Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Founding Seller program?
Founding Sellers are early marketplace partners who receive a reduced commission rate (8% vs typical 12%) for a limited period when they meet eligibility requirements.
How do I qualify?
Verify your email, complete KYC verification, get your seller application approved, and publish at least one active listing. Spots are limited.
How long does the reduced commission last?
The promotional commission rate applies for the duration specified in the active promotion (typically 60 days from activation). After expiry, your standard subscription commission rate applies to new orders only — historical transactions are never recalculated.
Does VaultShield escrow still apply?
Yes. All buyer payments are held in VaultShield escrow until delivery is confirmed. The Founding Seller program only affects seller commission rates.
Can I combine this with Elite Seller benefits?
Promotion stacking depends on promotion configuration. Founding Seller focuses on commission savings; Elite Seller unlocks visibility and trust benefits as you grow.
