about fees mentioned there. And I think such information must be stated CLEARLY on the listing creation page, like Flippa does.

    Yeah, I put a bold message about it right next to the "Save" button, so hopefully the people not familiar with the old marketplace understand. We most definitely aren't trying to sneakily take money, that would be an idiotic business model and everyone would never use it after they sold one thing. We actually want to make something awesome that people love/want to use. In fact, we have some new ideas for it already.


    Nope, it's all the same.

    l think he will keep them a secret till he is ready to add them to the forum. I'm sure if you pay him money he will tell you.

    So now some BST forums are depreciated such as Templates and Scripts. The only option for us to sell/buy stuff under that categories is by using marketplace, which is paid. Am I correct?

    PayPal fees are not higher, it's around 3.9%+$0.30 which means PayPal will deduct around $1.08 for $20 which means you will get $18.92 and after deducting Digital Market place fees of $4, you will end up with $14.92.

    How about you go sell on Flippa then...

    Fee to list
    Fee for this
    Fee for that
    Fee for success
    etc etc etc

    20% is chump change for such a large market to expose your sales to.

    DP has vast potential for real buisness and real services and moreover have a great number of real traders rather than other gig sites. So if DP can charge 5% I think its enough and reasonable for both traders and DP admin.
