How it works

Loading film…

Post what you want. The right people find you.

ISO is a reverse marketplace. You post exactly what you're looking for, and vetted finders, resellers, and private collectors bring their inventory to you. Posting is always free. When a sale closes through ISO, the buyer pays a simple 7% platform fee on top of the agreed price. The seller keeps the full offer. Native checkout is still rolling out, so a beta accept records the match without charging a card.

1. Post your search

Name the item, set the budget, and ISO broadcasts it. Posting is always free.

2. Signal sent

Finders, resellers, and private collectors see your ISO and check their inventory.

3. Direct DM

Sellers message you on ISO with photos, provenance, and price. Don't have the item? Share the ISO with someone who might — every forward extends the reach.

4. Verify & trust

Check the seller profile, proof images, condition, price, and conversation before you accept. Paid authentication and concierge sourcing are on the roadmap.

5. Accept the offer

Buyers pay a simple 7% platform fee per sale, on top of the agreed price. Sellers keep the full offer. Until checkout is live, accepting records the match — ISO does not charge a card or hold funds yet.

Disclaimer of Liability

ISO is a demand-led marketplace that connects buyers and sellers. The platform fee is a simple 7% paid by the buyer per sale, collected when checkout is live. During beta, ISO does NOT process payments, hold funds, or collect that fee yet. An accepted beta offer records the match, not a completed purchase or protected order. We are NOT responsible for:

  • Payments or transfers between buyers and sellers
  • Mediation or dispute resolution
  • Shipping, logistics, or customs
  • Authentication of goods
  • Chargebacks or refunds on third-party rails
  • Escrow arrangements between buyers and sellers

Community standards

An ISO post should reflect good-faith intent to buy within the budget and details you list. You're asking finders and sellers to spend real time on your search. Repeated bad-faith behavior — for example, listings you don't intend to follow through on, or routinely ghosting finders after you've engaged — hurts the community. We may issue warnings, restrict features, or suspend accounts for a pattern of abuse. Detailed rules live in Protection & Safety and our Terms of Service.
