Selling on the market

Registering as a vendor requires verifying your PGP key and completing basic profile details. The process is straightforward but mandatory. No listing appears publicly until approval is granted by staff.

Listing items costs nothing upfront. You pay only when a sale completes successfully. This model removes entry barriers for new sellers. Focus on accurate descriptions and reliable shipping speeds instead of upfront capital.

What the fee takes out of each sale

The fee is a fixed percentage deducted from each completed sale. It applies only after both buyer and seller confirm the transaction. You do not pay anything for creating listings or maintaining your store page.

The rate remains constant regardless of the item price. This makes it easy to calculate margins accurately. The exact figure is displayed clearly during checkout. Build this cost into your pricing strategy to maintain consistent profitability across all orders.

How long approval takes

Review takes several days because staff manually checks applications and verifies PGP keys. There is no automated instant approval system. Expect a waiting period ranging from two to seven days. Patience is required during this initial phase.

What a new seller should list first

Start with items that are easy to describe and easy to prove. Standard products with clear photos minimize dispute risks. Avoid niche or ambiguous items initially. Simple inventory builds trust quickly and establishes your reputation for reliability among early buyers.
