If a buyer gets in touch to let you know they’ve had a problem, there are best practices to keep in mind while working with them to resolve their issue.
- Set proper expectations for the buyer: make sure your listing title and product descriptions are accurate, and include plenty of photos, making sure to highlight any flaws.
- Provide as many product specifics as you can so the buyer knows exactly what they’re purchasing.

When you list and sell products on Boleum Marketplace, we charge selling fees. There are two main types of selling fees: an insertion fee when you create a listing, and a final value fee when your item sells.
The amount we charge depends on the seller package with the product sold, product pro(25%), product premium(15%) and product platinum(11%)
Your Boleum Marketplace account balance shows the current balance of any fees from your recent selling activity. It also shows any past due amounts.
If your product doesn’t sell, or if there was an issue with the transaction that you resolved, we do not charge you for any of them until your product is shipped.
Completing a Sale
After you’ve made a sale on Boleum Marketplace, it’s usually a smooth process to complete the transaction with the buyer, but sometimes you might find yourself in a situation where the buyer hasn’t yet paid for the item they bought. If that happens, you should contact the buyer to try to resolve the issue. We’re always here to step in and help if needed.
If you can’t complete a sale with a buyer, if, for example, the item is damaged, you have fewer items in stock than you thought, or the buyer purchased the item using the wrong shipping address you can cancel the transaction and re-order.
