Reverb alternative
If you sell pedals, guitars or amps, here's what FuzzSwap plans to do differently: fees that drop the longer you sell, offers that get paid, and pricing that counts your mods.
FuzzSwap is a pre-launch gear marketplace for pedals, guitars and amps. Its planned seller fee starts at 5%, about even with Reverb's 5% + 3.19% + $0.49, then drops to 1% the longer you sell and ship on time. Card processing is passed through at cost.

FuzzSwap is a pre-launch marketplace built for pedals, modded gear, guitars and amps. Planned features: a seller fee that drops from 5% to 1% the longer you sell, card processing at cost, optional binding offers, a Mod Sheet for modified gear and genre-first discovery. Early access is open now.
About the same on day one, and less the longer you stay. On a $500 sale with no tax, Reverb's published fees total $41.44 (5% + 3.19% + $0.49). FuzzSwap's planned fees are $39.80 at 5%, $34.80 at 4% (where founding sellers start) and $24.80 at 2%.
Reverb is live today and buyers already know it; FuzzSwap hasn't opened yet. Reverb also caps its selling fee at $500, so on sales above $10,000 Reverb's published fees can be lower than FuzzSwap's planned fees.
No. FuzzSwap is an independent marketplace and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Reverb. Reverb is a trademark of its respective owner.
Yes. Nothing stops you from listing in both places, and at launch you can import your Reverb history so your track record follows you.
The first 100 sellers start at the Trusted tier: a 4% platform fee instead of 5%, plus card processing at cost. Sellers who verify their Reverb shop and import their history start at 4% too. Buyers can join early access to hear when we open.
