Item Pricing
Prices are based on the current retail price, condition of the item, external third-party data and historical data we've collected from selling similar items.
You can decide if you want to take our recommendation, or set a different price.
All that being said, we are constantly refining and improving our algorithm to make sure sellers get a fair asking price and buyers get a good buy.
Please note, payouts are based on the selling price minus handling fees. The price used to determine your payout is reflected in your seller account and pricing on our website can vary.
Item Price Drops
If an item doesn't sell we will drop the price by 5% every 10-20 days. This minimal price drop promotes your item to potential buyers that have signed up to receive price drop notifications and ensures your item is competitively priced.
Unsold Items
Please note, we do charge a $10 fee/item once items have been processed to pick up your items.
Getting Paid
You will be able to see a list of all your transactions, sales, and product listings with the current status when logged into your account. Once your piggy bank has a balance of $5 or more you’ll see 3 ways to cash out your balance:
- Store Credit (GoodBuy Bucks): they never expire! Your GoodBuy Bucks are issued immediately via email and available for use upon receipt of your code. Payouts must be requested within 365 days.
- Direct Deposit: connect your bank account using our secure payment system. Payouts take 3-7 days business days to show up in your bank. Payouts must be requested within 365 days.
- Donation: choose a lucky recipient from our list of non-profit partners to donate your balance to.
There is a 3 day window from when a buyer receives an item to when your payout is available to allow us to honor our buyer guarantee. Fee(s) are deducted from your first sale, or subsequent sale(s) if the first sale does not cover the full pick-up or drop-off service fee. Completed transactions that are available for payout are forfeited after 365 days if they are not claimed.
