Questions
Short answers.
When am I charged?
The first 1,000 approved basic listings are free. Auto‑Deal and promotion are optional paid upgrades you can purchase during BETA. After BETA, publishing costs $5 for 30 days. WAVE does not charge again when the item sells.
Does price or category change the fee?
No. A chair, truck, collectible or piece of equipment costs the same to list.
Do I have to promote my listing?
No. Promotion is optional. Every approved listing appears in normal search and map results.
How can I pay the listing fee?
Ordinary card or bank-compatible checkout, plus supported crypto options.
How can a buyer pay me?
Directly, using the payment method you agree on. WAVE can independently verify BTC and XRP transaction evidence without holding the money. Cash, bank and unsupported crypto payments require the seller to confirm receipt and are labeled accordingly.
Do you take a sale commission?
No. WAVE charges $0 when an item sells. A payment provider or crypto network may show its own processing or network fee before payment.
Do you keep a hold on my card?
No. The $5 listing payment is completed normally after BETA. WAVE does not keep the charge open or save it for a later sales commission.
What does a straight trade cost?
There is no transaction commission. The normal listing price and any optional promotion or premium AI purchase still apply.
Do I have to use AI?
No. Manual listing and negotiation remain available. Auto-Deal and Buyer Agent are optional paid tools.
Does a referral change what the seller pays?
No. Referral rewards come from the marketplace’s fee.
Is this insurance?
No. Screening and records reduce risk but cannot guarantee recovery.
