Frequently Asked Questions
Is it FREE to sign up?
Yes it is! However if you would like to become a seller, you'll need to become a verified user. But to buy, no verification or sign up fees needed!
Why do I need to pay to become Verified?
We have introduced the verification fee to increase the number of serious sellers. Whenever anything is free, the service can be abused, which is why we are putting this measure up to help make this community a better place.
But don't panic! You get your Verification Fee added to your account as CyberCash to pay towards listing upgrades and to buy items etc.
Do I get my Verification fee back?
Yes! It will be added to your account in the form of account credit as what we call CyberCash.
If you are a Seller - This can then be used to pay for listing upgrades and fees; such as Home Page Featured, Highlight Listings and more! By default, CyberCash is accepted as a form of payment which you can withdraw to your bank account by putting in a withdrawal request in your account.
If you are a Buyer - Your CyberCash can be used to pay for products from other sellers. So either way, you will be able to use it!
What is CyberCash?
CyberCash is our in-house payment method. It is a site-credit based system in which you exchange actual cash for CyberCash via a Credit/Debit card.
The reason why we have built a payment system within the site is simple:
ZERO Processing & Transaction Fee's
Unlike 3rd party providers such as PayPal and Stripe, using CyberCash is free to use! No fee's to process transactions with CyberCash.
And... as a Seller, you can withdraw your CyberCash to your bank account with ZERO processing fee's.
For example, If you request to withdraw £100, you will receive £100. It's that simple!
What does it cost to list an item?
Nothing! You don't pay for listing fees. You don't pay extra for photos, nor do you pay extra to accept offers or even to have your own Online Shop!

Are you cheaper than eBay?
Yes we are! No matter what the price you sell your item for, we ask for 5% as a Sale Transaction Fee.
eBay charge a whopping 10% on top of other listing fees - That is insane!

Do I need to have a Shop to list items?
No you don't. Some users like to have their own shop which they can advertise and market to their own customers as their Ecommerce store. However, some prefer to list on the marketplace as normal. You can sell items at ChangeChecker.com no matter your preference.
If you do have your own shop, you will get your own custom website URL redirecting users.
For example: The 'TGBCH' user has this website URL for their shop: https://changechecker.com/store/tgbch
This feature is included with all shop subscriptions including the FREE option. It is there to help you advertise using marketing and promotional material and make it easy for your customers.
We have very simple pricing if you were looking to have your own shop. For up to 25 products, it is FREE!
