What to expect when planning an exit

Three practical expectations follow from the data:

— Plan for a one-day exit, not a multi-week exit. Median time to sell is ~3 hours; 81% of listings sell within 24 hours. — A one-week window is the realistic worst case. 97% of listings clear within 7 days. — Ticket size is not a barrier. A €30 listing and a €400 listing face the same liquidity profile.

These figures describe historical behavior of the Maclear Secondary Market between May 2024 and May 2026 and are not a guarantee of future liquidity. Liquidity on any P2P secondary market depends on aggregate buyer demand at the time of listing, which can change with market conditions.

How long does it typically take to sell on the Maclear Secondary Market?

Based on platform data from the last six months: the median is approximately 3 hours. 80.7% of listings sell within 24 hours. 97% sell within 7 days. The 14-day cases are rare and typically involve listings priced above what the current order book is willing to absorb.

What can I do to improve my chances of selling on the Secondary Market?

Applying a discount is the most direct lever. No seller fee is charged if the investment does not sell — so an unsold listing has no cost beyond the time it was active.

What happens if my listing is not sold?

The listing is removed automatically after 14 days. No fee is charged. The investment remains in your portfolio and the loan continues on the original repayment schedule until maturity.

How does selling on the Maclear Secondary Market affect your Loyalty bonus?

Selling on the Maclear Secondary Market reduces your active portfolio total. If a sale drops you below the threshold for your current Loyalty level (Beta €5,000, Beta Plus €15,000, Alpha €40,000, Alpha Plus €75,000), the level adjusts down immediately. Secondary Market purchases raise the total and can lift you into a higher tier.

How is AROI calculated on the Maclear Secondary Market?

AROI (Annualised Return on Investment) on the Maclear Secondary Market shows projected annual return adjusted for the remaining loan term. Formula: (Expected Earnings ÷ Remaining Period) × (365 ÷ Principal Purchased). Unlike APR — fixed at loan funding — AROI changes with the listing price. A discount raises AROI above the original APR; a premium lowers it.

What are the fees for the Maclear Secondary Market?

The only Maclear Secondary Market fee is a 2.5% seller charge, deducted from sale proceeds when a transaction completes. No fee applies if a listing expires after 14 days unsold or the seller cancels before sale. Buyers pay no fees at any stage. There are no listing fees, reservation fees, or relisting penalties.

How returns are split between seller and buyer on the Maclear Secondary Market

On a completed Maclear Secondary Market sale, the buyer takes the full remaining claim — every future interest payment and principal repayment to maturity. The seller receives the agreed price minus the 2.5% fee. Accrued-but-unpaid interest transfers with the claim. Buyers can review borrower repayment history before buying, unlike Primary Market entries.
