Choose your role
Seller Journey
From listing to payout in 8 steps
Create Account
Register free, choose Trader or Individual role. No monthly fees — ever.
Create Listing
Complete the 4-step listing wizard. AI writes your description automatically based on what you enter.
Video Verification
Record a live video of your scrap at its actual location. GPS coordinates are captured automatically.
Admin Approval
Our team reviews your listing and video within 24 hours. Once approved, your listing goes live to global buyers.
Receive Bids & Offers
International buyers bid on your auction or submit offers on fixed-price listings. You get notified in real time.
Accept the Best
Accept a bid, counter an offer, or let the auction run to its natural end. You stay in control.
Buyer Pays Securely
The buyer pays via Stripe. Funds are held in escrow — protected for both sides — until delivery is confirmed.
Get Paid
Confirm shipment, buyer confirms delivery, and your payment is released within 48 hours. 1% platform commission deducted automatically.
Built for safety at every step
We've designed every part of ScrapTrade to protect both buyers and sellers.
Video Verification
Every listing is backed by a live video recorded at the scrap location before it goes live. No video, no listing.
Stripe Escrow
Buyer funds are held by Stripe until delivery is confirmed. Neither side takes on financial risk.
GPS Proof
Live GPS coordinates are captured during the verification video, timestamped and stored against the listing.
Dispute Resolution
Disputes are mediated by our team within 5 business days. We review evidence from both sides and issue a binding decision.
