Manager Sales Market Fees Come to Sorare MLB and NBA

On Monday, November 7th, sellers on the Manager Sales Marketplace will see a 5% market fee that is inclusive of taxes and potentially VAT. This fee will be across all transactions on NBA and MLB Cards.

The 5% fee applies when a card is sold on the Manager Sales Marketplace and for Direct Offers, including Ethereum’s currency, ETH.

For instance, if you have listed a card and you sell it for $100, you shall receive a net of $95. Before this update, Sorare covered the Manager Sales Marketplace fee. Although, Sorare will still cover this fee for Sorare: Football, just not for NBA and MLB. 

Market fees are standard within the play-to-earn gaming industry, especially in NFT-trading games. Sorare plans to continue to ensure its product offering and fee structure can create the best overall experience for Sorare Managers. 

Now this news has arisen, the game’s terms and conditions have also been updated to reflect this market fee. 

Potential Reasons

Market fees are necessary for in-game trading and NFTs, hence why it has to be paid by some party. It’s interesting to note that Sorare previously covered the cost of all market fees but is now asking for NBA and MLB to be paid by buyers themselves. There are a few possible reasons for this. 

Of course, with a bear market, things are getting tough for a lot of people. This includes game developers, too. With such a niche in the sports NFT-trading world, MLB and NBA managers may be asked to pay their fees simply because the market is getting difficult.

Market fees are necessary to keep NFT platforms trading and developers, creators, and players going. So, this could be a reason. 

Also, it could be a case of the licenses involved with MLB and NBA and obtaining the NFT content. The most likely reason is that Sorare is attempting to test the waters before introducing a fee for Sorare: Football, its most popular game. By introducing a market fee for NBA and MLB, we can see if players are happy or not.
