Used equipment policies
As a courtesy to the local badminton community, we list used badminton equipment for sale by its owners. Here's how it works.
For buyers
We will never facilitate or collect money for a used equipment sale. It's the buyer's responsibility to contact the seller and make sure the item is as described before paying for it. Sunset Badminton will never be an intermediary for a used item's inspection, payment, dispute or refund.
For sellers
All used equipment is listed in the Used gear category of our shop. To have your equipment listed, fill in this Google Form so we have the information we need. Once your equipment is approved, we'll reach out for a few well-lit photos and then list it for you.
We list used products at our own discretion. Items stay listed until they sell or you ask us to take them down, but we may remove any item at any time for any reason. Your contact information goes in the item's description so buyers can reach you. Beyond that, we aren't involved in the sale: buyer and seller arrange payment and hand-off themselves. Please let us know when your item sells so we can remove it.
How it works
- Apply. Submit the Google Form application with the equipment details and a brief, well-written description of the item and its condition. We'll reach out to gather photos and ask any other questions.
- Listing fee. Sellers pay a 10% listing fee, based on the selling price, before the item is listed. It covers the publicity and our work listing your item, and it's non-refundable whether or not the item sells. The item stays in our store until it sells, you ask us to stop listing it, or we close the store.
- A buyer "buys" it for $0. An interested buyer checks out with your item in our store for $0 and is automatically sent your contact information (name, email and, optionally, phone). It's then up to them to reach out to you to complete the sale.
- Once claimed, it's off the market. After a buyer checks out with your item, no one else can buy it. If the buyer backs out, it's the seller's responsibility to tell us to re-list it. There's no fee for re-listing.
- You handle the sale. The seller and buyer are 100% responsible for arranging payment and handing over the item. We only provide the seller's contact information and don't handle any money or products. We aren't responsible for disputes or returns, and we offer no guarantees to either party beyond the listing service described here.
