FuzzSwap is a new marketplace for guitar pedals, modded gear, guitars and amps, opening soon. Planned fees start at 5%, about the same as Reverb on day one, and drop to 1% as you build a good record. Card processing is passed through at cost, and offers can be binding: accepted means paid.
First 100 sellers start at 4% once you finish setup at launch. Free to join.
What's different when you sell here
Six things that cost sellers money or patience elsewhere, and how FuzzSwap plans to handle them.
Your fee drops as you stay
About the same as Reverb on day one at 5%, then 4, 3, 2 and 1% as you build a record of sales, clean disputes and fast shipping. Tier rates only go down; your tier follows your record. Card processing at cost. No paid ranking.
See the fee ladder →Accepted means paid
Planned: turn on binding offers and the buyer's card is held when they make the offer, then charged the moment you accept. No more chasing an accepted offer that never gets paid.
How binding offers work →Pricing that understands mods
Planned: a Mod Sheet lists every mod, part and hour of labor, who did it and whether it's reversible, so a modded pedal is priced like one, not like a stock unit.
Sell modded pedals →Bring your Reverb history
Coming at launch: import the order and earnings CSVs you download from Reverb. Your track record comes with you. Verify your Reverb shop and you start at the 4% Trusted tier. Buyer addresses are dropped.
How import works →Your sound first
Planned: pick the genres you play and see rock, metal, indie or ambient gear first, with an always-on 'outside your lane' shelf and a sort that ignores genres for anyone who wants it.
How 'your sound' works →Your listing, your rules
Planned: offers, returns, shipping protection, local pickup: you set each one per listing, or set a default once. We don't make a cent from disputes, unpaid orders or penalty fees.

The planned fee ladder: 5% down to 1%
At launch, your rate drops as you complete sales, keep a clean dispute record and ship on time. It's based on your track record, not how many dollars you move. Card processing (2.9% + 30¢) is passed through at cost, and we cover processing on sales tax.

For buyers
Planned for launch, so your next new-gear day goes smoothly:
Holds, not surprise charges
A binding offer only holds your card. If the seller declines or doesn't answer in time, the hold is released.
No paid ranking
Nobody pays to sit at the top of your results. Just gear, sorted for your sound or newest first.
Know what's inside
Modded gear comes with a Mod Sheet: what changed, the parts, who did it, and gut shots.
A person decides disputes
Every problem gets a case number and a human decision with a written reason, plus one appeal.
