Unbuilt Seller Terms

 

Seller Agreement v3.7

September 06, 2025

This agreement specifies how you and Unbuilt will work together to sell your items. These items are listed in the Items tab of our Seller Portal (using the menu above if applicable).

Right to Sell

You certify that you own the items, or that you have the right to sell them. You grant Unbuilt the non-exclusive right to sell the items on your behalf in physical and online sales channels belonging to Unbuilt and our partners.

Location of Items

While items are listed for sale they may either be stored at a local Unbuilt facility, or at your location, depending on our arrangement.

Seller Share

You’ll receive a share of the Net Proceeds from the sale of your item(s). This share may be negotiated at the time of your engagement, and may be adjusted in certain scenarios but will generally be:

  • 50% for items stored at and fulfilled by Unbuilt
  • 75% for Items stored at your Location

High value items (over $5,000 retail value) from select brands may be eligible for additional seller share percentage. Contact us to learn more.

Net Proceeds

Net Proceeds are calculated as the Gross Proceeds (total amount paid by Buyer) minus transaction charges, including listing fees, sales commissions and promotion charges from 3rd party partners (e.g. eBay, Amazon, Shopify, Google) as well as payment processing fees and additional shipping charges not covered by the buyer. Net Proceeds are typically 10 to 15% lower than Gross Proceeds.

Payments

Funds will accrue to your Seller Payout Account after an item is sold, is received by the buyer, and after a 30-day period during which the buyer may initiate a product return. Revenue that accrues to you in a given month will be paid in a lump sum within 2 weeks of the end of that month, via check or online payment.

Logistics Charges

Unless mutually agreed, Unbuilt will never bill you for services associated with your items. However, deductions may be applied to your accrued Seller Share earnings to cover costs of Labor, Materials and Equipment for items or sales with logistics requirements. These deductions may include:

  • Re-Packaging: Labor and packing supply cost for re-boxing or crating items to ensure safe shipping.
  • Item Pick-up: Labor and equipment charges incurred to pick-up items. Fee may be waived for qualifying lots.
  • Large Heavy Items: 10% deduction to Seller Share for items over 350 pounds or 18 cubic feet. Typically applies to items like Tile, Lumber, Flooring and large Door Systems.
  • Long-term Storage: Most items are stored free of charge, but in special circumstances, a deduction will accrue of $.50 per cubic foot of required storage space per month.

Flexible Pricing

Unbuilt will set prices for the Items at its discretion based on informed judgement about market demand. You understand that this price level may be significantly lower than original retail price. Unbuilt may also reduce pricing to encourage customer interest if an item has not sold during a given period of time.

Reclaiming or Cancelling

You may cancel this agreement in full, or as it pertains to an individual item(s) at any time before the item(s) is sold. If your items are stored at Unbuilt and you wish to reclaim them, you must notify us to arrange a pick-up.

Unsold Items

Most Items sell on Unbuilt within 3-6 months. However Unbuilt may request that some items be cancelled from this agreement if they are determined to be unlikely to sell after a prolonged period. In this case, if an Item is stored at Unbuilt premises, you will have the option to pick up the item, or to ask that it be liquidated or donated. In either case, no disposal or removal cost will accrue to you.

Losing Contact & Abandonment

It’s important to keep your contact details up to date and respond to our requests regarding your items and payments. If we lose contact with you, or you are unresponsive to our communications, it may adversely impact your earnings:

Reissued Checks – If your payment is lost, we’ll need to cancel it, get your corrected address, void the check and re-issue a new payment. A bank charge of $30 and a processing fee of $50 will be deducted from outstanding earnings.

Abandoned Inventory – If we are unable to contact you for a period of six (6) months, despite making reasonable efforts using the most recent contact information on file, any Inventory remaining with Unbuilt will be deemed abandoned. Upon abandonment:

  • Title to the Inventory will transfer to Unbuilt;
  • Unbuilt may donate, liquidate, scrap, recycle, sell, or otherwise dispose of the Inventory in its discretion;
  • Unbuilt may apply reasonable storage fees for the period during which Inventory remained in our possession prior to abandonment, deducting such fees from any amounts that might otherwise have been payable to you; and
  • You waive any claim to proceeds from the subsequent sale of the Inventory, and Unbuilt shall have no further obligation to account to you for such Inventory.

Loss & Damage

Unfortunately, property insurance generally provides compensation only to property owners. Since you continue to own your property while it is in our possession, we recommend ensuring that your insurance coverage extends to property located temporarily outside of your primary premises. While loss or damage to items is rare, and we do our best to compensate partners for the estimated potential Seller Share, due to these insurance restrictions, we are unable to guarantee compensation beyond $1,200 total lost value per consignor.

Authenticity & Condition

You certify that the items are authentic to the best of your knowledge, and you understand that intentionally selling items that you know are, or suspect to be counterfeit is a crime. In addition, you attest that you have inspected any items submitted for sale, and have accurately disclosed any information that you have regarding the condition of the items, including damage, presence of dirt or debris, missing parts or functional issues that could reasonably be considered pertinent to a prospective buyer.

Updates to the Terms

To meet changing business demands, we reserve the right to modify this agreement from time to time in the future. We will make reasonable efforts to inform you of these changes, and we welcome your feedback or questions about updated terms. It is important that you stay informed by reading notifications or reviewing this agreement from time to time, as your continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of the updated terms once they are posted.
