Work and goods, in the loop — sold.
A marketplace that works both ways: order a fixed-price package instantly, or post a job and take proposals. One profile, one flat fee, and the complaints people have about the big platforms designed out from day one.
How it's different
The rules are the product. They're printed, not promised.
One flat 10% fee
From the seller's side only. $0 buyer service fee, and the fee is never charged on tax or shipping. The price shown is the price paid.
Applying is always free
No credits, no paid bids, no pay-to-rank. Sellers get a fair monthly proposal cap instead of a toll booth.
Funded before it's visible
A job post doesn't exist publicly until the buyer's payment is verified and the first milestone is funded. Scam posts have nothing to scam with.
No silent bans
Any enforcement action states the rule and the evidence, and opens a 7-day human appeal. Money already earned still pays out.
Paid in 3 days
Payout lands 3 days after the buyer accepts — not 14. The schedule is in the terms, never a surprise.
Categories
Launch niche: digital services for small businesses, small towns, and trades.
Packages
Founding seller first — plus a few clearly-labeled demo examples.
Sell goods too — on the same account.
Now live in the demo: parts & equipment, tools, and local-pickup finds. Buy It Now or auction, seller's choice — and the same rule as services: one flat 10%, never on tax or shipping. Your service reviews and your goods sales live on one profile.
CrossTrade Contracting
A real, working contractor and web builder. New to LoopSold — so there's no review history here yet, and we won't invent any. The proof is the live work in the portfolio below.

Same profile, same standing: CrossTrade also sells parts and tools in the goods wing. One reputation, both wings.
Seller standing
Three public numbers. That's the whole system.
How standing works for everyone
- On-time % — deliveries on or before the promised date ÷ all deliveries.
- Repeat-buyer % — buyers who ordered again ÷ all buyers.
- Review average — the plain mean of public reviews. Sellers can respond to any review, publicly.

Fund the order
Your payment is held by the platform's payment flow and only releases when you accept the delivery. The seller can't touch it before then — and can't be stiffed after.
What just happened
- The funded money released from escrow-style holding.
- LoopSold's 10% came out of the seller's side — the buyer paid exactly the listed price.
- The seller's payout lands 3 days after acceptance. Not 14.
- Both sides can now leave a public review — and the seller can respond to theirs.
Goods — parts, tools & local finds
The goods wing, on the same accounts and review history as services. Buy It Now or auction — seller's choice. The fee rule doesn't change over here: one flat 10% on the item price only — never on tax, never on shipping, and no paid placement in results, ever.
Founding seller's goods first — plus clearly-labeled demo listings.
Goods rules, printed
10% of the item price
That's the whole fee. Never on shipping, never on sales tax — the two places the big sites quietly pad it.
The seller's policy is the policy
Whatever return terms the listing states are what happens. A refund without the item coming back takes the seller's agreement or a human dispute ruling.
One order at a time
A dispute holds that order's money — never the seller's whole balance or other payouts.
Local pickup, confirmed in person
Big items skip shipping entirely. Buyer and seller confirm the handoff in the app, and only then does the payout clock start.
Demo photos — labeled placeholders stand in for seller photos in this demo. The live product carries up to 12 real photos per listing.
About this item
Details
Seller
Sell an item
List a part, a tool, or a local-pickup find. No listing fee, no promoted-placement upsell — the platform earns its 10% only when your item sells, and only on the item price.
Listing details
In this demo, listings use a labeled placeholder photo. In the live product you upload up to 12 photos — the first one is the cover.
If it sells — your fee preview
Auctions: the fee is figured on the final bid, same 10%, item price only. Payout lands 3 days after the buyer confirms delivery — or after the in-person pickup handoff is confirmed.
Before it can pay out
- Identity verified — sellers verify once, before their first payout. That's what keeps scam listings scarce.
- New-seller limits — listing caps start modest and grow with your sales history, openly.
- Your return policy is yours — state it on the listing; it won't be overridden after the sale.
Post a job
The other way to buy: describe the work, take proposals. Applying is free for sellers — and under Rule 03, your post stays invisible until it's funded. That one rule is what keeps scam posts off the platform.
Job details
🔒 Invisible to sellers
Drafts and unfunded posts appear in zero search results. No seller can see it, apply to it, or waste time on it. This is the state your post is in right now.
🌐 Public — sellers can apply
Once the first milestone is funded and your payment method is verified, this flips live: it appears in search, and sellers may apply — free, always.
Admin — review queue
Demo view of the operator's side: new sellers and job posts get a quick human look, and disputes run on a published clock. Demo data only.

Open dispute — demo
Order #LS-1042 · Buyer says the delivered logo files are low-resolution; seller says print-ready files were sent. Both sides' evidence is in the thread.
Day 2 of 5 business days — a human decides by the end of day 5, with written reasons to both sides. Only this order's funds are held; the seller's other payouts are untouched.
Enforcement, the LoopSold way
- No silent bans — every action states the rule and the evidence.
- 7-day human appeal on every enforcement action.
- Earned money pays out even if an account is closed, short of proven fraud.
- Holds touch one order only — never a seller's whole balance.
