Getting paid in your currency
When you sell on Preloved Bazaar, you’re paid out in your own currency — the settlement currency tied to your payout account. You list your items and view your dashboard in that same currency, so there’s nothing to convert in your head and no foreign-currency bank account to set up.
How a sale to an overseas buyer works
Your items are priced — and paid for — in your currency, even when the buyer is in another country. A US buyer buying from a UK seller pays the price in pounds, and their own bank or card issuer handles the exchange on their side. The sale settles straight into your currency, and your payout reaches your bank in your local currency as normal. There’s no separate cross-border payout fee for this.
Where FX (exchange) comes in
Because every sale is charged in your own currency, there’s no currency conversion on your side of the sale — and so no exchange-rate spread taken out of your payout. Any exchange happens between the buyer and their bank when they pay, at their bank’s rate, just as it would for any purchase from overseas. Preloved Bazaar doesn’t add a conversion or FX fee to either side.
What doesn’t change
- No Preloved Bazaar selling commission — we don’t take a cut of your sale. A payment-processing fee (via Stripe) is deducted from each payout and reversed if the order is refunded.
- Escrow and payout timing are unchanged by selling internationally — the same holding window and buyer-protection rules apply.
- Tracking still starts your payout timer, so add it as soon as you post.
In short: you list, sell and get paid in your own currency, buyers pay in that currency, and any exchange is handled by the buyer’s own bank — not taken out of your payout.
