Provision of Services:

Textchange (further to also to referred to as the “website”, “site”, “platform”) acts as an internet intermediary marketplace, defined as services that bring together or facilitate transactions between third parties on the internet. Thereto, Textchange solely provides the infrastructure to facilitating the buying and selling of products by the site’s users, and does not at any point take ownership or otherwise interact (including as a publisher) with user postings.

  • Seller agrees to pay a fee in the form of a commission
  • Buyer agrees to pay a service fee as indicated at checkout as well as any other costs (e.g. shipping) indicated at checkout.
Avoiding Textchange’s fees is not allowed, whether intentional or not. Sellers attempting to avoid the Site’s fees create risk for themselves, and a poor experience for buyers. Examples of avoiding fees includes making offers to buy or sell outside of eBay, requiring the buyer to make additional purchases, or charging excessive shipping fees.
