Success-Based Commission – How It Works

Learn about success-based commission in roll forming machines. Machine Sales & Marketing guide covering technical details, specifications, and maintenance.

You Only Pay When You Sell

Traditional machinery marketplaces charge:

• Listing fees

• Monthly subscriptions

• Premium placement upgrades

• Advertising costs

Whether your machine sells or not.

Machine Matcher operates differently.

We use a success-based commission model.

There are:

• No listing fees

• No subscription costs

• No advertising charges

• No upfront payments

You only pay commission when your machine successfully sells.

Our incentives are aligned with yours.

Why Success-Based Commission Works

When sellers pay upfront, platforms have no performance obligation.

When commission is paid only after a completed sale:

• We are motivated to generate qualified leads

• We are incentivised to protect pricing

• We focus on closing deals — not just listing inventory

If your machine does not sell, you pay nothing.

This structure removes risk from the seller.

How the Commission Is Structured

Our commission model is transparent and simple:

1. You set your base selling price

2. Machine Matcher adds its commission on top

3. The buyer sees the full transaction price

4. Commission is paid only after successful completion

Your base price remains protected.

We do not reduce your price to earn commission.

We work to secure the full value of your machine.

Example

If your machine base price is:

£150,000

Machine Matcher adds commission on top.

The buyer pays the full transaction value.

After the sale is completed, the agreed commission is retained and your base price is transferred to you.

No sale = no commission.

When Commission Is Paid

Commission is only paid after:

• Buyer payment is secured

• Agreed milestones are met

• Inspection is completed (if applicable)

• Transaction is finalized

We do not charge before results.

This ensures complete alignment.

Why This Model Protects Sellers

Success-based commission:

• Removes upfront financial risk

• Encourages professional marketing

• Aligns both parties toward completion

• Protects seller base pricing

• Reduces desperation discounting

Because we only earn when you earn, we focus on:

• Qualified buyers

• Structured negotiations

• Secure transactions

• Deal completion

Not just inquiry volume.

Commission & Secure Payment Structure

All transactions operate through a structured milestone-based system.

Payments are made to Machine Matcher’s UK-based bank account and released based on agreed production or inspection stages.

This provides:

• Buyer confidence

• Reduced overseas payment risk

• Clear documentation

• Controlled fund release

Secure structure increases deal completion rate — which benefits both parties.

Why Sellers Prefer Commission Over Upfront Fees

With upfront-fee platforms:

• Sellers take financial risk

• Listings may not receive serious exposure

• No guarantee of qualified buyers

With success-based commission:

• Financial risk is removed

• Incentives are aligned

• Performance matters

• Exposure is structured

It is a partnership model — not a listing rental model.

Does Commission Reduce Pricing Power?

No.

Because:

• Commission is added on top of your base price

• Pricing strategy is structured

• Global exposure increases buyer competition

• Secure transaction structure supports stronger pricing

The goal is not to discount.

The goal is to achieve optimum market value.

Why This Model Encourages Quality Inventory

Because sellers do not pay upfront:

• They are more willing to list

• Inventory depth increases

• Buyer choice expands

• Platform authority strengthens

Increased authority benefits all sellers through stronger visibility and buyer trust.

• Commission percentage

• Payment stages
