Hello, how can we help you?

How long does it take to get paid?

Quick answer

First-time sellers should see their earnings processed in their bank account within 5 business days of the item being delivered, whereas existing sellers should see the money processed within 5 business days of the item being in-transit.

If you sold your item via local pickup, those funds should be processed in your bank account within 5 business days of the buyer marking the order as ‘received’.

Be sure you have your bank account information and a billing card on file. If PayPal is available for your region, you can connect your PayPal account to receive payment. If there’s no bank account on file at the time payment is sent, you will need to transfer it from your Payout Balance.
