Free to start. Tools, not fees.

Straight to your Stripe connected account. You're the merchant of record. Stripe takes its standard processing fee (about 2.9% + CA$0.30). Marka's marketplace fee is CA$0.00. We never hold buyer funds and there's no escrow.

When you list with pickup enabled, the meetup is coordinated through Marka chat. We log both confirmations and record no-shows on the order, and on a card-paid pickup, the buyer can leave feedback on a no-show. The buyer pays however the two of you agree — cash, e-transfer, or card via Stripe at checkout. For cash and e-transfer pickups, no money touches Marka. We don't insure cash handoffs — meet in public, bring a friend, trust your gut.

Not yet. eBay mirroring is planned and is not live. Once it ships, you would connect your eBay account and Marka would pull your active listings, photos, prices, and inventory counts, with your eBay listings staying in charge. Until then, list directly on Marka.

Because Stripe charges your account directly, card disputes (chargebacks) happen between the buyer's bank and you. Marka observes the dispute lifecycle via webhook and surfaces it in your console, but we don't arbitrate. For pickup orders, no-shows and rejections are recorded on the order.

No — there is no cut to take. You're the merchant of record on your own Stripe account, so any GST/HST or provincial sales tax you're required to charge is yours to set, collect, and remit; Marka does not calculate, collect, or remit sales tax on your behalf, and our fee is 0% of the order either way. Whether you need to register and charge tax at all depends on your own situation — talk to an accountant, not to us.

Marka is open to buyers from day one wherever they are. CAD is the default listing currency and our Terms are governed by Ontario law. Sellers connect their own Stripe Connect account in any country Stripe supports — that's most of the world. Local pickup works between buyers and sellers in the same city; cross-border shipping is at the seller's discretion with the carrier of their choice.

Yes. Sellers choose at listing time: pickup only, shipping only, or both. Set a flat shipping price on the listing — buyers pay it at checkout — then ship with the carrier of your choice and add the tracking number so your buyer can follow the parcel. Carrier labels and live rates through Easyship are coming and are not available yet.
