Seller fees

Two ways to sell. Individuals and haulers pay a success fee only when a container sells. Dealers pay a flat monthly plan and keep 100% of every sale.

Dealer plans

Flat monthly pricing, no per-sale fees. Only active listings count — drafts and sold items don’t.

Per-sale success fee

Listing is free. Buyers pay the price you set. When a sale completes through our checkout, a success fee is deducted from your payout — nothing is charged if it doesn’t sell.

Portion of sale priceRate
First $5,0008%
$5,000 – $15,0006%
$15,000 – $50,0005%
Above $50,0004%
Minimum fee$99
Large fleet / package salesNegotiated flat rate, 2.5%–4%

Rates blend like tax brackets: each slice of the price is charged at its own rate, so a higher price never means a higher percentage overall. A $20,000 sale pays 8% on the first $5,000, 6% on the next $10,000, and 5% on the last $5,000.

Selling a fleet or a package?

Multi-unit and fleet liquidations qualify for a negotiated flat rate between 2.5% and 4%. Create your listing and note the fleet details in the description, or contact us before listing.

How payouts work

Buyers pay through Stripe checkout. The fee is deducted automatically and the remainder is transferred to your connected Stripe account. Card-processing costs are included in the fee — there’s nothing extra.

Fees are calculated on the total sale amount (unit price × quantity) per order. Rates shown are for sales completed through platform checkout; off-platform transactions arranged via inquiries are not covered by buyer protection.
