We’re on a mission to build the ultimate database and a community for the world of collecting. A place fans and collectors throughout the galaxy can call home.
Built by collectors, we are also working hard to provide a marketplace solution and a better alternative when it comes to selling collectibles online.
As mentioned via email, we’re offering folks who sell at Dana Cain events $60 of value (comes in the form of Tokens which is the only cost of selling something on hobbyDB).
In order to get your free Tokens there are two simple steps –
Who gets paid?
It’s your business, so shouldn’t you have full control of it? Instead of having to wait for eBay to release payment to you, we utilize a direct PayPal checkout so that you get paid immediately when a buyer checks out.
Who owns the Customer?
You work hard to gain loyal customers, so you should be able to target them for future campaigns and sales. Unlike eBay, we share the customer name and email with you so you have full ownership of your lead list.
What does it cost?
We know you have a lot of selling alternatives out there, so we work hard to ensure selling on hobbyDB is super affordable. Here is an example – If you are listing a $100 item, on eBay you will pay $12.55. On hobbyDB, it only costs $0.50 to list an item for sale for Best Offer, and $3.00 to list it as Buy it Now. This listing is active for six months and then can be relisted for a fraction of the price. And that is before volume discounts.
Charge Fees on Shipping?
We’re not looking to nickel and dime you, so we don’t charge extra on your shipping costs.
Seller Friendly
We know that there is nothing worse than a buyer trying to scam one of our sellers. Instead of choosing profits over what’s fair, we ensure that bad buyers are sought out and blocked from making purchases on the hobbyDB marketplace.
Can power your very own website
Not only do we have a full-fledged storefront solution, we also offer our sellers the ability to have their own website complete with a database and marketplace of their own items. Sellers who have their own domain can forward their site domain to their hobbyDB storefront, maintaining the ultimate branding customization. You can see an example here – www.kmjdiecast.com or www.toadhallmotorbooks.com
Ease to List
Since hobbyDB is powered by a database, listing is often as easy as searching for your item in the database, uploading your custom photo, and clicking list. If the item hasn’t been added to the database, we’ll help add it so you can list it faster in the future.
