Seller Agreement
Last updated: July 29, 2026
1. Seller Eligibility
To sell on EBLIT, you must: be at least 18 years of age; complete EBLIT's identity verification process through Stripe Identity; connect a valid Stripe Connect account for payout receipt; have a verified phone number; and maintain an account in good standing with no active permanent bans. EBLIT reserves the right to reject any seller application or revoke seller privileges at any time.
2. Listing Requirements
Every listing on EBLIT must include: accurate title and description; minimum 1 photograph of the actual item (not stock photos); accurate condition disclosure; a valid unique identifier (IMEI for mobile devices, VIN/Chassis Number for vehicles, Serial Number, or other applicable identifier as required by item category); accurate price; accurate item location. Listings for vehicle categories may only offer meetup delivery. Listings with false, misleading, or incomplete information will be removed and may result in account suspension.
2A. Listing Video
You may include one video in a listing. The video must show the actual item you are selling and must comply with the Acceptable Use Policy. A listing video may be up to 15 seconds long; EBLIT may adjust these limits.
(1) Audio. Audio is retained and forms part of the item's disclosed condition. Where the sound of an item is part of what you represent about it, you are responsible for the accuracy of that representation.
(2) Description and accessibility. You supply a written description of the video's audio, and you warrant that it accurately reflects the spoken words, the meaningful sounds, and the visual content of the recording, as required by Section 24 of the Terms of Service. EBLIT does not author, generate, edit, or verify it.
(3) Conversion and metadata. EBLIT converts the video you upload to a standard playback format and removes location and device metadata from the published file. You remain responsible for what the video depicts and for the accuracy of what it represents about the item.
(4) Removal. EBLIT may remove or refuse any video, or require that you replace it, if it does not show the actual item, omits or misstates a required disclosure, violates the Acceptable Use Policy, or lacks the required description. Removing a video does not by itself remove the listing.
(5) Retention.A listing video is retained while the listing is active and for EBLIT's standard record-keeping period afterward, and longer while it is evidence in an open dispute.
3. Unique Identifier Requirement
EBLIT requires a unique identifier for every listing. This is a core platform requirement and is non-negotiable. The purpose of the unique identifier system is to: prevent duplicate listings of the same item; enable ownership tracking and transfer; detect unauthorized re-listings of items that have already been sold; combat fraud and stolen property listings. You represent and warrant that the unique identifier you provide is accurate, genuine, and has not been altered or tampered with. Providing a false, altered, or fabricated unique identifier is grounds for immediate permanent account termination and may constitute fraud under applicable law.
4. Pricing and Negotiations
You set your own price. You may enable or disable price negotiation on a per-listing basis. When price negotiation is disabled, buyers cannot initiate chat with you regarding that listing. When price negotiation is enabled, any agreed price in chat is binding once the buyer proceeds to checkout at that price. You may end a negotiation with a buyer at any time before payment is secured. Once payment is secured, the transaction price is final and cannot be changed.
5. Transaction Completion Obligations
Once a buyer's payment is secured (confirmed by Stripe's payment_intent.succeeded webhook), you are obligated to complete the transaction. For shipping transactions: you must set a ship date within 48 hours of payment confirmation; you must drop off the package at the carrier by your confirmed ship date; you must use the EBLIT-generated shipping label; you must not request payment or conduct any part of the transaction outside the Platform. For meetup transactions: you must propose a meetup date and time within the required deadline; you must arrive at the agreed location on time; you must take the required verification photo when prompted, allowing the buyer to compare it to you (or your representative) at the handoff; you must participate in the code exchange process in good faith. Failure to complete a confirmed transaction results in: full refund to the buyer; a strike issued to your account; potential temporary or permanent ban depending on strike history.
5A. Shipping Obligations
This Section applies to shipping transactions and supplements Section 5. (1) Free Shipping You Offer: where you offer free shipping on a listing, the buyer is not charged for shipping, and the actual cost of the EBLIT-generated shipping label is deducted from your payout (see Section 6). An estimated shipping cost range is shown to you at listing time; the actual label cost may differ from the estimate, and the actual cost is what is deducted. EBLIT may refuse to allow free shipping on a listing where the worst-case estimated label cost equals or exceeds your net proceeds. Where a buyer elects to add shipping insurance, that insurance is paid by the buyer and is not deducted from your payout. (2) Accurate Parcel Information and Carrier Adjustments: you must declare accurate package weight and dimensions when listing an item that ships. You are responsible for any post-shipment adjustment a carrier assesses that arises from inaccurate weight or dimension information you provided, and EBLIT may recover the amount of such an adjustment from you as a deduction from your payout or a subsequent payout (see Section 6). Where a carrier assesses such an adjustment, EBLIT will make the carrier's record of the adjustment available to you.
6. Seller Payouts
Seller payouts are processed through Stripe Connect. You must maintain an active, valid Stripe Connect account to receive payouts. Payouts are initiated upon transaction completion. Payout amounts are calculated as: sale price, minus platform fee, minus shipping cost (where applicable), minus label fee (where applicable), minus GPS verification fee (where applicable), minus any return label costs deducted pursuant to EBLIT's return label policy. EBLIT does not guarantee any specific payout timeline beyond initiating the transfer upon transaction completion; actual receipt of funds depends on Stripe's transfer processing times and your bank. Payouts may be withheld via Stripe at EBLIT's direction pending dispute resolution or fraud investigation. Separately, where a refund is issued on a transaction after it has completed and your payout has already been paid, EBLIT may direct Stripe to reverse all or part of that payout to fund the refund: for a full refund, your entire payout for that transaction is reversed; for a partial refund, the amount reversed is the lesser of the refund amount and the payout you received, with EBLIT retaining its platform fee. This post-completion reversal is distinct from the withholding described above, which applies before a payout is paid. For delegated listings, see Section 6A — sale proceeds are paid to the delegate, not to the owner.
6A. Delegated Listings
What delegation is. EBLIT allows an owner to delegate the listing and sale of an item to another verified user (the "delegate"). Delegation is a revocable permission to list and sell the item on the owner's behalf; it does not transfer ownership. The owner remains the registered owner of the item until it sells.
Sale proceeds are paid to the delegate, not to the owner. On completion of a delegated sale, EBLIT pays the sale proceeds to the delegate. EBLIT does not collect, hold, or remit any portion of those proceeds to the owner.
EBLIT is not a party to your arrangement with your delegate. Any arrangement between an owner and a delegate concerning the item or the proceeds is solely between them. EBLIT is not a party to it, will not adjudicate it, will not recover funds on the owner's behalf, and bears no liability for it. Delegate only to a person you know and trust.
The delegate operates the sale. The delegate must be identity-verified to accept a delegation. The delegate is bound by this Seller Agreement, the Terms of Service, and the Community Guidelines with respect to that sale as though the delegate were the seller. Strikes and enforcement for conduct in the sale attach to the delegate's account.
Warranties. The owner represents and warrants that the owner is the rightful owner of the item and authorizes its sale. The delegate represents and warrants that the delegate is authorized to sell it.
Revocation. The owner may revoke a delegation at any time before a buyer has entered a transaction for the item. Once a transaction is in progress, revocation is unavailable until the transaction concludes.
Buyers are informed.EBLIT identifies to prospective buyers, before they transact, that a listing is being sold by a delegate rather than by the registered owner. The item's verified ownership record continues to identify the owner until the item sells, at which point ownership transfers to the buyer. The delegate does not appear in the ownership record.
7. Strike System
EBLIT operates a strike system to maintain platform integrity. Strikes are issued for: failure to complete a confirmed transaction; failure to ship within agreed timeframes; GPS spoofing or location fraud; identity mismatches at meetups; providing false listing information; filing false reports against other users; any violation of these Terms. Strike penalties escalate as follows: Strike 1: a warning; Strike 2: a 7-day suspension of selling and buying privileges; Strike 3: a permanent ban of the account. EBLIT reserves the right to permanently ban accounts for single serious violations including fraud, identity theft, or sale of stolen property. Strikes may be appealed through the Support system.
8. Tax Responsibilities
The Seller is solely responsible for determining and fulfilling the Seller's own income, revenue, business, and self-employment tax obligations arising from sales on EBLIT, and for any such taxes on the Seller's proceeds. EBLIT does not provide tax advice. EBLIT may be required by law to report certain transaction information to tax authorities. You agree to provide any tax information required by EBLIT upon request. Where EBLIT is required to collect sales or use tax from Buyers as a marketplace facilitator, EBLIT collects and remits that transaction tax (see the Terms of Service, Section 7). This does not relieve the Seller of the Seller's own tax obligations described above.
9. Prohibited Seller Conduct
The following conduct is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate permanent ban: listing stolen property; providing false unique identifiers; attempting to conduct transactions outside the Platform with buyers met through EBLIT; creating multiple accounts after a ban; offering or accepting bribes to manipulate dispute outcomes; threatening or harassing buyers; price manipulation or shill bidding; any form of fraud or misrepresentation.
10. Seller Ratings and Reputation
Buyers may rate transactions after completion. Your seller rating is visible to potential buyers and affects your credibility on the Platform. EBLIT does not remove legitimate negative ratings. Sellers who consistently decline LiveVerify requests may see lower ratings from buyers who value this feature. EBLIT reserves the right to use seller performance data to prioritize or deprioritize listings in search results.
11. Virtual Storefront
Sellers may customize their public storefront page with a cover photo, business hours, and about section. Your storefront is publicly visible. You are responsible for all content you publish on your storefront. You may not use your storefront to direct buyers to transact outside the Platform.
12. Agreement to Terms
By completing Stripe Identity verification and Stripe Connect onboarding, you agree to this Seller Agreement in its entirety. This Seller Agreement is incorporated into and subject to EBLIT's Terms of Service.
