The Whisky Base Marketplace is now open for business!

We are happy and proud to announce a new addition to Whiskybase: the Whiskybase Marketplace! This is the place where you can find and buy the bottles you have been wanting for a long time. This is also the place where you can sell the bottles that you don’t want anymore.

On the Marketplace members can buy and sell bottles in a convenient and safe way. You can sell and buy bottles in two different ways:

– Fixed price, the seller decides what he wants to receive for his bottle
– Auction, the seller can set a minimum price and buyers can bid.

Here’s how it works

First you will have to make some changes to your existing profile to be able to buy and sell on the Marketplace. For example, you will have to connect your Paypal account to your profile.

When a bottle has been sold the buyer is asked to pay for the bottle and shipping.

The money is send to Whiskybase Marketplace and when the money is received the seller gets a notification that the bottle can be shipped.

The seller then packs up the bottle very securely and sends it to the buyer.

As a proof of sending the bottle the seller fills in the barcode and tracking link on Marketplace. Now the buyer can keep track of the parcel.

After the parcel has arrived and the buyer accepts the bottle the Marketplace will pay the seller.

Paypal
We use Paypal because it is very secure and fast. If Paypal is new for you, signing up is easy and takes only a few minutes. Whiskybase charges an 8% fee for every transaction made on Marketplace. This fee is used in part to cover Paypal transactions costs .

Wishlist
To make it easier to find your favourite whiskies we added the option to get notified when a bottle from your wishlist is offered for sale on Marketplace.

Enjoy the Marketplace!
