Omega Market Fee Structure, What You Actually Pay

Fee structures are where a lot of markets hide their margin, so it is worth laying Omega's out plainly. The short version is that buyers pay nothing on top of the listed price, and vendors pay a flat 5% commission on each sale.

Breakdown

• Buyer fee: 0%. You pay the price shown on the listing and nothing extra.
• Seller commission: 5% of the sale, charged to the vendor.
• Deposit fee: none.
• Withdrawal fee: none.
• Network fee: a small amount charged by the blockchain or Monero network to move funds, not by the market.

Because the 5% is on the vendor side, it is already baked into the prices you see. You will not be surprised by a percentage at checkout. The only cost that varies from order to order is the network fee, which depends on congestion and the currency you use.

How it compares

Many markets charge buyers a small fee on top, or add a separate escrow or withdrawal charge. Omega does not. Whether that makes it cheaper overall depends on the vendor, because a vendor facing a 5% commission may price slightly higher than one facing less. The clean part is that there is nowhere in the process where a hidden percentage appears.
