One of the best online marketplaces for those interested in all kinds of new, used and vintage collectable music equipment. Started in 2013, it now has over 10 million hits to the site each month, with in excess of half a million items listed for sale, from individual sellers, music stores and even major artists.
The largest stock and customer base is in the USA but deliveries are worldwide, with hubs in Holland, Australia, France, Germany, UK and Japan. Apps are available on iOS & Android, so these guys have covered all bases.
Listed inventory includes:
- Guitars
- Basses
- Drums
- Synths
- DJ Gear
- Lighting Rigs
- Digital Audio Software
and much more!
The variety of music gear available is quite staggering, far outselling similar sites like Ebay and
Amazon. So let’s take a look at how it works.
As A Reverb.com Seller.
Setting up an account and listing items is very straightforward and FREE.
Commission to Reverb is 3.5% of the sale price, plus PayPal charges and money will be deposited directly into your bank account following completion.
Shipping
The website has an in-depth Shipping information section, which is a definite plus point. They clearly recognise that there is no point selling this stuff if it can’t be shipped safely and securely. They recommend and have affiliation with:
- UPS
- DHL
- USPS (for both domestic and International services)
Plenty of options including a recently introduced a “Safe Shipping” service and label creator, with a delivery estimator, favourable rates and levels of cover, like damage and signature insurance for the full value of the item.
They can also verify the buyer’s info and secure the funds prior to sending you a shipping release message. The goods must then be sent within 3 days, to avoid repercussions from the buyer. Great piece of mind for high value items, in my opinion. And believe me, there are some truly awesome, high value items on sale here. It’s a musician’s Aladdin’s Cave!!
Want to become a Reverb.com affiliate?
Did you know that you can earn commissions by promoting Reverb and referring customers to the site?
To become an affiliate, it’s very straightforward. Simply visit Partnerstack, who run the program, register, get your link and start promoting.
Approval is instant, so you don’t have to jump through hoops like for other programs like Amazon, CJ.com, Shareasale, Maxbounty, etc. You are also free to advertise through Twitter, Linkedin, email, Instagram, without problems. Many other platforms are much stricter about this.
Commission rates are as follows:
- 10% on digital product sales
- 1% on general sales. (Doesn’t sound much? Well the traffic is huge, so it soon mounts up!)
Plus these bonuses:
- $5 for new sellers
- $5 for new buyers
- $1 for new signups
Plenty of incentive and a nice lump of passive income to help fund your Music Gear Habit!
You get paid via PayPal every 30 days, and in my experience, this is very consistent. That also can’t be said for many other affiliate marketing platforms.
