Transparent pricing
Fees & commission
Rates below reflect what applies today. VaultShield escrow is included with every purchase — not a separate surcharge on top of the listing price right now.
VaultShield included
Buyer funds are held in VaultShield escrow until delivery is confirmed or auto-released. Seller commission (and the buyer service fee only when it is enabled) helps operate escrow, fraud review, KYC, and support — there is no separate “VaultShield fee” added on withdrawals today.
Buyers
No RealmVault buyer platform fee on checkout right now
You pay the listing price. Card payments are processed by Stripe — any processor amount is shown at checkout before you pay (not a RealmVault “processing %” on this page).
Funds are held in VaultShield escrow until delivery is confirmed or auto-released.
Sellers
No listing fees to publish
Commission is taken only on completed sales, based on your seller plan.
No RealmVault withdrawal / payout processing fee today
After escrow release, your net amount is transferred to your Stripe Connect account, then to your bank. RealmVault does not add a withdrawal processing fee. Stripe may apply its own bank-payout rules on the Connect side — that is separate from seller commission.
Optional boosts and homepage spotlight are paid add-ons — never required.
After escrow release, withdrawable balance follows your Connect payout settings (min payout $10.00).
