Common Questions
Is it really free?
Yes, Meta Reef does not charge listing fees.
How do payments work?
You handle payment directly with buyers using your preferred method, such as PayPal, Zelle, cash, or via your website. Meta Reef does not process payments.
Do I need a business license to sell?
You don’t need a business license to create an account or list corals on Meta Reef. However, sellers are responsible for following local laws and regulations based on their location and sales activity.
Can I sell livestock besides corals?
Yes! Meta Reef is always evolving - additional invertebrates, fish, equipment, and more are on the way. If there’s something you’d like to see added, reach out and let us know.
How does website sync work for stores?
If you already have an online store, Meta Reef can sync your coral listings and keep them updated automatically. Contact us with your website URL to discuss setup options.
What if a buyer doesn't follow through?
Because you control payment and shipping, you’re never obligated to ship until payment is confirmed. If you experience issues with a buyer, you can leave a buyer review and report them through the platform.
Can I offer local pickup only?
Absolutely. You can specify local pickup only, shipping only, or offer both options. Many sellers prefer local pickup to avoid shipping headaches.
How do I get more visibility for my listings?
Use clear photos, accurate coral names, and detailed descriptions. Complete listings tend to receive more views and buyer interest, both on Meta Reef and through search engines.
