How do I buy equipment?

Browse Equipment for sale, open a listing and send an inquiry. You must be logged in. The seller replies in Messages under My Account. Inspection, shipping and payment are arranged between you and the seller. QuipMan is the venue, not a party to the sale.

How do I sell equipment?

Use Sell Now. Choose a listing type and package, then fill in the form. The listing is saved as a draft and you get a preview. Submitting from the preview uses 1 publish credit. If you have no credits left, you go to checkout. Listings go live only after an admin approves them.

Each live listing stays public for 90 days after approval, then it expires. You can take a live listing offline yourself. To put an offline or expired listing back on the site, use Republish — it goes to review again.

Packages and credits

• Basic ($25) — 1 listing credit.
• Advanced ($100) — 5 listing credits.
• Premium ($12,000 / 365 days) — annual membership with publish credits (default 1,000), plus 1 Featured credit, plus CSV bulk import.
• Featured ($300) — extra promoted placement, arranged offline with sales. It is not sold as a self-serve checkout.

Submitting a draft from the preview page, or republishing, uses 1 credit. A rejected listing can be edited and submitted again without using another credit. After an order is paid or confirmed by admin, rights appear under Seller Center → Entitlements.

What is Featured?

Featured listings show first in category and search results. You can apply a Featured credit only to a live listing, and only while Premium is active. When Premium ends, Featured placement is removed automatically.

Photos and video

Listings accept images plus short videos (mp4 / webm / mov). Keep files under 80 MB. The server may reject a larger file even if the form accepts it. If a file is skipped, the save message explains why.

Want to Buy

Post what you are looking for on Want to Buy. Sellers with a merchant account can open a conversation from that board. Your request also appears under My Account → Inquiries.

Listing status

• Draft / Pending review / Approved / Rejected — audit state.
• Live — public on the site.
• Offline — you took it down.
• Expired — the 90-day window ended.

CSV bulk import

Sellers with an active Premium (annual) membership can upload a CSV of listings from Seller Center → CSV Import. Basic / Advanced plans cannot. Download the template first. Category must match a category name on the site. Photos are added after import. Rows start as drafts unless you choose submit-for-review; they still need admin approval.
