Getting paid

Sellwild makes it easy to list, sell, and get paid for your items, whether you sell in person or with nationwide shipping.

Cash payments for selling locally

If you meet up with a buyer in person, we recommend that you only accept cash as it’s the safest payment option, outside of paying with the Sellwild marketplace for shippable items.

To protect yourself from fraud and theft, we don’t recommend accepting the following types of payment:

  • Checks (personal, certified, or cashier’s)

  • Gift cards

  • Wire transfers

  • Other App-based payments like Zelle, Venmo or PayPal

  • Any other forms of payment

In-app payments for shippable items

If you ship your item to a buyer, you’ll be paid through the Sellwild marketplace. Make sure to set up a deposit account within 90 days of the sale so you can receive your payment.

Payment timeline

Once the item’s delivered, the buyer has 2 days (48 hours) to inspect it before the sale is final. If there are no issues and the item’s as expected, payment will be deposited into your account within 5 business days.

Your bank may require additional processing time. Payments are delayed on weekends and holidays.

However, if the buyer requests a refund or files a purchase protection claim within the 2-day inspection window, the standard payment timeline no longer applies. If the buyer files a claim, payment will be held until the matter is resolved.

Payment status

To check on the status of your in-marketplace payment, open your Wallet and view Completed Sales. This amount should correspond with the details found within the Sales tab of My Account. For in-process marketplace payments, you will also see updates and notifications here, so you know when to expect your payment.
