Palmstreet Official

Dear Palmstreet Sellers! Thank you for being core members of our community, by selling on our platform and servicing our customers.

As a platform, we invest heavily into making buying & selling more fun and simple:

  • Building a smooth and non-lag LIVE experience; comments are also instant
  • Removing the need to invoice customers after LIVE
  • Dual-streaming and Picture-in-Picture capabilities
  • Giveaways, Purge, and LIVE auctions
  • Blocking scammers, handling chargebacks, supporting customer questions
  • Handling sales taxes for sellers

Palmstreet wants to continue to be the best partner for your business. We are going to introduce changes in the following areas: Selling Fees, Trust & Safety, and Auctions.

Selling Fees

The goal is to keep the community more sustainable for everyone.

  • The platform can continue to work on fun and smooth LIVE experiences, trust & safety, and features that save time for your business.
  • The fees will be very reasonable in order to help support the growth of businesses.
  • The fees will be transparent, with no surprises, and communicated ahead of time.
