How the fee is calculated
The fee is 2.5% of the hammer price in USDC, rounded down to the smallest unit of USDC (six decimal places). It is paid in the same blockchain transaction in which the buyer pays and the token is transferred, directly to the fee address below. The seller receives the hammer price minus our fee and minus any creator royalty.
Fee address: 6YPWzaeTwUGVCxJse8Y2oxVHAtqmF6V2VDRsDfUKKrNf
Example: hammer price 1,000 USDC. Our fee: 25 USDC. The seller receives 975 USDC, less any creator royalty. The buyer pays 1,000 USDC.
Packs and AI credits
If packs are offered, the price is paid first. For an equal-value pack it goes to the seller in the same transaction that moves the card, less the same percentage fee. For a chance pack the price goes directly to the pack operator, with the same percentage fee as a separate part of the same payment, and the card follows in a second transaction that the operator signs. We never receive the price, so we cannot refund it if the operator does not deliver, and the network fees of both transactions are borne by us. AI credits are optional. 1 USDC buys 10 credits, and a draft costs one credit. You pay in one transaction that you sign, directly to the fee address above, and a credit that is not used because a draft failed is returned. On the test network the USDC has no value.
Network fees
On the test network the Hammerprice settlement authority pays the network fees. Buyers and sellers need no SOL for them. Creating a missing token account for a recipient costs a small one-off amount of SOL. The party that pays the network fees pays that too.
Third-party fees
Some tokens carry a creator royalty. If so, it is paid out of the seller's proceeds in the same transaction. The vault operator may charge fees for storing or redeeming the physical card. Those fees are set by third parties and are not paid to us. Their terms govern.
Taxes
We are a small business within the meaning of Section 19 UStG (German VAT Act) unless the legal notice states otherwise, and therefore show no VAT. You bear taxes on your sales or gains. We give no tax advice.
Display of prices
Prices on Hammerprice are in USDC. A figure shown in SOL next to a price is an approximation from a public exchange rate and may differ from the rate at the time of the hammer. Only the USDC amount counts.
Changes
We may change fees with at least 30 days' notice. They do not apply to lots already running in a room when they take effect. Details are in the Terms, sections 9 and 25.
