Founding-store offer

Eligible stores: 5% for six months, then 7%, plus processing.

Who qualifies, and when will I know?

Only professional stores assigned the offer by Model Car Center qualify. Eligibility is confirmed separately from store approval; applying alone does not activate the rate.

You’ll know you qualify when Model Car Center confirms the offer and its start and end dates for your store. Your active rate appears in Seller Dashboard. Until eligibility is confirmed, plan on the standard 7% rate. Contact us about eligibility.

What you need before listings go live
  • Store approval and a completed public store profile.
  • Stripe payout setup and shipping options.
  • Model details, condition disclosures and photos of your actual inventory.

There is no automatic stock sync with other websites. Update quantities here when a model sells elsewhere.

What happens after you apply

We review your store and email the next step. Approval is required before listings go live; review times vary.

All fields are required unless marked optional.

Use a full address, such as https://yourstore.com.

For example: your shop, Shopify, eBay or model shows.

7% standard marketplace fee + actual processingHow fees and deductions work

You pay 7% marketplace commission + payment processing.

  • Commission: 7% of the item subtotal. Shipping and sales tax are excluded.
  • Payment processing: Stripe’s actual transaction fee, deducted from your proceeds with no markup. It is based on the customer’s full payment, including shipping and tax, and varies by payment method and card.
  • Your proceeds: item subtotal + buyer-paid shipping − commission − payment processing. Collected sales tax is withheld and is not paid to you.

You cover fulfillment costs. Model Car Center covers its Stripe Tax service and Connect account/payout fees. No listing or monthly selling fees.

Tax and processing assumptions

Marketplace commission excludes shipping and tax. Processing uses the full customer payment; the initial 2.9% + $0.30 is an editable assumption, not a promised rate. Tax is withheld. Actual processing and tax are confirmed on each order; refunds may change proceeds.

A few things to know

When do I get paid?
  1. The buyer pays. Proceeds are held while you prepare the order.
  2. Ship by the order’s deadline and add tracking.
  3. Confirmed delivery starts the order’s protection window, currently 3 calendar days.
  4. After the deadline, proceeds become eligible for release if there are no open cases or payment holds and processing fees are final.
  5. Stripe sends the bank payout on its schedule. Bank arrival happens after release.

Open cases pause release until resolved. Existing orders keep the protection terms under which they were sold. Full payout and fee details.

Can I get help with setup or a spreadsheet?
