Fees in detail: No buyer fee added to winning bids (site docs). Auction bids collateralized by a ~1% refundable Lightning/mainchain deposit; marketplace sellers post a small refundable deposit instead of custody. Sellers pay no percentage fee on sale — the ~1% refundable deposit substitutes for custody/fee. Official fee source.
For Australian users: BTC-denominated only (Lightning + mainchain); no fiat rails, no AUD.
Legitimacy check: Operating since 2021 Known incidents: None reported; deposit-collateral model is documented anti-fraud design, not an incident.
