If you’re interested in purchasing a specific NFT, you can join a waiting room with other customers who have also joined before the scheduled drop time.

You’ll remain in the waiting room until the drop starts and the queue opens. The time you enter the waiting room won’t affect your placement in the queue.

What is secondary market?

The secondary market is where owners of NFTs on the Marketplace can list their NFTs for sale at their desired price for other Marketplace users to purchase.

From the My NFTs page, users can choose to have their NFTs marked for sale and those NFTs will be listed on the secondary market.

Other users will be able to browse all available NFTs within the secondary market and choose to purchase based on the listed price.

As a Seller, how can I accept crypto payments?

First, you’ll need a crypto wallet that you can connect to the Marketplace. We currently support MetaMask. On the Money Wallet page, click Connect Wallet. When connected, you will see the amount of Ether in your wallet and your public key.

Next, you must fully verify your account by visiting your Money Wallet and clicking Complete Verification. Upon completion of this form, your verification will be reviewed by the marketplace’s support team and the partner, Stripe, for regulatory compliance.

All submissions are recorded and reviewed in the order they are requested, so there will be a waiting period that varies based on demand. Unless we reach out about an issue, no action is required from you.

Once the verification is complete, your Ether account will automatically show up on every NFT that you list for sale. Crypto purchases are done in a peer-to-peer manner on the Marketplace.

When a buyer purchases an NFT from you in crypto, you’ll automatically see the money show up in your account in addition to details on the transaction under the Audit section of your Money Wallet page.

Why don't I have the option to purchase every NFT on the secondary market with crypto?

The option to purchase an NFT with crypto on the secondary market is only available if the seller has a crypto wallet connected to their Marketplace account and have completed the full verification process.
