Questions shops ask
For shops — FAQ
What does it cost a pipe shop to sell on The Briar Lounge?
Listing is free — unlimited pipes, forever. We charge a flat 5% only when a card sale completes through our Stripe checkout; direct-arranged sales cost nothing. Buyers pay the exact listed price, with no buyer fees. Compare that to ~13–15% on eBay or Etsy plus listing fees.
How do collectors find my shop's pipes?
Your pipes appear in the live feed, the marketplace, maker and country pages, and Google-indexed listing pages with structured data. New listings can also be emailed to our collector list and shop network at no cost.
Can my shop run auctions?
Yes — hybrid Buy-Now + auction listings with reserves and anti-snipe windows are built in, free.
