Selling

Membership, listings, and what opens checkout.

Membership is required to accept orders

Listing is free. Accepting money is not. An active paid membership is what opens checkout on your storefront: without one your products stay visible and browsable, but a buyer cannot complete a purchase. There are two tiers, both allow selling, and the higher one adds a stronger verification level and the features attached to it.

The two tiers

Identity Verified: $3 a month. A checkmark on your profile confirming a real person stands behind the company. This is the cheapest way to open checkout.
Business Verified: $5 a month. A premium badge confirming the business as well as the person, and the standing that comes with the stronger check.

Both open checkout, and neither changes the platform fee. Prices are in US dollars per month, per company, and each company you run carries its own.

If a membership payment fails

A failed payment opens a grace period. Nothing changes during it: you keep selling while the payment is retried. Checkout closes only once the grace period ends without a successful payment, and it reopens the moment one goes through.

Listings

Products can be physical or digital, with inventory, shipping and tax per item.
Services are listed the same way but are enquiry-based rather than checkout-based.
Supply and Demand posts are public "looking for" and "offering" announcements, separate from your catalogue.
Reviews come from verified buyers only, and are ranked so a single review cannot swing a rating.

Orders

A cart that spans several sellers splits into one order per seller, so payouts, shipping and disputes stay separate. Stock is reserved when a buyer checks out and deducted when the payment is confirmed, which is what stops two buyers from taking the last unit.

There is a minimum order total of $5 per seller. Below roughly that amount the fixed part of the card fee eats the whole order.

Selling across a border

Currency: You list in your own currency. The charge is made in US dollars at the rate in force when the buyer checks out, and a rate we cannot obtain refuses the checkout rather than guessing. The conversion cost is read off the real transaction and charged to the order it belongs to.
Customs and import taxes: On a cross-border order the buyer is normally the importer and owes the duty at their border. Declare the contents and the value accurately, ship with the paperwork the destination requires, and say in your listing what you cover. An order refused at customs is a dispute you will be leading.
Sales tax and VAT: You set the rate that applies to your sale and you remit it. We take no margin on it. Where a destination makes the marketplace itself the collector, we will say so here before it applies to you.
Where you may not ship: You are responsible for export controls and sanctions on what you sell and where it goes. Do not list what you are not licensed to sell where you are selling it.
