Fees & Pricing

Planned fees for launch in 2027 — no payments are processed in the prototype. All amounts are in euro and net of VAT. CargoVault is designed for companies only, so prices are shown net in accordance with § 9 PAngV; VAT is added where legally due and the reverse charge applies to valid EU VAT-registered buyers outside Germany.

Registration and listing

Free

No charge

Creating a company account, passing verification, publishing lots, bidding and using the deal chat cost nothing. The planned success fee will apply only when a real deal completes after launch.

Planned success fee on a completed deal

2–3% of deal value

Deducted when escrowed funds are released

The planned standard rate is 3%. Reduced rates from 2% are planned to apply to high-volume and repeat sellers. The exact percentage and the resulting euro amount are shown to both parties before the deal is accepted, and no fee is charged if a deal does not complete.

Planned bidding deposit

€500, refundable

Locked when you place a bid

After launch, a refundable deposit is intended to secure serious bidding. It will be returned in full to losing bidders when the auction closes, and credited against the purchase price for the winner. It is forfeited only where a winning bidder withdraws without cause, as set out in the Terms. All prototype deposits are simulated and no money moves.

Planned Safe Room subscription

from €299 / month

Optional, standalone use

Unlimited fingerprinted document storage, integrity verification, controlled sharing and audit trails for companies that want the document room outside a specific deal. The Safe Room attached to your own deals is included at no extra cost.

Planned document verification request

Quoted per request

Optional, before you order

Where you ask us to contact an issuer and confirm that a certificate or licence was genuinely issued, the price depends on the issuer and jurisdiction. You see the amount and approve it before the request is submitted. We confirm what the issuer tells us; we never guarantee an outcome.

Currency conversion

None charged by us

Third-party costs

Deals are denominated in the currency of the listing. CargoVault adds no conversion margin; any conversion cost is charged by your own bank or payment provider.
