Photos

Required: front flat, back flat, selvedge ID, any flaws shown clearly. Recommended: hardware, label, full flat lay. Natural light, neutral background, no filters. Photograph every angle and show wear, fading, repairs, or alterations honestly — buyers who know exactly what they're getting come back, and accurate photos are your best protection if a dispute ever arises.

  • New: Unworn
  • Like New: Worn once or twice, no visible wear
  • Light Wear: Fading beginning, no flaws
  • Faded: Visible wear patterns, minor flaws acceptable
  • Heavily Worn: Significant fading, repairs, or wear — list all flaws clearly

Shipping

Ship with tracking and get your tracking number into the dashboard within 7 days of the order being placed. Orders of $500 or above require signature confirmation — it's the simplest way to protect yourself from a non-delivery claim. Late or missing tracking hurts both you and the buyer if something goes wrong.

Fees

Slow Fades charges 10% on each completed sale. Payment processing fees are deducted from your payout at the time of settlement — typically 2.9% + $0.30 for domestic transactions, slightly higher for international cards. No listing fees.

Payouts

Payouts are held for 5 days after confirmed delivery, matching our dispute window. Once that clears with no disputes, your payout is released.

Off-Platform Transactions

You're welcome to list elsewhere simultaneously. What's not permitted is redirecting a buyer who found your item on Slow Fades to purchase it somewhere else. Violations result in permanent removal and forfeiture of pending payouts. Our messaging system automatically filters contact information to keep transactions on-platform.

Photo License

By listing on Slow Fades, you grant us a non-exclusive license to use your listing photos for promotional purposes including social media. This is free promotion for your listing.

International Sellers

Payouts are in USD via PayPal or Wise. All shipments are DDU — buyers are responsible for duties and taxes in their country. Use tracked shipping, declare accurate customs values, and factor shipping costs into your pricing.
