From inventory to a completed trade.
One lot. Two businesses. Follow each step from surplus stock to offers, payment, delivery and receipt.
Business comes first. Businesses complete verification before trading. Sellers also need pilot eligibility approval.
Good stock starts with clear details.
The Seller brings inventory into Products and checks its photos, descriptions, prices and available stock. This example starts with 80 totes on hand and prepares a 40-unit lot.

Clear totals.
An 8% Seller fee.
The Buyer pays the agreed shipping amount. The standard Seller fee applies to merchandise only, excluding shipping and separately charged tax.
For this example: 40 totes × $18.00 = $720.00 in merchandise.

Keep offers, payment, delivery and receipt as separate, clear steps.
What needs to happen before trading?
Businesses complete verification before trading. Sellers also need pilot eligibility approval and the required payment-account setup. Catalog publication and approval to sell a Marketplace lot are separate checks.
Does accepting an offer take payment?
Final acceptance creates an order and reserves its stock for payment. The Buyer then reviews the complete total and completes payment. Fulfillment follows confirmed payment; an offer or a checkout success page alone is not payment confirmation.
Who pays shipping and the Seller fee?
The Buyer pays the shipping amount agreed for the order. The standard Seller fee is 8% of merchandise, excluding shipping and separately charged tax. Eligible merchandise refunds adjust the fee under the order’s refund rules.
When does the Seller receive their money?
Payment confirmation, Buyer receipt, fee accounting and a bank payout are separate milestones. Buyer-confirmed receipt completes the eligible transaction in Cossad. Funds are not held in escrow until receipt; bank payout timing depends on Stripe account readiness and its payout schedule.
What if there is a problem with the order?
The Buyer can report an issue from the order and include private evidence. Cossad reviews the case and any approved return or refund follows its required steps. A report, return approval or carrier delivery scan does not by itself complete a refund.
