Hey Indie Hackers,
I just launched Whobal MVP today - a marketplace for buying and selling online businesses (side projects, saas apps, chrome extensions, etc.). It is a free platform for the founders to sell their businesses without paying any commission.
You can sign up as a seller and add your projects here: https://whobal.com/signup
💡Seller?
- List your unlimited projects for free
- Receive offers from buyers (only verified)
- Sell securely via Escrow.com (Escrow Pay Integrated)
- No paywall for unlocking offers (unlike 1kProjects)
- Absolutely 0% commission on successful sale unlike Flippa or similar sites which charge 10% to 15% commission
💰 Buyer?
- Join our buyers network for free
- Get new businesses via email when they are listed for sale
- 24 Hours early access to incredible businesses (curated by our team)
- Contact seller to ask a question or simple make an offer

✍️ Feedback?
I'd appreciate any feedback from the community, specifically on the features for sellers, the landing page copy, and what you like or dislike about the platform.
Thank you so much!
Looks nice.
Might add an FAQ.
How do you plan on making money?
Thank you for the checking it out. I am still not sure about making money. It depends how much attraction it gets. But I am not in favor of charging commission on successful sale.
I am planning to keep the basic listing free and charge users for optional upgrades (extra promotion, higher listing order, featured on homepage, etc.).
I wonder if there’s an opportunity to charge the buyer, here...
I am not sure but it can be interesting. How would it work? Charge an upfront fee to view listing or add a fee to listing price like BrandBucket?
All the current players in market are charging a success fee + listing fees to sellers only. No one is charging buyers.

Thanks a lot for a great feedback. I appreciate it.
My goal is to not just copy Flippa or any other service. I was a big fan of TransferSlot and sold my 2 side projects via their platform. Unfortunately, it was acquired few months ago and now it is almost shutdown. That is when I decided to build Whobal.
At the moment, the site looks quite similar to Flippa and 1kprojects which is quite understandable because these are basic details. Few things which could be unique selling points for Whobal:
I will reach out to you to discuss more.
