Frequently Asked Questions
When is the fee actually charged?
The fee is only deducted at the very end of a successful transaction. If a deal is canceled or a dispute is resolved in the buyer's favor, no platform fee is charged to either party.
Can I split the fee with the buyer?
Yes! When creating a deal, choose Split 50/50 and the platform fee will be divided equally โ half added to the buyer's payment and half deducted from your (seller's) payout. You can also choose Buyer Pays or Seller Pays for full flexibility.
Are there any deposit or withdrawal fees?
xrowdeal does not charge for deposits. Standard USDT network (gas) fees apply during withdrawal, which are separate from our platform service fee.
