Sign up
Signing up is free and super easy; you just choose a username and password and agree to our terms of service. New! For your security, Buy From A Christian, LLC no longer asks for your credit card information.
List an item
Once you have signed up all you need to list an item is a title, description, and a couple of pictures. It's a quick and easy process that only takes about 2-3 minutes to complete. New! You will only be charged a flat fee of $1.00 per listing. That's all you will ever pay to sell an item (except for Automobiles & Real Estate, please read below).
Selling an item
As a seller you get to choose what payment methods you accept. We recommend PayPal, as it facilitates instant payment and offers anti-fraud protection. When an item sells, both the buyer and seller are sent emails with the transaction details included. New! You will only be charged a flat fee of $1.00 per listing, EXCEPT for Automobiles, Motors, Marine, and Real Estate. These categories require a ONE-TIME listing fee; there are NO fees collected when you sell in these categories. For example, list your car for $5 or a home for $10, that is ALL you pay. There are no additional fees or commissions when you sell. And, list with confidence! Your listing remains up on the site until you sell your product, or you choose to remove the listing!
Note: To prevent items remaining on the site indefinitely that could have potentially sold offline, we do remove products that have been on the site for more than three months. However, we will notify you before the three month period is up, so that you can RENEW YOUR LISTING FOR FREE! And you can keep renewing your listing for as long as you need to sell your item. That is why we say you pay for a listing "UNTIL IT SELLS!"
Fees
Our fee system is simple: it cost only $1.00 to list an item on iBFAC. The best part is once you list an item, it stays up UNTIL IT SELLS (or you choose to remove it; see above explanation on how you can renew your listing every 3 months for FREE until your item sells). There are no monthly listing fees like on other sites. Relax, $1.00 is all it takes to list an item on BuyFromAChristian.com until it sells!
And, we give 10% of the fees you pay us (directly to BuyFromAChristian.com) to the CHURCH or CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION of your choice! In other words, we give 10% of your listing fee to your church. We DO NOT take 10% of your sale price and give this to your church. A sale on iBFAC occurs between two individuals OUTSIDE of our site. We are not involved in the collection of money for sold items between a buyer and seller. So, again, the 10% we give to your church comes from the listing fees paid to iBFAC. The 10% given to your church in NO WAY involves the money collected on a sold item- again, we give 10% of fees paid to iBFAC only.
Important Exceptions:
- Autos, Marine, Motors, and Real Estate listings are also one-time charges. You pay $5 for a listing in Autos, Marine, and Motors; you pay $10 for a listing in Real Estate (properties and homes). It is that simple! And again, your listing stays up UNTIL YOU SELL (renewable every 3 months for FREE; see above explanation for complete details)! We receive no other fees when you sell your product in these categories. And, as always, we give 10% of your listing fee to YOUR church! So list your home, and $1 goes to your church; list your car or boat and $0.50 goes to your church. To be clear: NO FEES are collected when you SELL your item (also to be clear: the 10% we give to your church comes ONLY from your $5.00 or $10.00 listing fee and not from any percentage of your sales fee).
- Also, there are NO listing fees for ALL items listed through a church or Christian organization garage sale. This is another way iBFAC seeks to help churches raise money!
We are excited to offer this low-price advertising tool to Christians. These prices are among the cheapest you will find, and they run not for just 1 month or 3 months (like most sites), but for AS LONG AS IT TAKES to sell your item (renewable every 3 months for FREE as noted above)! So list with confidence knowing your listing will not go down until you sell! Give us a try as we seek to help you advertise to other Christians AND support your church!
Non-paying buyers
If a buyer does not pay for the item they purchased, we will refund you the $1.00 listing fee and allow you to re-list it for free.
