Seller Payout Information

SeafoodNearMe connects buyers and sellers directly. For most transactions, payment happens face-to-face at pickup — you keep every dollar.

Accepted Payment Methods

  • Cash
  • Venmo, CashApp, and Zelle
  • Checks (personal arrangement)

Fees

  • In-person sales: No platform fee. You keep 100%.
  • Online reservations: flat $4.99 reservation fee — paid by the buyer, not the seller. Ordinary card processing cost is deducted from your payout on prepaid orders only.
  • Featured listings: Optional. $5 per listing to appear at the top of search results.

Tips for Maximizing Earnings

  • Price competitively based on current market rates and your catch quality.
  • Offer bundle deals to increase average order size.
  • Confirm payment method with buyers before pickup to avoid surprises.
  • Keep records of your sales for tax purposes — sellers are responsible for reporting income.
