Intake & cataloging
Your item is logged into a documented inventory record.
The consignment ledger
Simple fees. No surprises.
You bring us the item. We do the selling. Our commission gets smaller as the sale gets larger, so valuable items put a larger share back in your pocket.
Actual marketplace costs are passed through at cost. ConsignList does not mark them up.
Service commission
The better the sale, the more you keep.
Your commission tier is determined by the final selling price. Percentage commissions are applied to net selling proceeds after actual third-party marketplace selling fees. Pass-through costs are shown separately.

Included in the commission
One service fee covers the work.
We do not split routine selling work into photography fees, listing fees, messaging fees, and admin fees. The core work of selling your item is included.
Research & pricing
We research the item and establish a competitive asking price.
Photography
Listing-ready photos are prepared as part of the service.
Listing creation
Titles, descriptions, condition details, and listing data are prepared.
Cross-marketplace management
Approved items can be managed across ConsignList and supported marketplaces.
Buyer communication
Questions, offers, and transaction communication are handled for you.
Sale & fulfillment tracking
The sale is recorded through payout, return-window, and fulfillment stages.
Transaction documentation
Listing snapshots and transaction evidence support a documented paper trail.
Third-party costs
At cost means at cost.
If another marketplace charges a selling, transaction, listing, processing, or similar fee, the actual charge is reflected in the item’s settlement. ConsignList does not add a hidden percentage on top of that marketplace cost.
No marketplace-fee markupThe actual charge is the charge passed through.
Paid promotion requires approvalBoosts, ads, optional authentication, and similar paid services are not silently added.
ConsignList Marketplace can reduce outside feesA direct sale avoids a separate third-party marketplace selling commission, though payment processing or other actual transaction costs may still apply.
The exceptions
Very few extra charges.
Early withdrawal
If you ask for an item back after it has been processed and listed, a $5 per listed item withdrawal fee may apply, capped at $25 per withdrawal request. No withdrawal fee applies before processing begins.
Extraordinary expenses
Oversized specialty packaging, professional authentication, restoration, unusual cleaning, or another extraordinary cost is charged only when approved in advance and passed through at actual cost.
Fee desk FAQ
Before you hand it over.
When is the ConsignList commission calculated?
The tier is based on the final selling price. For percentage tiers, the service commission is applied to net selling proceeds after actual third-party marketplace selling fees.
What happens if my item sells on ConsignList Marketplace?
There is no separate third-party marketplace selling commission to deduct. Actual payment-processing or transaction costs may still apply and are reflected separately.
Do I pay for photography or listing creation?
No separate routine photography, listing-writing, buyer-messaging, or administration fee is charged. Those services are included in the ConsignList commission.
What if my item never sells?
Unsold-item handling follows the consignment agreement. Items may be repriced, returned, bundled, or otherwise handled according to the agreed terms. Any extraordinary expense still requires prior approval.
When do I get paid?
Payout is released according to the applicable return-window and settlement terms after the sale is no longer subject to the normal hold period.
