How does the process work?

Sellers list their items and once sold, a 20% listing fee is deducted from the sale price. Once your item is sold, you will receive a USPS shipping label to attach to your package. After making a sale, you will be prompted to register with Stripe and provide your bank account information. You must complete this step before the proceeds of your sale can be transferred to your bank account. Don't delay in shipping your item(s) once they sell - buyers are excited to receive their purchase!Buyers browse items and pay applicable shipping costs, which are specified in each listing. Occasionally, the seller will include shipping costs for free when purchasing an item. Yes, you can be both a buyer and a seller!

What is the cost for selling an item?

You must include at least two (2) photos of your actual item to show its current condition and to demonstrate your ownership of it, even if you use additional stock images from other websites to illustrate the item for sale.

How is shipping handled?

Traditionally, the buyer pays shipping however sellers can choose to bear the cost of shipping as an incentive to buyers. When a listing is created, sellers are prompted to measure and weigh their item so shipping cost can be calculated and a USPS label generated.

What if my item is too large or too costly to ship?

When creating your listing, mark the “local pickup” box. This option will help connect buyers and sellers in the same region. Please use common sense regarding safety when meeting in person. Choose regatta venues, sailing/boating clubs and other public locations for a positive experience. The entire transaction must be handled through Resail and our payment processor to be guaranteed for any potential disputes. Should you choose to take the transaction offline, we are not responsible for the assisting with purchases that don’t meet expectations, are incorrectly described or if the buyer fails to make payment.
