Zero-fee marketplace — sellers keep 100%

Marka is a zero-fee buy & sell marketplace for one-of-a-kind goods sold directly by their owners. Prices in CAD by default — pick up locally with cash, take cards, or have it shipped to your door.

[Browse the marketplace](https://joinmarka.com/en/market)

## 0% marketplace fee

Marka never takes a cut — the seller keeps the full sale price.

## Pickup or shipped, CAD first

Listings price in CAD by default. Meet locally, or ship through the seller's carrier.

## Pay direct

Cash, e-transfer, or Stripe — straight to the seller.

## Real sellers, real photos

Sellers connect a real Stripe account — with Stripe's KYC identity checks — before they can accept card payments. Photos are theirs and condition is called honestly, with reviews on the line.

## Pickup or shipped

Meet locally and pay in cash or e-transfer (or card via Stripe), or have it shipped through the seller's own carrier. Your choice at checkout.

## Your card, protected

Card payments go through Stripe with full chargeback rules — same as any online purchase. No platform middleman to fight if something goes wrong.

## Find it. Pick the path. *Take it home.*

No platform middleman. No mystery fees. Three steps, your way at every one.

1. **Browse** Search by city or category. Save favourites with a heart so they're easy to find again.
2. **Pick your path** Reserve for pickup (cash, e-transfer, or card via Stripe) or buy with shipping. Every listing shows the seller's photos and condition notes, plus their rating from completed orders once they have one.
3. **Meet or unbox** Marka coordinates the meetup and logs both confirmations, or shows you the carrier and tracking number. Leave a review once your order completes.

## The seven *real* questions every buyer asks.

The things every new Marka user wants to know before they list or click buy.

### Are sellers verified?

Sellers who accept card payments connect a Stripe account and pass Stripe's KYC identity verification (government ID and bank checks) before they can accept card payments. Ratings and review counts from completed orders appear on listings as sellers earn them.

### What if the item isn't as described when I pick it up?

Pickup is yours to decline. Mark the meetup as rejected in Marka chat — for DIRECT (off-platform) pickups you owe nothing, and for CHECKOUT (card) pickups Stripe refunds you. Rejections and no-shows are recorded on the order.

### Is my card safe?

Marka never sees your card. Stripe processes payments directly to the seller's account with the same protections any online card transaction has — chargebacks go through your bank. We never hold buyer funds.

### Can I message a seller before buying?

Yes. Every listing has a Message button. Messaging is free and unlimited, and you'll get an email if a reply arrives while you're away.

### How does pickup actually work?

When you reserve a pickup, Marka chat opens between you and the seller to choose a meetup time and place. We log both confirmations and pickup completion. We don't insure cash handoffs — meet in public, bring a friend, trust your gut.

### Where does my money go?

For CHECKOUT (card) orders, your card pays the seller's Stripe account directly — Marka is never in the middle. For DIRECT (pickup) orders, you pay the seller in person off-platform (cash, e-transfer, however you agree). Marka takes 0% either way.

### How do I know where an item is?

Every listing names the city the item is in. Listings price in CAD by default, local pickup is coordinated in Marka chat, and our Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and Canada. Sellers connect their own Stripe account, so a seller can be based anywhere Stripe operates — the listing tells you where the item actually is.
