For Whatnot sellers
Got a private buyer or a high-value slab outside your show? We verify and escrow it.
Whatnot already handles checkout inside your show, so this is for everything that happens outside one: the private buyer for a grail, the slab too valuable to send on trust, the deal agreed in a DM. We hold the money, check the card, and release it when the buyer has it.
Escrow a private dealNo marketplace commission. You found the buyer, so all you pay is 2% towards card processing.
Neither of you has to go first
The money is held
Your buyer pays us, not you. They can see it is held, and you can see they have paid, before anything is posted.
The card is checked
You post to one of our vetted partners on a tracked, insured label we pay for. They verify the card is what was agreed, then send it on to the buyer.
You get paid
The money is released to you once the card has reached the buyer. If it never turns up, it is insured, and nobody is chasing a stranger for a refund.
What it costs
Your buyer pays one protection fee, covering verification and tracked insured postage in both directions. You pay 2%, which covers the card processing and nothing else: no marketplace commission, because you brought the buyer.
| Deal | Protection fee | Buyer pays | You receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| £75.00 | £15.00 | £90.00 | £73.50 |
| £250.00 | £20.00 | £270.00 | £245.00 |
| £500.00 | £25.00 | £525.00 | £490.00 |
| £1,000.00 | £60.00 | £1,060.00 | £980.00 |
The fee scales with the value of the card because the insurance and the carrier do. It is shown to your buyer in full, itemised, before they pay anything.
One link, made in seconds
Pick the card, type the price you agreed, and you get a link and a QR code. Paste the link into the DM or the Discord thread, or put the QR on your overlay so viewers can scan it mid-show. Only the person you send it to needs an account, and the card never appears on the public marketplace.
- Links expire, so an old one in a Discord channel stops working.
- The first person to accept it gets the card, and it closes behind them.
- Your buyer sees the full price breakdown before they commit.
