One simple fee. Nothing else.
A flat 15% selling fee covers the marketplace, payment processing, and buyer outreach and advertising. No monthly subscription, no listing fees, no hidden charges. You only pay when you sell.
For Store Owners
We personally visit and verify every store before they join.
Sifted Market is a marketplace for verified antique and vintage furniture stores, starting in Chicago. Every store is personally reviewed and visited before it joins.
Why sell on Sifted
What stores get
Your store, your rules.
You set your own return, refund, and exchange policies — no marketplace-wide mandate forcing a one-size-fits-all window on your inventory. Sifted adds a buyer-protection backstop for cases like non-delivery or items that don't match their listing, so shoppers buy with confidence and you keep control. Detailed Marketplace Policies will be shared with founding stores before launch.
Reach buyers who are already looking.
Sifted puts your storefront in front of Chicago shoppers browsing specifically for vintage and antique furniture — people who want what you sell, right when they're looking.
You just sell — the buyer handles delivery.
Buyers arrange and pay for delivery at checkout through vetted, highly insured Chicagoland delivery options. No logistics headaches on your end.
Founding advantages.
Our first 15 stores lock in the 15% founding rate — no increases as Sifted grows — plus early founding-store recognition and a hand in shaping the platform.
