Buying on ShadowX involves four distinct costs: a ~3% trading fee, a small fixed network confirmation fee, shipping charged separately, and a small surcharge if you pay in Bitcoin instead of Monero. There are no hidden "service charges" at checkout.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Listed price | $100 |
| Trading fee (3%) | $3 |
| Network confirmation | ~$1 |
| Shipping (EU) | ~$8 |
| Total | ~$112 |
The bottom line
Reasonable and transparent. The 3% is industry standard, the network fee is flat and predictable, and shipping is always extra. Stick to Monero to skip the small Bitcoin surcharge.
