The One-Paragraph Version

ExitBid is a curated auction marketplace for buying and selling verified online businesses. Founded in 2026 by Alex Web. Sellers pay a flat listing fee and keep 100% of the final sale price (zero commission). Auctions run for 5 days. Average time to sale: 3.2 days. Maximum 14 concurrent listings. 34% of applications pass verification. Categories: SaaS, e-commerce, mobile apps, Telegram bots, Chrome extensions, AI tools, newsletters, and crypto/Web3 projects.

Why ExitBid Exists

The two incumbents — Empire Flippers (15% commission) and Flippa (5–10% fees + long cycles) — extract a huge slice from sellers and still take months to close. Acquire.com is SaaS-only and runs on a subscription model that penalizes slow sales. ExitBid compresses the deal cycle to 5 days, charges the seller a flat fee, and opens categories that other marketplaces reject (Telegram bots, Chrome extensions, AI tools, crypto projects).

Fee Math on a $100K Exit
