How Selling Works
Sell your eBike through WattMatch with identity checks, protected payment and a clear handover process designed to reduce the risk of buyer fraud.
Step 1: Create a Listing
Quickly get your eBike in front of thousands of verified buyers with our guided listing process.
Upload photos: Upload clear photos of your bike, battery labels, and proof of ownership.
Pricing strategy: Set your asking price and choose your preferred fee structure.
Step 2: Buyer Commits Funds
When a buyer purchases your bike, they pay through Stripe Checkout and WattMatch holds the payment while the sale is completed.
Escrow: Their payment is held by WattMatch via Stripe until the sale is complete.
Check before you hand over: Check that your dashboard says payment received before handing over the bike. Payout remains subject to the inspection period, any dispute, and Stripe's rules.
Step 3: Handover (Collection or Delivery)
Hand over the bike in person or dispatch it via our delivery service, knowing the payment is held.
In-Person Collection: Meet the buyer in a public location. They inspect the bike and provide you with a 6-digit PIN to confirm final acceptance.
Shipped Delivery: If using our delivery service, carefully pack the bike. The buyer will have a strict 48-hour functional inspection window upon delivery.
In-App Messaging: Always use WattMatch messaging to coordinate handover details or tracking updates.
Step 4: Payout & Digital Title
Once accepted, the escrow process begins your payout and transfers the Digital Title. Your funds are held and released after the applicable escrow hold.
Payout Timing (Collection): For in-person collections, your sale is confirmed once you enter the buyer's 6-digit PIN. Your payout is then held in escrow (typically 48 hours) before release.
Payout Timing (Delivery): For shipped deliveries, payment is triggered once the buyer approves the bike or the 48-hour inspection window expires.
Bank Transfer via Stripe: Once the escrow hold has passed, your funds are deposited to your bank account via Stripe Connect.
Digital Transfer: The buyer formally receives a Digital Title proving their new ownership of the bike.
