It doesn't cost anything to opt in to Reverb Payments, and our simple straightforward fee structure can be up to 25% less than PayPal.
Buyers no longer need to leave the site to log into PayPal. Our system is secured and encrypted with around-the-clock fraud detection processes to guarantee your transaction is safe and secure. Plus, all transactions made through Reverb Payments qualify for Reverb Protection.
We’ll deposit all sales directly into your bank account in your local currency, no matter how buyers pay. Want your money even faster? Enable Reverb Bucks* and receive payouts immediately upon shipment of a sale. Plus, get a 1% discount on purchases.
You can opt in by going to your Shop Policies. You will be required to verify your identity as well as publish refund and return policies for your shop. Reverb handles all of the payment processing, fraud prevention, and chargeback risk. When payment is verified, the funds are deposited directly into your bank account. See here for details on payout timing.
Reverb Payments lets buyers around the world pay you quickly and securely, in their preferred local method, without leaving our site, leading to more sales. Most shoppers prefer the convenience and ease of paying by credit card to using PayPal. Turning on Reverb Payments also allows buyers to use Reverb Bucks and gift cards* at your store (but no worries—you'll still be paid out by direct deposit.)
It doesn't cost anything to opt into Reverb Payments. Like PayPal, fees are only charged as a percentage of the total sale after it’s made. Because of local processing regulation, fees vary by country, but in general are up to 25% less than PayPal. Preferred Sellers qualify for an even lower rate. See your country’s costs here.

Payout times vary based on existing feedback ratings, sales volume, Preferred Seller status, price of the item, and shipping destination. Read the full Reverb Payments Terms of Use for specifics.
