Escrow.com announced changes to its fees regarding domain name transactions. The standard escrow fee for transactions created starting May 31, 2024 PST will be under a new pricing structure.

Domain name sales below $1,500 and above $7,000 will have increased fees.

Domain name transactions above $10k will see a significant increase in fees. A typical $25,000 sale will now have a $600 fee instead of ~$215.

Domain name sales between $1,500 and $7,000 will have slightly lower fees.
