SELLING > CONSIGNORS & SELLERS
Everyone can consign. It’s no brainer as we’ll guide you along the way. For autonomous sellers, we only let in those after vigorous vetting.
​
ACCOUNT SHARING
Currently, we do not permit users to buy, sell, or transfer their accounts without our consent.
​
MULTIPLE SELLING ACCOUNTS
It's recommended that users create accounts with real identity. We may require additional information from users to verify from time to time.
​
HOW DO I CONSIGN OR SELL FROM OUTSIDE UNITED STATES AND CANADA?
We welcome consignors across the world. We have a global network of shipping agents to receive your items at different locations. Simply talk to us.
​
CONSIGNING
Just talk to us through chat, email, or our Contact form. We're here to ensure your consignment experience effortless -- we take care of photo-shooting, presentation, handling, shipping and return, plus any difficult customers and fight on your behalf. We either send a staff member to pick up the item(s) at your home, or we send you a pre-paid label so that you can ship the item(s) to us. It's recommended to provide us with clear pictures and disclose any existing flaws and alterations done to your item(s), so we can help you sell the item(s) quickly.
​​
I DON'T LIKE THE LISTING PRICE, HOW DO I CHANGE IT?
In order to sell your item(s) quickly and pay you, copit will attempt to use a fair market price from various data points of the same or similar item(s). You can always tell us to change the price to your liking within the first month of the active listing(s).
​​
COULD I CANCEL MY SALE?
For consigned items, once the items have been paid for and shipped out, it’s very unlikely that we can recall the shipment. But we promise to try our best if you let us know ASAP.

If you're unable to retrieve the package from the courier, you must provide us with a drop-off receipt showing the original drop-off date. We'll initiate a missing package investigation with the courier. This process can take up to 30 business days, and you may be required to sign and return an affidavit, among other requirements.

​
I ACCIDENTALLY SENT UNRELATED ITEMS. CAN I GET THEM BACK?

​
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY ITEMS ARE FOUND TO BE FAKE?

CONSIGNED ITEMS
When you consign item(s) with us, either originally as intended or items that were previously rejected, we want to make sure you understand the following:
-
We have the right to list and sell your item(s) on copit as described in these terms and conditions.
-
If you consign item(s) that were previously rejected, price at our reasonable discretion but you can change the price to your liking within the first month of listing.
-
While we sell your item(s), you remain the owner, but we have the authority to sell them according to these terms and conditions.
-
Once your item(s) sell, we will pay you according to the Consignment & Selling policy and our Fee policy.
-
We will take good care of your item(s) while they're in our possession, using the same standard of care we use for our own items. However, we cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage, or aging due to reasons beyond our control, including fire, flood, customer handling, or normal aging. Please note that our insurance may not cover your item(s) fully.
-
If your item(s) remain unsold after 2 months, copit will reserve the right in our sole discretion, to apply a fair market price at 10% above the lowest price of the same or similar item sold. If there is no lowest price available, we'll set a reasonable price using market data. Moving forward, copit may apply price reduction on a monthly interval – each time this should not exceed 10% of the current price of the item(s). This does not factor in any promotions running concurrently.
-
If you wish to remove your item(s) from consignment, you may do so at any time. We'll send you an invoice for the shipping costs to send them back to you.
We are committed to making your consignment experience a positive one. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
FEE POLICY -- WHAT ARE MY FEES?
For Buyers, Consignors, Sellers, and Consignors of the ReLIFE program. The fees we charge for selling through copit are described in our Fee Policy.
WHAT ARE THE COMMISSIONS FOR SELLING WITH ReLIFE™ – A VERTICALLY RECOMMERCE PROJECT FOR OUR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE?
A commission fee is only charged when an item sold through copit. For items sold under $1000, the commission fee is 55% and for items sold for higher, the commission fee is 45%. The commission fee will include any treatment, repair, and restoration work, for which may cost hundreds of dollars if not more (e.g., some items such as damaged luxury handbags may require total deconstruction and reconstruction that will cost 2-3 times more than making an entirely new bag). Funds earned from consignment can be deposited to your preferred bank account, cheque issuing, or payment sent to your PayPal, or cash payment depending on your location.
HOW CAN I CONSIGN/SELL THROUGH THE copit ReLIFE™ PROGRAM?
Everybody can participate in this program simply by talking to us like you would do with standard consignment. It’s just our better process for the environment – when your item(s) are unsellable elsewhere or on copit due to damages or defects, as long as copit’s in-house craftmen and material experts can restore your item(s) to its former glory, we are happy to help put them back into the circular economy. You can read more about this program here.
​

If the 28th falls on a weekend, payments will be processed on the following business day.
