Anubis Market Vendor Guide - How to Sell

Opening a shop transforms your account from a consumer endpoint into a commercial hub. You become responsible for inventory management, accurate descriptions, and responsive customer interaction. The barrier to entry is moderate, requiring technical preparation alongside financial commitment to cover initial stock costs.

New vendors face scrutiny because they lack historical reputation. Building trust takes consistent performance over several months. Understanding the mechanical aspects of sales upfront prevents costly mistakes that damage your profile permanently and hinder growth potential in the competitive marketplace environment.

Requirements

• An active account registered for at least seven days prior to application.
• Two factor authentication enabled using TOTP or PGP methods.
• A validated PGP public key uploaded to your profile page.
• Verified vouch from an existing trusted member or sufficient positive feedback history.
• Initial capital available to list inventory without tying up all personal funds.

Commission and fees

The platform charges five percent on completed sales as its operational commission. Additionally, withdrawing earnings incurs a one percent network and processing fee. A sale of 100 USD results in 95 USD gross revenue before withdrawal costs. Calculating net profit accurately requires deducting both percentages from your projected income figures.

Budget for these fixed cuts when setting prices. Underpricing to compete often leads to thin margins that vanish after fees. Price competitively based on market average minus your target margin plus the 6% combined deduction rate. This keeps your bottom line predictable regardless of volume fluctuations.

Escrow obligations

Once an order confirms, funds sit in escrow until delivery standards are met. Physical items must ship within the promised timeframe stated in your listing. Digital files must download reliably within the specified window. Failure to meet these benchmarks initiates automatic dispute proceedings managed by the administration team rather than the buyer directly.

Missed deadlines result in forced refunds or partial payouts determined by the mediator. Repeated violations lower your store ranking algorithmically, reducing visibility in search results. Consistent punctuality builds a reliable track record that attracts repeat customers seeking certainty over bargain hunting.

Your first month

Expect slow traction initially. Your store lacks social proof, so conversion rates remain low despite competitive pricing. Focus on delivering flawless service to early adopters. Encourage satisfied customers to leave detailed reviews highlighting your responsiveness and packing quality. Each positive comment compounds your credibility score in the backend algorithms.

Monitor your inbox closely during this phase. Respond to inquiries within hours rather than days. Speed signals professionalism. As your review count grows past fifty, your store begins appearing higher in organic search results. This natural traffic increase reduces dependence on paid advertising options offered internally.

When selling is not for you

Dispute resolution consumes emotional energy and time. If you hate arguing or analyzing fine print, managing conflicts will drain your motivation quickly. Sellers thrive when they enjoy detail-oriented problem solving. If your inventory is small and irregular, the overhead of maintaining a shop may exceed the profits generated per unit sold. Stick to buying if variety is lacking.
