Frequently Asked Questions

Do buyers really pay extra at checkout?

Yes — a 2% buyer fee is added to the listing price at checkout. For a ₱1,000 account, the buyer pays ₱1,020.00 total. There are no other charges added on top.

How much does the seller actually receive?

Sellers receive the listing price minus a 4% platform commission and 1% escrow protection fee — together, 5%. On a ₱1,000 sale, that's ₱950.00 paid out.

What does the 1% escrow protection cover?

It funds the dispute resolution system: chargeback handling, refund processing, and case review. A seller attempting to reclaim the account is accepted grounds for a dispute — open one before you confirm access and the escrow hold is reversed in full.

When is the fee charged?

The buyer fee is charged at checkout, when payment moves into escrow. The seller commission and escrow fee are deducted only when payment is released — after the buyer confirms delivery. If a trade is cancelled, every centavo is refunded.

Are there monthly or subscription fees?

No. Listing accounts on ASCEND is completely free. Fees only apply on completed sales — if nothing sells, you pay nothing.

Will fees change in the future?

If we ever change a fee rate, current sellers get 30 days notice and listings already in-flight keep their original pricing. We post every change publicly here.
