Alt Fees

Updated over a week ago

Alt offers a transparent, tier-based fee structure designed to reward active sellers on the platform. Your selling fees and bonuses are determined by your Alt Rewards status, which is based on your total transaction volume each quarter.

There are no account creation fees or ongoing subscription requirements to maintain an Alt account.

Alt Fixed Price Marketplace

There are no fees applied when you purchase a card on the Fixed Price Exchange. For all sales on the Fixed Exchange, including counteroffers and cards listed on eBay, the seller fee will be based on:

  1. The final sale price of the card

  2. Your current Alt Rewards tier (Base, Silver, Gold, or Black)

Here are a couple of different fee scenarios to further explain:

Scenario 1:

  • You sell a card for $7,501.00, and are a Base tier member, the sale falls into the 7% tier. The fee for the sale is $525.07 ($7,501 x 7% = $525.07). As the seller, your payout would be $6,975.93 ($7,501 - 525.07 = $6,975.93)

Scenario 2:

  • You sell a card for $8,000.00, and are a Black tier member, the sale falls into the 4% tier. The fee for the sale is $320.00 ($8,000 x 4% = $320). As the seller, your payout would be $7,680 ($8,000 - 320 = $7,680)

Alt Auctions

When purchasing a card in an Alt Auction, a 20% Buyer's Premium is applied on top of the final hammer price (winning bid) of the card. Sellers do not pay fees on auction sales. Instead, Alt applies the buyer’s premium on top of the final hammer price, which is shared between the seller and Alt. Sellers receive the full hammer price plus a seller bonus, determined by:

  • The submission value of the lot at the time it was received

  • Your current Alt Rewards tier
