Founding Seller Program
0% platform fees for your first 90 days.
We’re opening SNEIQ to a small first group of sellers. Get in early and keep 100%of every sale (minus payment processing) for your first three months — then move to our flat 5%, which is still a fraction of what the big platforms stack on.
Why the fees matter
On eBay and the big resale apps, the total take — final-value fee, payment processing, and category surcharges — commonly runs around 13% or more. SNEIQ is a flat 5% plus processing at cost, with no listing fees. As a Founding Seller you pay 0% platform fee for 90 days.
| On a $500 sale | Platform take | You keep* |
|---|---|---|
| Typical big platform (~13%) | ~$65 | ~$435 |
| SNEIQ standard (5%) | $25 | $475 |
| SNEIQ Founding (0%, 90 days) | $0 | $500 |
*Before payment processing, which is always passed through at cost. Illustrative — other platforms’ fees vary by category.
The part we won’t hide
Founding Sellers get the fee break, but you’re on the same trust and payout system as everyone else — it’s what keeps buyers confident enough to buy from new sellers in the first place. Here’s the deal, plainly:
- Trust tiers.Everyone starts as a new seller and graduates automatically — email-verified, then payout-onboarded, then Established after about five clean sales. Higher tiers unlock higher listing values and faster payouts.
- New-seller holds.For your first few sales, payout is released a few days after the buyer’s inspection window closes, and your first payout gets a quick manual review. It’s a short speed bump, not a wall, and it goes away as you build a record.
- Listing-value caps. New accounts can list up to a starting limit; completing payout onboarding raises it substantially. This blocks the classic new-account scam without blocking honest sellers.
- Payment protection.Buyers pay up front, funds are held securely, and you’re paid when the order completes — the same protection that makes buyers trust a brand-new storefront.
