Overview
ClearMarket is a marketplace platform built for independent sellers who want transparent, predictable pricing without complicated fee structures. Instead of navigating tiered commissions and hidden charges, sellers pay a flat $0.25 per listing plus 5% on sales—that's it. The platform is designed for artisans, vintage collectors, and hobbyist sellers frustrated by Amazon and eBay's complexity. Buyers get a curated selection of unique items, and sellers keep more of what they earn.
