KNITCRATE MARKETPLACE:
Sell to and shop from fiber artists worldwide!

1. How does the KnitCrate Marketplace work?

Any KnitCrate subscriber can list and sell their stash (e.g., yarn, needle sets) at KnitCrate.com's Marketplace! You can sell any items on the Marketplace - it does not need to be product received/ordered from KnitCrate. Please note that all communications regarding sold products must be in reply to our emails to you regarding the applicable item - this is the only way to track bought/sold items.

2. How do I become a KnitCrate Marketplace seller?

Simply:

1. be a KnitCrater: have a current recurring KnitCrate subscription (e.g., 5 Minis Monthly), and

2. create a profile page: use the form below to set up your page (see a sample page)

You can then list as many items as you want at our Marketplace listing page here.

Each listing's minimum price (whether for a single skein or a stash) must be $20 USD with pricing including free S&H in your home country. During listing you can increase your listing price for S&H outside your home country.

Seller Fees & Payments:

Seller fees: no listing fees, no credit card/PayPal transaction payment fees, no image uploading fees. That's not a typo - you pay no fees for listing or selling! However, a $2 fee will be assessed to your subscription account for each listing if you either (a) request removal from the Marketplace without selling such item through the the Marketplace or (b) refuse to sell or ship the item to a purchaser through the Marketplace.
Seller payment: choose how you want to receive your proceeds:

100% payment to you of a KnitCrate E-Gift Card - never expires!
100% credit to your KnitCrate subscription account
90% payment to you of an Amazon.com E-Gift Card - never expires!

Options #1 and #2 are equal to 100% the amount of the sale price in the Marketplace (e.g., you sell a skein of yarn for $25, we issue you a $25 KnitCrate E-Gift Card or subscription account credit). By choosing this payment option you understand and agree KnitCrate.com's Terms.

Option #3 is equal to 100% the amount of the sale price of the products sold in the Marketplace less a 10% fee to KnitCrate (e.g., you sell a skein of yarn for $25, we issue you a $22.50 Amazon E-Gift Card). By choosing this payment option you understand and agree Amazon.com's Gift Card Terms and Conditions here.

Buyers Fees & Payments:

Buyer fees: no fees for buying on the Marketplace - you only pay the product price listed (free S&H is built into the price) and we process the payment through our secure payment gateway.

4. Does my KnitCrate Marketplace listing expire? What happens when I list?

No – it’s always good so long as you maintain Marketplace program eligibility (e.g., in good standing).

5. Do buyers earn KnitCrate Points by purchasing from me through the Marketplace?

Yes, they earn one KnitCrate Point for each dollar spent just like regular orders (100 points = $10 in our online store). How's that for an incentive to your buyer?

6. Can buyers use a Gift Card or other promo codes/discounts if they are purchasing an item through the KnitCrate Marketplace?
