Yes, Buyers and Sellers can communicate regarding the Listing through our Platform. Sellers are given 72 hours to respond to any Buyer questions that may come through.

Yes. In exchange for utilizing our platform, each successful sales transaction will be charged a Sales Premium — a small percentage of the final sales amount. For example, if a listing is sold for $50,000 and the Listing was assigned a 5% Sales Premium, the successful transaction will result in a $2,500 Sales Premium being charged. During listing creation, the seller chooses who pays the Sales Premium:
  • Buyers Premium – Buyer pays the entire Sales Premium in the form of a Buyers Premium (This is the default setting)
    • Seller Pays Nothing
  • Split Premium – Buyer and Seller Split the Sales Premium
    • Buyer pays 1/2 of Total Sales Premium in the form of a Buyers Premium
    • Seller pays 1/2 of Total Sales Premium in the form of a Sellers Premium
  • Sellers Premium – Seller pays the entire Sales Premium in the form of a Sellers Premium
    • Buyer Pays Nothing
Please visit our Sales Premium Options page for more information and details on the Sales Premium.
