How buying, selling, grading, shipping, and payouts work on WAXED. For anything else, support answers.
Every listing is graded on the Goldmine Grading standard — Mint, Near Mint, VG+, VG, Good+, Good, Fair, Poor — with media and sleeve graded separately. Grades are set by the seller; every completed order can be reviewed, and those reviews build the seller's public rating.
The listed price, the seller's shipping rate, and sales tax where it applies. There is no buyer fee.
Major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Payment runs through Stripe.
Stores and sellers ship their own orders. Rates are set by the seller — a flat rate by region, or carrier-calculated at checkout. Some offer free shipping above a threshold they choose. Tracking posts to your order page as the carrier scans it.
Seller's choice, set per region. If a listing shows a rate to your country, they ship there. Import duties and customs fees, where they apply, are yours — they're charged by your country, not by WAXED or the seller.
There's no cancel button — message the seller from the order page. Cancellation is at the seller's discretion.
Work it out with the seller directly — all communication happens on the order page. WAXED can't mediate condition or shipment disputes; we never handle the record and don't control how it ships. If you and the seller can't reach a resolution, the dispute can be escalated to the payment provider associated with the order. Support we can offer after 60 days is likely to be very limited.
Stores and individual sellers with public storefronts. Each seller carries a rating out of five, built only from post-purchase reviews.
Yes — one checkout covers everything in your cart. Shipping is charged per seller at each seller's stated rate, since each ships their own orders, and each seller's records arrive as a separate order.
Collectors and businesses both — same access, same tools. Onboarding sets up your storefront, payouts, and inventory in one pass. Access opens in waves; the waitlist goes first.
No listing fees, no monthly fee. WAXED takes a flat 8% of the item price only — no WAXED fee is ever applied to shipping. Card processing (2.9% + 30¢) is charged by the payment processor, is not part of WAXED's 8%, and is netted from the same payout.
Payouts run through Stripe. You connect a bank account during onboarding, proceeds from each sale accumulate to your balance, and you can pay out any amount over $10.
Search the catalog of over 19 million releases, match your copy to the correct pressing, and set your grade and price. You can add seller notes and photos of your actual copy for additional detail. If a pressing isn't in the catalog, you can submit it.
Most releases carry pricing data built from real sold prices. Use it as a reference point — the price you set is ultimately your choice.
Yes. Connect your Discogs account from the Integrations page in Settings, or from the Integrations button in Library. One click imports your entire Discogs listings and collection — fully detailed, in seconds. CSV import works too.
Square, Discogs, and CSV all sync in and out — and you can fulfill your Square and Discogs orders directly within WAXED. Sell in the shop, sell online, keep one inventory.
Counterfeits and unofficial pressings passed off as official. Bootlegs must be listed as what they are. Listings that misrepresent get pulled, and listing them is subject to suspension or a ban from the platform.
No. The 8% applies only when something sells online through WAXED. Sales rung up in your shop are yours — no WAXED fee.
WAXED collects and remits sales tax on orders where marketplace facilitator laws apply. Income reporting is yours; sellers who cross IRS thresholds get the required tax forms through Stripe.
A marketplace and operating system for vinyl record sellers and collectors. Buy from stores and sellers worldwide, sell from your collection, and manage inventory with tools built for how records actually move.
Vinyl, CDs, and cassettes.
Shoppable, curated selections — anything from a bulk pick of records to entire crates to whole collections, listed as one set and browsed as one set on your storefront and the marketplace.

Yes. Artist and label pages can be claimed and verified — through Instagram, an email on your domain, or documentation. Once approved you manage the page and what it shows, and can post your own listings or collection to offer or showcase there.
Yes. The collection manager stands on its own — catalog what you own, watch its value move, and see where each record sits on our rarity scale. List something only if you ever feel like it.
