Sell them. Swap them.
Either way it's safe.

You bought the variety box. Half of it's gone and the rest is sitting in the drawer. Sell what you're not drinking, or trade it straight across for the one you can't keep in stock. We hold the money and print the labels so nobody has to trust a stranger.

Nobody has to go first

Same three steps whether it's a sale or a trade. Nobody gets paid early and nobody ships into thin air.

1

The money parks with us

On a sale the buyer's card gets charged and it sits with us — the seller can see it's there, they just can't touch it. On a trade there's no cash at all, so both sides just have to actually mail the thing.

2

We send the label

Postage gets paid at checkout and the label lands in your inbox. You print it, stick it on, drop it off. Tracking is automatic because the label comes through us. On a trade you each buy your own, so postage splits down the middle. Nothing scans in three days and it cancels itself.

3

It lands, then it pays

Tracking says delivered, there's 72 hours to open the box. Nothing wrong and the money moves to the seller. Something wrong and we refund it out of what we're still holding.

What you can and can't list

Not suggestions. The listing form won't let you past them, and anything that slips through gets pulled.

Goes up fine

  • Sealed, unopened packets in the original wrapper Straight out of the box, never touched
  • Expiration date typed in and showing in your photo 60 days of shelf life left, minimum
  • A real photo you took yourself Stock images get the listing pulled
  • One stick or three hundred Sell it, swap it, or leave it open to both

Gets pulled

  • Anything opened, resealed, or repackaged No baggies, no scooping, no splitting into your own containers
  • Expired stock or anything close to the date Listings auto-pull at 30 days out
  • Homemade mixes or anything we didn't make The Loaded Teashop™ product only
  • Selling under a dollar a stick Above that the price is yours — trades have no price at all

What we charge, and why

No listing charge, no monthly anything, no mystery math. Enough to cover the card processing and keep the site running. That's the whole idea.

8%

When you sell

On anything under 25 sticks. Bigger lots step up to 10, 12 and 15% — if you're moving a case, you're running a business. Buyer pays postage at checkout.

$2.49

When you swap

Each side pays it on a small trade, since there's no sale to take a cut of. Scales with the size of your bundle. You each buy your own postage, so it splits down the middle.

Post as much as you want, leave it up, take it down. If nothing moves, it never cost you anything.

Questions people ask

When do I actually get paid?

Three days after it's delivered, unless the buyer confirms sooner, which most of them do. It lands in your balance and you can cash out any time after that. Five dollar minimum.

What if the buyer says it never showed up?

That's what tracking is for. If the carrier scanned it delivered to their address, the sale stands. If it genuinely got lost in transit, the buyer gets refunded and neither of you takes a strike.

What if what shows up isn't what was listed?

Buyer has 72 hours from delivery to flag it with photos. Most of it sorts itself out — the money's still sitting with us, so we can just refund it. Sellers who keep getting flagged lose the ability to list.

Why do you need the expiration date?

It's the one thing that settles an argument. Date on the packet matches the date on the listing, everybody knows exactly what they got. It also keeps old stock from floating around the site forever.

How does a trade actually work?

You tag what you're hunting, somebody holding it offers a trade, and if you both say yes you each grab a label. Neither of you ships first — you just both ship. When both packages land, the trade's done.

Why does the fee go up on bigger listings?

Because a shop clearing 300 sticks and somebody offloading six spares aren't doing the same thing. Under 25 sticks it's 8%. From there it's 10% to 99, 12% to 249, and 15% above that. Most people never leave the first bracket.

Why is there a fee on a trade if no money changes hands?

Because the site still costs money to run and there's no sale to take a percentage of. $2.49 a side covers the processing and keeps the lights on. Postage is separate and you each buy your own, which is the fairest way to split it without one of you fronting the other.
