Reach the right buyers
Our entire audience is reef keepers actively looking to buy. No casual browsers. No tyre-kickers. Just serious buyers.
No random listing rejections
eBay removes livestock listings without warning. Forum classifieds make you jump through hoops with formats and justifications. We built this platform for reef keeping. Your listings stay live.
Fair DOA policies
eBay charges sellers 100% on every DOA claim. Our graduated system means good sellers pay 0%. Build your record, reduce your risk.
Livestock and equipment
Sell coral, fish, inverts, and dry goods (tanks, equipment, food, supplements). Full inventory management for your complete product range.
Local customer discovery
Buyers search by distance. Get discovered by customers in your area looking for local pickup or reduced shipping costs.
Fairer DOA accountability
eBay charges sellers 100% on every DOA claim, regardless of track record. We reward good packaging - most sellers never pay a penny.
How it works
Your clawback rate is based on your actual DOA record. New sellers pay 100% clawback during a trust-building period (first 10 shipments). After that, rates are graduated: 0% for good sellers (0-5% DOA), 50% for average (5-10%), and 100% for poor (10-20%+). Most sellers have zero DOA claims and pay nothing.
