How to sell digital products with zero platform fees

Digital goods are the easiest thing to sell online and the most heavily taxed by marketplaces. VaultMart takes no cut, and a digital listing reaches buyers worldwide rather than just your city.

Set the listing to global

When posting, choose global visibility. The ad then drops the local pickup framing and becomes available to buyers in every country instead of only your region.

Say exactly what the buyer receives

The questions buyers ask about digital goods are always the same, so answer them in the ad:

  • File format and file size
  • Whether delivery is instant
  • What the licence allows — personal, commercial, resale
  • Whether future updates are included
  • What software or version is required to open it

Price for the market you reach

Prices display in your currency and are shown to international buyers with an approximate conversion, so a fair price reads as fair everywhere.

Keep the conversation short

Digital buyers decide fast. Enabling disappearing chat and answering the licence question in the first reply is usually the whole sale.

Put this into practice

Posting on VaultMart is free with no commission. Want more eyes on an ad? Featured placement and Bump are optional one-off upgrades at checkout.
