How Selling on Collexpo Works:

 

Here is the basic process:

  1. Sellers create listings (at this time fixed price), and all listings last for 30 days.  There is an initial listing fee, but re-listing (for another 30 day period) fees are discounted significantly from the initial fee.*
  2. Unlike other online markets, Collexpo does not differentiate between store items and those listed in the greater “marketplace” – any item listed is always in both the seller’s store and the general marketplace.
  3. When an item sells, there is a tiered final value fee. (see below)
  4. All fees are payable monthly, though all vendors must have a credit card account setup for payment.  Invoices will be sent on the monthly billing date.

* Note that re-listing must occur without interruption in the listing.  An item listing cannot end and be re-listed at a later time for a discounted re-listing fee.  Sellers must choose an automatic re-listing option in order to take advantage of the discounted fees.  Re-listing options include one time (1 X), two times (2 X), three times (3 X) or Good-til-cancelled (GTC).  

 

Selling Fees

Collexpo sellers who choose to sell a la carte pay fees on the following schedule:

  • Listing fee of $0.25 for 30 days (period 1)
  • Re-listing fee of $0.03 after period 1
  • Final value fees according to the following schedule
    • 10.0% of the item’s value.

 

See Collexpo Fees for a more detailed explanation.
