What each marketplace actually takes from a sale — the percentage, the fixed fee, when the money is released and who eats a chargeback — checked against their own pages in August 2026, with our own row held to the same standard.
Account value calculators guess. This one reads live prices from tens of thousands of listings — here is what accounts actually sell for by game, server and rank, and what moves the number, every figure read from the shelf as you open the page.
ARC Raiders sells three things under one name: fresh accounts with the game at level one, played accounts priced by level and coins, and purchase offers that put the game onto your own account at a regional price. Here is the level ladder, what the coins add, the Deluxe premium, and how to tell the three apart before you compare a price. Every figure is read from the live shelf.
Blood Strike listings come in two headers that never state each other's numbers: the coin header of a fresh Steam account — coins and reputation — and the rarity header of a skin account — limited, ultra, legendary. In the skin product the ultra count is the ladder; in the coin product reputation is. Both are here, with why the server rows are composition. Every figure is read from the live shelf.
Every sell page in this niche opens with the same promises: free registration, no listing fees, millions of buyers. Most of them never print the one number that decides what you keep. On one of the largest platforms below, the page recruiting sellers names no commission at all — not a figure, not a range.
This is written by a marketplace, and we are in the table. So instead of a verdict you get the numbers, the date they were checked, and the arithmetic done against our own row as well as everyone else's.
The percentage on your category, at your seller level. Published rates are usually a range, and the bottom of it belongs to somebody with a thousand sales.
The fixed fee per sale. A flat charge is invisible on a $500 account and brutal on a $30 one. It is why the lowest percentage does not always win.
When the money is released, and what is withheld at payout. "Instant payout" on a marketplace with escrow means instant after the buyer confirms, which is a different sentence.
Who eats a chargeback. You handed over a login three weeks ago, and the card payment is reversed. Whose loss is that? This never appears on a sell page, and when it happens it is larger than every percentage on this list.
| Platform | From the seller | Fixed per sale | Listing fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| buysmurf | 0% — you receive exactly your price | none | none |
| Eldorado | 10% on accounts | — | none |
| G2G | 10–15%, by category and seller level | — | none |
| PlayerAuctions | 10–13% | $0.99 | none |
| ZeusX | 10% standard, from 5% at the top seller rank | — | none |
| GameBoost | seller keeps 80% on their published Fortnite table | — | none |
Where a platform publishes a range, the table shows the upper bound — that is what a new seller pays, and the conditions for reaching the lower one are usually not published at all. Everything here was read off each platform's own pages in August 2026. Marketplaces change fees without announcements, so verify before you move inventory: a comparison page that calls these numbers guaranteed is lying to you about something it does not control.
Take $40 — close to the median of our own catalogue — against 10% plus $0.99. The fixed part adds 2.5 percentage points, so the real cut is 12.5%. The same $0.99 on a $500 account is 0.2 points, and the ranking flips. The fee calculator runs this for your price across the same platforms; it works from the percentage rather than from the brand, so it stays useful when a number here goes stale.
The zero is not a promotion with an expiry date, and it is not a headline rate with conditions underneath it. You set the price you want to receive, and the order hands you back exactly that. Nothing is taken from your side of the deal — not a commission, not a listing fee, not a monthly fee, not a flat charge per sale, and nothing at payout.
That is worth checking against the table above rather than taking on trust, because it is the one line on this page that changes the arithmetic instead of shifting it. On a $40 account, a 10% platform plus a $0.99 charge leaves you $35.01. On a $500 account it leaves you $449.01. Here both leave you $40 and $500.
Three things follow from a zero that most sellers only notice later:
In steps, and the order of them is the answer:
That is slower than a platform releasing funds on delivery, and it is honest to say so. What the wait buys is the next section.
Escrow is always sold as buyer protection. For a seller it does something the buyer never notices: a handover confirmed through escrow cannot be pulled back out of your balance weeks later. On a classifieds site, a forum thread or a Discord DM, the payment can be reversed after the account has changed hands, and you are left with neither. That risk shows up as a percentage nowhere, which is exactly why direct deals look cheaper than they are — worth reading how escrow and chargebacks actually work once before deciding that 10% is expensive.
Ask any platform, in writing:
A platform that will not answer 1 and 4 in writing is asking you to price blind. That is the real cost of a sell page that never names a number.
The selling page walks the listing flow and prices it against live catalogue data, and the seller application is the way in. Before either, spend five minutes on pricing against the market instead of against your hours — the largest number in this article is still the one you write on the listing.
