Hello,
Over the last few years, we’ve worked hard to bring the best features from the Uniregistry Market to the Afternic platform to ensure we can provide you with the same experience that you’ve come to love at Uniregistry Market.
One common issue we heard from our Uniregistry Market sellers is around the confusion and unnecessary friction that having separate commission structures between For Sale Landers and Afternic Network causes. As we plan for the future, there is a need for us to align the various commission structures to one single plan. Doing so will make pricing simpler for you, as you can be confident you will net the same amount across all marketplaces. It will also make the commission easier to understand than our varied commission structures across marketplaces.
On February 1, 2023, the following sales commissions will go into effect. This new commission plan will reward those who choose to do more business with GoDaddy by using any of our For Sale Lander options with a reduced commission on their sales, regardless of where it is sold. If your domain is pointed to one of our nameservers (Uniregistry, Dan, or Afternic) when it sells, then you will automatically receive a commission rate of a flat 15%. For those already using our For Sale Landers, this will be a significant reduction in commissions on sales generated through the Syndication Network.
New Commission Model:
• Domains pointed to Nameservers at Uniregistry Market, Afternic or Dan, are charged a flat 15% of Sale Price regardless of where it sells whether on the Network or through the landers directly.
• Domains not pointed to Nameservers at Uniregistry Market, Afternic, or Dan are charged the standard commission rate, which is a flat 25% of Sale Price
To ensure that your domains will receive the reduced commission of 15% please take the time to review your nameservers and update them accordingly.
