We recommend you continue messaging other sellers and frequently check for new listings.

To make the most out of our buyer protection, only pay sellers through the Escrow.com transaction created by the seller.

Do you charge a fee to the buyer?

Nope! Exchange will not charge any fee for buying a business that is listed on Exchange.

What questions should I ask the seller?

If you are looking to buy a store with existing sales, consider asking questions about that store’s traffic and sales:

How do people find out about this site? If it’s using Facebook Ads, can they provide you with information about the ads’ performance?
What are the profit margins of the products the store is selling? Are the margins stable or do they vary a lot depending on the type of marketing the store does?
If you are looking to buy a store that holds inventory. You may want to enquire about the store’s suppliers.

We have more ideas on what to ask the seller.

Where does revenue and traffic data come from?

Can my listing be featured or promoted?

Only a limited amount of listings can be featured on Exchange at a time. The stores that are featured are rotated often in order to give sellers with quality listings exposure to the thousands of buyers who use Exchange each day.

How is my store's valuation calculated?

Exchange's valuation tool recommends a selling price by taking into account a number of factors, including your store's lifetime revenue, traffic, and other features like social media followers or email subscribers. Stores that have features that are proven to sell are valued higher by our valuation tool.

Only whitelisted sales are accounted for in this calculation. These are sales that Exchange is able to verify, for a full list of whitelisted channels see here.

How do I find a buyer quickly?

Yes! You should start by creating a detailed description for your listing with as much information about your business as possible. Here are some ideas on what to include:
