1. Escrow Fee​

The standard escrow fee for transactions created starting May 31, 2024 PST will be under a new pricing structure. This will take effect for all customers including those with previous agreements.

2. Domain Name Holding Fee​

The holding fee charged for all Domain Name Holding (DNH) transactions created starting May 31, 2024 PST will follow a new pricing structure.
New Holding Fee Pricing starting May 31, 2024
DNH TypeMonthly Holding FeeMonthly Minimum
Lease with purchaseDomain value x 0.01%$100
Lease onlyDomain value x 0.02%$200
 
So if you have a million dollar domain sale Escrow wants $12,000

What would you do if your bank charged a 12k transaction fee?

I think it's absurd and I would just take a certified cheque to circumvent the 12k fee.
In most cases the end user there would be a business and a certified cheque would suffice as long as you also have a signed bill of sale.

Once the escrow fee passes the $5k mark, it become pretty compelling to get a domain lawyer to handle escrow instead.

You don't need a lawyer, a paralegal can do it for a fraction of the cost.
