What types of bikes can I sell?
buycycle is a marketplace for sport bikes, such as road, gravel, or mountain bikes. We don’t allow city, cargo, or kids’ bikes.
If you want to sell a bike on behalf of a customer, the bike must be uploaded to the customer’s private buycycle account. Bikes sold by your store can be sold from your account
Shipping and delivery
How does shipping work?
Buyers can choose between self-pickup and delivery.
For self-pick up, we forward your contact details to the buyer to arrange the time and date for collection. You and the buyer will receive a link to confirm the successful pick up of the bike. You can collect payment once both parties have confirmed. If the buyer declines the bike, you can decline the pick up using the same link. The buyer will be promptly refunded. No packaging will be sent to you.
For delivery, we’ll send you everything you need to safely ship your bike. We offer detailed packing instructions, and will email you the shipping label. We handle all communication and organization with the shipping company for free. Just let us know when the bike should be picked up. All you have to do is pack the bike and hand it over.
What's the return policy for commercial sellers?
Bikes sold by commercial sellers are subject to a 14-day right of return policy. The legal warranty of 2 years for new goods and 12 months for used goods also applies to commercial sellers.
Payment and fees
What are buycycle's fees?
Buycycle only charges a selling fee for each successful sale. This fee covers platform maintenance, shipping, organization, etc. Your actual payment amount (sale price minus fee) is displayed when you upload the bike and when you confirm the sale. There are no fees for registering, uploading, or shipping your bikes.
How does the payment process work? When and how do I receive my money?
As soon as you receive a purchase request, the buyer has already paid for the bike in full. The payment is captured by our payment service provider Adyen and secured on an escrow account until the bike is picked up by the shipping company or by the buyer. We then release the buyer’s payment and you can request your payout from your buycycle account. To get paid, you must first verify your bank information. You’ll then receive payment in 4-5 business days.
How does the sale work from a legal perspective? Is the buyer or buycycle the second party of the purchase contract with me?
