The application lives at /sell/apply. It's built to be filled in over multiple sittings; nothing is lost if you close the tab.
Starting and resuming
- Enter your contact email (and optionally your business name) to start a draft.
- We immediately email you a resume link. It's valid for 60 days and is tied to your application and email. Bookmark the email, and you can pick up where you left off from any device.
- Fill in your business details and submit when ready. There are no document uploads; identity verification happens through Stripe after approval (see Who can sell, and how verification works).
One application per email address: if your email already has an application in progress, starting again returns you to the existing one instead of creating a duplicate.
Submitting
The submit step validates everything listed in Who can sell, and how verification works. If something required is missing, you get a specific list of what to fix; nothing is silently dropped. On success you receive a confirmation email, and our review team is notified.
Review timing and outcomes
Most applications are reviewed within 3 business days. You can check where things stand any time at /sell/status.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Draft | You're still filling it in. Editable. |
| Submitted | In the review queue. Locked for editing. |
| Under review | A reviewer is looking at it, or it was held for extra checks (for example, a sanctions-screening match). |
| Info requested | We need something clarified; the application unlocks so you can update it and resubmit. |
| Approved | You're in. Next steps: sign the seller agreement and connect Stripe. |
| Rejected | We include the reason in the decision email. |
After approval
Approval unlocks the seller dashboard. Two things stand between you and your first sale:
- Sign the seller agreement. See The seller agreement.
- Connect Stripe from the dashboard onboarding page. Stripe verifies your identity and business as part of that connection, and buyers can purchase your listings once Stripe confirms your account. That verification runs on Stripe's timeline, not ours; your dashboard shows what's outstanding. See Getting paid.
