Marka is built for sellers who keep what they earn.

Marka is a peer-to-peer marketplace with one rule: sellers keep every dollar of every sale. No marketplace cut. No platform tax. Zero percent — always.

Why we exist

Most marketplaces take 10–15% of every sale you make. On a CA$500 item that's CA$75 out of your pocket before Stripe even processes the payment. Marka started with a simple belief: that percentage belongs to the seller, not the platform.

We make money through optional paid plans (Pro, Business) that add tools — unlimited listings, unlimited AI copilot runs, and channel sync — for sellers who want to grow. The free tier is genuinely free, forever.

How it works

Buyers discover items from independent sellers. When a buyer purchases, payment goes directly to the seller's connected Stripe account. Marka never holds your money. For shipped orders, you set a flat shipping price that the buyer pays at checkout, then ship with the carrier of your choice and add the tracking number. Or choose coordinated local pickup — you set the rules.

Our story

Marka was founded by Canadian entrepreneurs who kept watching marketplace fees eat into seller margins. After running their own businesses on platforms that charged 10–15% per sale, they started asking a simple question: what if the platform just didn't take a cut?

The answer was Marka — a marketplace designed from the ground up to put sellers first. Instead of a percentage cut on every transaction, Marka earns revenue through optional paid plans (Pro, Business) that add tools for sellers who want to grow: unlimited listings, unlimited AI copilot runs, and automated channel sync with platforms like eBay. The core marketplace is free. Forever.

Built for the way people sell

From the start, Marka has been designed for the realities of selling locally and online. That means CAD pricing as the default, carriers you already know — Canada Post, Purolator, FedEx, UPS — local pickup with built-in safety guidance, Stripe identity and bank checks on sellers who accept card payments, and buyer reviews earned on completed orders to build trust between strangers. Whether you're clearing out a closet or running a full resale business, Marka adapts to how you sell.
