How CopiT Pricing Works
One flat, transparent model across the whole platform:
โ€ข
Sellers โ€” 5% (min $1) transaction fee on every sale (OfferUp charges 8โ€“12%, Mercari 10%). Sell a $100 item, keep $95.
โ€ข
Driver delivery โ€” buyers pay $6.99 base + $0.50/mile. Drivers keep $5.00 base + 100% of the miles + 100% of tips; CopiT takes a flat $1.99, never a cut of miles or tips.
โ€ข
Ad revenue โ€” Premium shops keep 90% of every ad dollar (YouTube pays 55%). CopiT keeps 10%.

๐Ÿ
Getting Started โ€” BUY & SELL
CopiT is two apps in one, split right from the home screen:
โ€ข
BUY (top-left) โ€” browse listings, make offers, and get items shipped or meet locally.
โ€ข
SELL (bottom-right) โ€” list items with AI help, haggle with buyers, and run your own shop.
The CopiT logo sits at the centre of the eclipse โ€” tap BUY or SELL to enter either side. You can switch sides anytime from the home button in any header.
Selling requires a quick profile (photo + ID + username). Browsing needs nothing at all.
๐Ÿ›
Buying Items
The BUY feed shows one listing at a time โ€” swipe up for the next. Two tabs at the top filter how you receive items:
โ€ข
๐Ÿค LOCAL PICKUP โ€” meet the seller in person. No shipping fees.
โ€ข
๐Ÿ“ฆ DELIVERY โ€” shipped to your address with tracking.
On any listing you have two moves:
BUY NOW ยท $120
MAKE OFFER
โ€ข
BUY NOW takes the asking price straight to checkout.
โ€ข
MAKE OFFER starts a haggle (next section).
Tap the ๐Ÿ—ƒ chest icon to stash a listing for later, or ๐Ÿฉท to follow the seller. After an order arrives, you can leave a โ˜… review โ€” half-stars included โ€” and edit or delete it anytime.
๐Ÿ’ฐ
Haggling โ€” Offers & COPPED
Real example, start to finish:
โ€ข
Tap MAKE OFFER on a $150 listing and enter $120 on the keypad.
โ€ข
The seller can accept, counter (say, $135), or decline.
โ€ข
You counter back or accept. When both sides agree on the same number โ€”
COPPED
That's the deal-sealed celebration. From there you pay securely and arrange pickup or shipping.
All your negotiations live in the ๐Ÿ’ฐ Haggle tab: Active Negotiations you can still act on, and Completed Deals which are read-only history โ€” no double-checkout possible.
๐Ÿค
Meetups, Delivery & Receiving
Local pickup: after a deal, pick a date, time, and public meetup spot. Confirm when you arrive โ€” the deal completes when both sides confirm.
Delivery: enter your shipping address at checkout. The seller ships and enters tracking โ€” you'll see:
PENDING SHIPMENT
IN TRANSIT
DELIVERED
When the item is in your hands, tap CONFIRM RECEIPT in Orders (๐Ÿ“‹). That's what releases payment to the seller โ€” until then your money is held safely in escrow.
๐Ÿ“ธ
Selling โ€” Creating a Listing
Tap + NEW LISTING on the Sell side. The flow is photo-first:
โ€ข
Take at least 4 photos โ€” one from each side. More photos = buyer confidence. You can also upload from your library.
โ€ข
Tap a photo in the strip to reorder, retake, or delete it. Photo #1 is your cover.
โ€ข
Hit โœฆ SCAN WITH AI โ€” every photo is analysed to auto-fill your title, condition-aware description, price, and category.
โ€ข
Everything is editable. Add more photos anytime before posting.
Then choose how to sell: ๐Ÿค LOCAL PICKUP (all sellers) or ๐Ÿ“ฆ DELIVERY (Premium). Post โ€” your listing appears in Browse immediately.
๐Ÿช
Your CopiT Shop
Premium sellers get a CopiT Shop โ€” an Instagram-style storefront buyers can browse: your profile, stats, and a visual product feed.
โ€ข
Manage it from the CopiT Shop tab: edit your name and bio, add a banner, manage listings.
โ€ข
Tap ๐Ÿ‘ VIEW AS BUYER to see your storefront exactly as shoppers do.
โ€ข
Ad revenue: Google AdSense ads appear between your listings โ€” and the space is yours. More listings โ†’ more ad placements โ†’ more revenue. 10 listings โ‰ˆ 3 placements; 50 โ‰ˆ 10.
โ€ข
๐Ÿ“Š Shop Analytics shows views, revenue trends, growth, top products, ad spaces, and projected ad income โ€” filterable by time period.
๐Ÿš—
Driving โ€” Earn with CopiT Driver
CopiT Drivers turn local deals into same-day deliveries โ€” and keep $5.00 of every base fee plus 100% of mileage and tips:
โ€ข
$5.00 base per delivery + 100% of the $0.50/mile + 100% of tips. CopiT takes a flat $1.99 of the buyer's fee โ€” never a cut of your miles or tips.
โ€ข
Example: an 8-mile route with a $3 tip pays $12.00.
Becoming a driver:
โ€ข
Apply from the DRIVE side โ€” personal info, license photos, vehicle, and insurance. ๐Ÿ“ธ Snap your insurance card and AI fills the policy details for you.
โ€ข
A background check (Checkr) reviews your record โ€” most drivers clear within 24โ€“48 hours, and Cop Routes unlocks the moment you do.
Working:
โ€ข
Flip ONLINE on Cop Routes โ€” buyers instantly see a driver is available. Go invisible anytime by flipping it off. No shifts, no minimums.
โ€ข
Pick routes from the job board: pickup at the seller, delivery to the buyer, arrival check-ins on both ends.
โ€ข
Payouts release when the buyer confirms receipt โ€” the same escrow that protects every CopiT deal protects your earnings.
๐Ÿ…
The Verified Badge
The ๐Ÿ… badge marks sellers buyers can trust. It's earned, never bought, and both requirements must hold at the same time:
โ€ข
20+ completed sales
โ€ข
4.5โ˜…+ average rating
It's live: a bad run of reviews that drops you below 4.5 removes the badge instantly; recover and it comes right back. Track your progress on the Profile tab under VERIFICATION PROGRESS.
Buyers: look for ๐Ÿ… next to seller names everywhere โ€” feed cards, listings, shops, the directory.
โœฆ
Premium vs Free
Free gets you selling: up to 50 listings, local pickup, haggling, sales tracking, and Verified Badge eligibility.
Premium ($10/mo) turns it into a business:
โ€ข
Unlimited listings + DELIVERY selling (ship nationwide)
โ€ข
Your own CopiT Shop storefront + ad revenue
โ€ข
๐Ÿ“Š Shop Analytics dashboard
โ€ข
Listed in the CopiT Shops directory
Upgrade anytime from the Profile tab โ€” cancel anytime too.

Payments, Fees & Disputes
Your money is protected. Card payments run through Stripe and sit in escrow โ€” sellers are paid only after you confirm receipt.
โ€ข
Fees: 5% (min $1) per sale โ€” same rate on every tier. Buyers pay no fees.
โ€ข
Local deals can also be paid in person (cash/transfer) โ€” marked ๐Ÿค PAY IN PERSON.

FAQ
Do I need an account to browse? No โ€” browse freely. A profile is needed to buy, offer, or sell.
When does the seller get my money? Only after you tap CONFIRM RECEIPT. Until then it's held in escrow.
Can I change a review? Yes โ€” edit or delete it anytime from the order's detail page.
Why must I take 4 photos when listing? The AI reads all angles to price and describe accurately โ€” and buyers trust listings they can inspect.
What happens if a seller ignores my dispute? After 7 days it escalates to CopiT automatically and gets decided on the evidence.
How do I earn from ads? Premium + a CopiT Shop. Ads appear between your listings โ€” more listings, more placements, more revenue.
