The Spaceship SellerHub domain sales platform is changing its commissions.

Yesterday, the platform tested charging buyers a 5% commission on top of the 5% sellers pay.

Today, it has rolled back that change, but is changing the overall commission to 10%, double what it was ahead of this stretch.

Commenting on X, Namecheap founder and Chief of Strategy & Innovation for the firm (which owns Spaceship) Richard Kirkendall, stated the 5% buyer commission was a short-run test yesterday. He stated it didn’t noticeably impact sales, but the firm is rolling it back anyway.

While the overall commission is increasing, buyers and sellers can negotiate who pays.

Checkout and self-serve links will continue to charge a 5% commission.
