Flippa's published success fee is 10 percent, and it is 10 percent on every package tier, read on 29 July 2026. On top of that sits a non-refundable listing package that runs from 29 dollars to 699 dollars depending on your price band, plus optional paid visibility and the escrow fee at checkout. So the headline is 10 percent and the amount that leaves your account is more.

The Success Fee Does Not Move

Their pricing page lists separate package menus for businesses under 10,000 dollars, from 10,000 to 49,900, and from 50,000 to 99,900, and every one of those menus carried the same 10 percent success fee on 29 July 2026. Paying for a higher package buys visibility and support, not a cheaper exit. Compare packages on what they include, never on what they save you at close.

The Package Is Not Refundable

This is the part that stings. The listing fee is charged up front and does not come back if the store never sells. That flips who carries the risk. On a success-fee-only venue the marketplace loses money when you do not sell, and here you both do. On their own published numbers, a mid-band package plus six months of no offers is several hundred dollars for an education.

What Kairos Charges Instead

One fee, and only at close. Self-serve is 5% with a EUR 500 minimum, listing costs nothing, the automated checks against your order data cost nothing, and if the store does not sell you owe nothing. The human due-diligence tier is the one thing you can buy up front, and it comes off the success fee at close. The escrow provider's own fee splits 50/50 between buyer and seller, and Kairos never carries it.
