Hello, how can we help you?

How long does it take to receive payment?

Quick answer

If you’ve sold before, you’ll be paid within five business days of the carrier confirming that the item is on its way. If it’s your first sale or you sold with local pickup, you’ll be paid within five business days of the item being delivered (or “marked as received” for local pickup). US sellers can get paid even faster by opting into Reverb Wallet.

Make sure you have your bank account information and a billing card on file. If there’s no bank account on file when payment is sent, you’ll receive a Payout Balance that will automatically be transferred to your bank account once it’s added. Learn how to manually transfer your Payout Balance.
