Selling on the Marketplace

Yes — payments go through Stripe with escrow protection. Funds are released to your account after the buyer confirms receipt.

Yes. Items stay in your inventory until sold. If you sell one locally, it's automatically removed from marketplace listings.

All marketplace payments use escrow — funds are held until the buyer confirms receipt. If a buyer reports a problem within 7 days of delivery, contact brecho.me support. Disputes are resolved by the platform, protecting both the secondhand seller and the buyer through the full escrow process. Items can be republished once a dispute is resolved in the seller's favor.

Use a specific title that includes brand, style, size, and condition. Add at least 4 photos: front, back, close-up detail, and any flaws. Write a description with fabric, measurements, and an honest condition note — buyers trust sellers who describe flaws upfront. Listings with complete photos and descriptions rank higher in brecho.me search results. The AI description generator creates a detailed draft from your photos in seconds.

Yes. Listing items on the brecho.me marketplace is completely free — no per-listing fees, no monthly seller subscription, and no setup costs. A small platform fee applies only when a buyer completes a purchase through our payment system, shown transparently per transaction. You can keep items listed indefinitely at zero cost until they sell.

Your seller credibility on the brecho.me marketplace grows through completed transactions, fast response time, and accurate item descriptions. Best practices: respond to buyer messages within 24 hours, ship orders the same day after payment clears, and describe item condition honestly including any flaws. Listings with at least four photos and a detailed description — fabric, measurements, brand, condition — rank higher in brecho.me search. The AI description generator creates a detailed draft from your photos in seconds. High-completion-rate sellers are promoted in category pages and search rankings.

Listings with accurate condition ratings and detailed descriptions rank higher in brecho.me search results. Use the standard condition categories — New with Tags, New without Tags, Excellent, Good, Used, Fair — and always add a written note explaining any visible wear. Buyers filter by condition when shopping, so a mismatched rating leads to disputes and returns, which lower your seller score over time. Accurate condition descriptions build trust, increase completion rate, and improve your ranking in category pages.

brecho.me charges sellers zero fees — no listing fee, no monthly subscription, and no withdrawal fee. The only charge is a Buyer Protection fee added to the buyer's checkout total, not deducted from your payout. This means your asking price is exactly what you receive (minus your payment provider's processing fee, shown transparently at payout). List as many items as you want and keep them active indefinitely at no cost. Seller earnings are held in escrow and released to your account after the buyer confirms receipt.

After a buyer completes a purchase, payment is held in escrow. When the buyer confirms receipt, funds are released to your Stripe account immediately. If the buyer does not confirm within 7 days of delivery, the escrow releases automatically. Once released, Stripe transfers the funds to your linked bank account on its normal payout schedule — typically 2 business days for most European and Stripe-connected accounts. You can see the release status and estimated payout date for every sale on the order detail page. For the fastest payout cycle, ship promptly after payment and share the tracking link so the buyer can confirm receipt as soon as the item arrives.

Yes. brecho.me collections let you group items into curated sets — vintage denim, summer dresses, a specific brand — that appear on your seller page and in category browsing. Create a collection from your inventory, assign items, and give it a title and description. Buyers browsing your seller page see collections as a curated view, making it easier to discover related pieces. Collections are also indexed by search engines — a well-named collection like 'Vintage Levi's Denim' signals topical authority to Google and can appear in style searches beyond the marketplace itself. Update collections with new arrivals regularly to give repeat buyers a reason to return.
