SAFEFUNDS Transaction Fee Schedule August 1, 2012.
(for our separate commercial paymaster service information Click here.)

Buyer’s Fees
The buyer's regular transaction fee is $0 at all times. There is no charge to the buyer for any of the Safefunds’ regular transaction services.** Buyers deposit funds directly into their own Safefunds accounts. Buyers do not send funds directly to sellers. Deposits may be made by bank wire, electronic funds transfer, or paper check.
** The only fee exception is a buyer's deposit securing a transaction that depends on the buyer's performance (not the seller's) and the transaction is meant to be cancelled if the buyer performs. In this exception case, the Safefunds fee is paid from the party that receives the funds at the end of the transaction.

The transaction fee is:
$38 for transactions less than $2,000.
$58 for transactions from $2,000 to $3,999.
$78 for transactions from $4,000 to $6,999.

The fee is deducted from the amount the seller receives.

We invite you to compare our fee and our service with any other payment company offering our level of protection and service. Ask them how they resolve any disputes between buyer and seller.

Our fee covers all Safefunds’ transaction services. There are no hidden transaction charges. The fee includes all dispute resolution services if they are needed. The transaction fee is charged on any transaction that is settled.

Unlike credit cards or other payment services, this fee includes our transaction negotiation and management, payment reservation and release, and any necessary dispute resolution services.

SAFEFUNDS is the best security at the lowest cost.

3rd Party Deposit Verification - Paymaster Fee Applies (Funds received from a third party with no relationship to the Safefunds account the funds are deposited into are subject to direct verification with the depositor. This includes telephone and email contact. Funds may be withheld from deposit until verification is complete.) 3rd Party sourced funds that are withdrawn without being used in a Safefunds transaction are subject to transaction charges based on the amount of the funds withdrawn.
