Most marketplaces protect one side. Buyers worry the item never arrives. Sellers worry about a buyer who says it was broken when it was not. Bothsure protects both.
If something is wrong, the buyer reports it within 24 hours of delivery. Both sides show their evidence: the listing, the packing photos, the tracking and photos of what arrived. A person at Bothsure looks at both sides before any money moves. Nobody wins just by complaining first.
Fees
We add up everything a sale really costs, what the seller pays and what the buyer pays. Against eBay, Amazon and Etsy, Bothsure comes out cheaper on almost every sale. Selling is free, and every sale is protected.
| Item price | Bothsure | eBay | Vinted | Depop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £10 | £0.70 | £0.80 | £0.60 to £1.60 | up to £2.09 |
| £50 | £2.35 | £2.70 | £1.80 to £4.80 | up to £5.25 |

| Platform | Total fees | Monthly fee |
|---|---|---|
| Bothsure | £2.50 | None |
| Vinted Pro | £1.80 to £4.80 | None |
| Amazon | £4.20 to £9.00 | £30, or 90p per item |

Totals are everything the platform charges the seller and the buyer on an item with no postage, including VAT where it applies. Competitor fees as published in October 2026; they change often. Vinted and Depop publish ranges rather than exact fees, so we show their ranges: Vinted charges buyers "usually 3% to 8% + £0.30 to £0.80", and Depop charges buyers up to 5% + £1 plus 2.9% + 30p from the seller. Amazon, eBay and Etsy depend on the category; the ranges cover their cheapest to dearest main categories. Checked against each company's own fee pages in October 2026.

Questions
Yes. That is the whole idea. Your payment never goes straight to a stranger. Bothsure holds it until the item has arrived and matches its description, and only then is the seller paid.
At the latest 24 hours after tracking shows the item was delivered, as long as the buyer has not reported a problem. If the buyer confirms sooner, the seller is paid sooner. The money reaches the seller's bank 1 to 2 working days later.
On many sites a buyer can claim an item is "not as described", send back something different, and get a refund. On Bothsure, problems are decided on evidence from both sides: your listing, your packing photos and the tracking. A complaint alone is not enough.
The seller is not paid until tracking confirms delivery. If the item does not arrive, you get your money back, including the protection fee.
Yes. Add up what the seller and the buyer pay, and Bothsure is lower than eBay, Amazon and Etsy on almost every sale. A £50 item from a private seller costs £2.35 in fees on Bothsure, against about £2.70 on eBay. A £50 sale by a business costs £2.50, against £4.20 or more on Amazon, £4.83 or more on eBay and £5.84 or more on Etsy. Like Vinted, selling is free for private sellers, and on Bothsure sellers are protected too.
Almost anything, new or used, as long as it is legal: clothes, phones, electronics, furniture, cars, handmade goods, shop stock and more. Weapons, drugs, stolen goods, fake branded goods and a few other items are not allowed. "Inspired by" items with no brand name or logo are welcome.
Yes. Businesses pay 5% per sale with no monthly fee, and their buyers pay nothing extra. We show buyers whether they are buying from a private seller or a business.
