  • Email us with a list of 10 items you have for sale, including title, price, and age
  • If your catalogue fits our profile, we will create a temporary, non-public store for you to submit a detailed listing which would include description, shipping dimensions and weight, and photographs. You must provide a clear image on white background as your lead photograph for the item.

    This step allows us to evaluate your sample catalogue in context.

How it works

When a customer pays for purchases from the website, 1 Antiques collects the payment and sends the vendor an email indicating that 1 or more items require shipment.

When you have shipped the product, enter the carrier tracking number in your vendor console. When the carrier acknowledges posession of the shipment, we will make payment to you, minus 5% commission to 1 Antiques, on the following business day. The payment is sent to your 1 Antiques merchant account. From there you can withdraw funds.

1 Antiques also collects sales tax and remits it to the proper taxing authority.

Please respond to customer and shopper inquiries promptly.
