Fees and Services

It is free to join and set up a shop on Multiply. We charge a percentage of the sale price as a transaction fee when an item sells. Multiply.s Fees Policy, is subject to change. Changes to the Fees Policy are effective after we provide you with at least fourteen (14) days’ notice by posting the changes on the Site. We may, at our sole discretion, change some or all of these services at any time. In the event we introduce a new service, the fees for that service will be effective at the launch of the service. You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with using Multiply. We keep your bank account information on file. When an item sells, Multiply disburses the funds to you, minus the amount of the transaction fee. These fees, along with each of your sales, will be documented in the Wallet area of the Stock Room.

Listing and Selling of Products and Services

By listing any items for sale on the Website, you warrant that you and all aspects of the item comply with this Agreement and applicable law. You also warrant that you may legally sell the item. All sellers are urged to outline shop policies for their shop on Multiply. These policies may include, for example, shipping, returns, payment and selling policies. Sellers must create reasonable policies in good faith and must abide by such policies. All shop policies must comply with this Agreement. Sellers are responsible for enforcing their own reasonable shop policies. We reserve the right to request that a seller modify its shop policy. We also encourage you to research the applicable laws and regulations that may apply to your transaction.

Binding Sale:All sales are binding. The seller is obligated to ship the order or otherwise complete the transaction with the buyer in a prompt manner, unless there is an exceptional circumstance, such as: (a) the buyer fails to meet the terms of the seller’s listing (such as payment method), or (b) the seller cannot authenticate the buyer’s identity. The buyer is obligated to deliver appropriate payment for items purchased, unless there is an exceptional circumstance. If you breach any of these conditions, we reserve the right to terminate your account and any other measure that is legally available to us. The seller is also obligated to observe the warranties, express or implied, of the items sold under applicable law. Sellers must honor any return or exchange policy set by applicable law as a condition for continued use of the Website. Buyers agree that Multiply is not a conduit for sales return or exchanges and such requests, subject to the applicability of the Buyer Protection Policy below, must be coursed directly to the seller. Any disagreement between the buyer and the seller on warranties, sales returns and exchanges is solely a matter between them and Multiply shall not be liable for any damages that may arise from such disagreements. This rule applies with equal force to the sale of services wherein Multiply does not provide any guarantee on the proper and timely performance of such services offered by the website users and members. Should a court of competent jurisdiction declare Multiply liable for damages arising from such disagreement and disputes by the buyer and seller, the seller of the goods or offerer of such services shall hold Multiply free from such liability and undertakes to reimburse Multiply of all legal costs incurred and all damages paid related to such disputes or disagreements.

Fee Avoidance:The price stated in each item listing description must be an accurate representation of the sale. Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fees to cover the costs for packaging and mailing the items. Sellers may not charge excessive shipping fees or otherwise avoid fees. You may not alter the item’s price after a sale for the purpose of avoiding Multiply.s transaction fees, misrepresent the item’s location, or use another user’s account without permission.

You may not list, advertise or offer for sale or sell any products or services that violate this Agreement or that are prohibited by Applicable Law. A partial list of such items (“Prohibited Items”) is as follows:

Buyer Protection

Buyers and sellers share the responsibility for making sure purchases facilitated by Multiply are a hassle-free experience. We offer a Buyer Protection program (link) which covers the purchase price plus shipping under certain conditions (see details). We strongly encourage buyers to work with sellers before opening a Buyer Protection claim. Buyers and sellers agree to follow the requirements of the Buyer Protection Policy with respect to claims. Buyer Protection covers only claims filed in accordance with the Buyer Protection Policy. We may suspend the Buyer Protection Policy without notice if we suspect abuse or interference with the proper working of the program.

We require sellers to comply with our resolution process. As a condition of our service, you, as a Buyer or a Seller, as applicable, agree that Multiply will make a final decision, in our sole discretion, on any claim that a buyer files under the Buyer Protection Policy. You agree that Multiply has no liability whatsoever to you or any other person in connection with any decision that we make and agree to hold us harmless from any claims that you could make in this regard. If we resolve a dispute in the buyer’s favor, we will refund the buyer for the full cost of the item (including any applicable sales taxes) and the original shipping, and we will require the seller to reimburse us for the amount due to the buyer. Without limiting the foregoing, sellers may not have to pay a reimbursement for a claim if they provide the documentation (for example, delivery confirmation or proof that the item was as described) indicated in the Buyer Protection policy. In addition:

  • Sellers must have a reimbursement method on file.
  • Sellers agree to allow us to remove funds from their accounts for amounts due to buyers.
  • Where there are insufficient funds in seller accounts, we will require another reimbursement method.
  • Sellers agree to allow us to charge the payment method they designate for amounts due buyers.

If sellers do not provide Multiply with a valid reimbursement method, we may collect amounts owed using other collection mechanisms, including retaining collection agencies. We may also suspend or restrict sellers from trading on our sites until payment is made.

  • Correcting Mistakes in Payments to Buyers or Sellers. We reserve the right to fix any processing errors we discover. We will correct any processing errors by debiting or crediting the payment method used for the erroneous Buyer Protection refund or reimbursement.
