The informed handover
From one musician
to the next.
The Exchange brings human review, secure Shopify checkout, tracked delivery, and a clear inspection period to a transaction that is still personal.
The complete exchange
One transaction.
Six visible stages.
Neither side should have to guess what happens next. The order record moves from review to checkout, shipment, delivery, inspection, and payout with a clear status at every stage.
- 01
Present it properly
The seller records maker, model, condition, history, price, shipping, and detailed photography.
- 02
Specialist review
We assess completeness, condition detail, marketplace fit, and the evidence a buyer needs before publication.
- 03
Decide with context
The buyer can compare, ask questions, follow the seller, save the listing, or make a bounded offer.
- 04
Checkout through Shopify
Payment and order creation happen through the connected Shopify checkout. Off-platform payment is never protected.
- 05
Ship and inspect
The seller adds tracking. After confirmed delivery, the buyer has 72 hours to inspect the instrument and report a material mismatch.
- 06
Complete the handover
If no dispute is opened, payout becomes eligible. Approved claims follow the documented return and refund workflow.
For sellers
Clear economics.
No listing fee.
You set the asking price and shipping. The Exchange earns a 10% success fee only when the sale completes. A $1,000 sale means a $100 platform fee and a $900 seller amount before any separately disclosed adjustments.
Protection in practice
Trust built from
evidence and timing.
Protection is not a badge placed beside a button. It depends on a reviewed listing, an on-platform order, tracked shipment, timely inspection, and evidence when a claim is made.
72-hour inspection
Understand coverage, deadlines, evidence, returns, and resolution.
