Founders offer

Founders offer terms

The founders offer in plain language: what you get, how the fee lock works, what buyers pay, and what changes once your window closes.

The offer

The first 500 accounts to list or make an offer claim a numbered founder badge, shown publicly and kept permanently. Beta access also opens a 60-day 0% seller-fee window: every listing you create in that window locks 0% fees until it sells. The 60-day window starts at beta access and runs whether or not you have claimed your badge yet.

How the fee lock works

Each listing locks its fee the moment you create it. Editing price, photos, purchase limits, pausing, or resuming keeps the lock. Added quantity uses the current published rate only for those added units. Withdrawing and relisting, recreating, or substituting the item or condition creates a new listing at the current rate.

What buyers pay and what comes out of payouts

Buyers pay the item price, shipping, and tax, plus card processing at checkout unless they pay with Chase Sets balance, which makes processing $0. Every order includes Order Protection, funded the same way it is for every seller on the platform: through the shipping allowance, with any buyer overflow shown in one combined Shipping line. Your payout statement itemizes both.

What happens after your window

New listings created after your 60-day window lock the fee schedule published on /sales-fees at that time, not 0%. Listings you created and locked at 0% during your window keep that rate until they sell, however long that takes.

Is this forever?

The badge and any listings you locked at 0% stay that way permanently. Creating new listings at 0% only works inside your 60-day window.

Do I get the badge just for signing up?

No. An invite reserves your eligibility. Beta access starts your 60-day window, and your first listing or offer claims your founder number in activation order.

Do I really keep 100%?

Of the sale price, yes — 0% seller fees during your window. Shipping allowance and Order Protection come out the same way they do for every seller, and your payout statement itemizes both.
