FAQs

Mearto Marketplace

How does it work?

If your item is eligible for Mearto's Marketplace, i.e. you indicated an interest in selling it and the asking price is between $50 and $4999, it will be automatically entered for a period of up to 30 days. You will receive an email notification each time you are contacted by an interested buyer and be able to respond through our online messaging center.

Do I have to purchase an online appraisal from Mearto?

No, you do not have to purchase an appraisal. However, it is strongly recommended that you do for a few different reasons. The dealers and professional buyers who access our marketplace prefer to purchase items that have been reviewed by one of our specialists. Appraised items rank higher and are more visible in the marketplace. Also, the purchase of an online appraisal includes a specialist’s suggested asking price.

What is the suggested asking price?

The suggested asking price is provided by a Mearto specialist when you purchase an online appraisal. Though you do not have to accept our suggestion and will be given a chance to enter your own asking price before your item enters the marketplace, it has been calculated to increase the likelihood of your receiving offers.

Why is the suggested asking price lower than the fair market value?

The business model of most dealers and professional buyers is to purchase items, then “flip” them for a higher price. To be profitable, their offers need to be lower than the fair market value. The suggested asking price is meant to be a reasonable starting point for your negotiations with the buyers on our marketplace. However, you can expect to receive offers that may be even lower than this price.

Am I obligated to sell my item once it’s listed in the marketplace?

No. You may consider any offers that you receive, but are not obligated to accept. Most items remain in the marketplace for a period of up to 30 day before they are automatically removed. If your item has not sold in this timeframe, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] to discuss other options that may be available to you.

Who is responsible for shipping the item once it has been purchased?

You are responsible for shipping the item to the buyer, purchasing adequate insurance and requiring a signature upon delivery.

How can I be sure that the buyer has paid for the item before I ship it?

To increase trust on both sides of the transaction, Mearto collects and holds payment from the buyer. The payment is released to you once delivery is confirmed by signature.

What is Mearto’s return policy?

A buyer may return an item for any reason within 30 days of purchase. However, in this case, the buyer is responsible for return shipping, insurance and requiring a signature upon delivery. The item must be returned within 30 days of making the return request and the buyer will receive their refund only when delivery is confirmed by signature.

How much does it cost to list an item in the marketplace?

It is entirely free to list your item in the Mearto Marketplace. However, if your item sells, Mearto will take a 7% transaction fee.

Why has my item been removed from the marketplace?

Items that have been in the marketplace for 30 days may be removed automatically. We will also remove any item that we believe to be a fake or forgery. If you repeatedly list items believed by our specialists to be fakes / forgeries or violate any of our other terms and conditions, your account will be suspended indefinitely.
