How payout works in plain English

Net proceeds means the final sale price minus marketplace fees and approved direct selling costs.

Your payout is your seller share multiplied by the net proceeds for approved items.

Approved direct selling costs can include shipping materials, platform fees, paid promotion, authentication expenses, insurance, or other agreed resale costs when applicable.

Important notes

  • Not every submission is accepted
  • Payout happens after the sale is completed and funds clear
  • Timeline varies depending on category, condition, price, and buyer demand
  • Authentication costs may be deducted from seller proceeds when required
  • Items below $250 may be reviewed as bundles, collection groups, or special category fits

Authentication and questionable items

Luxury items with higher authenticity risk may require third party authentication before resale. If authentication is required, the cost may be deducted from seller proceeds unless acceptable proof is provided during intake.

Counterfeit, replica, altered, or questionable branded goods are not accepted for resale. Rejected questionable items may require return shipping and handling fees before return.

What sellers should take away

This service is designed for people who want help reviewing, preparing, and selling select luxury or collector items without handling the resale process alone.

The first step is not a guaranteed sale. The first step is a private resale review to decide whether the item is a good fit.
