Vendor Information
A professional B2C marketplace for second-hand retail
OpShop.Kiwi is a curated New Zealand marketplace built for second-hand, vintage, antique, collectable, and charity-store retailers. It is designed for approved vendors operating in trade, not casual private sellers.
The New Zealand second-hand retail sector is changing. Customers want sustainable choices, trusted sellers, clear product information, secure checkout, and a more professional online buying experience.
OpShop.Kiwi gives approved businesses, charity stores, professional dealers, and independent second-hand retailers a dedicated online sales channel designed around quality pre-loved goods.
Business-only B2C platform
OpShop.Kiwi is for approved businesses, established dealers, professional second-hand retailers, and charitable organisations. Consumer-to-Consumer selling and casual private listings are not permitted.
Why sell on OpShop.Kiwi?
- Dedicated second-hand marketplace: Your products sit within a platform built specifically for pre-loved, vintage, antique, collectable, and charity-store goods.

- National reach: Sell beyond your local area and reach buyers across New Zealand.

Operational Advantages
| Feature | Vendor Benefit | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| B2C marketplace structure | Designed for vendors operating in trade. | Creates a more trusted shopping environment for customers. |
| Curated vendor environment | Approved vendors sell alongside other professional second-hand retailers. | Helps protect platform quality and buyer confidence. |
| One-off item focus | Supports unique second-hand products rather than mass-produced stock only. | Better suited to op shops, vintage sellers, antique dealers, and collectable stores. |
| Optional service fees | Extra support can be quoted separately when needed. | Vendors only pay for the additional help they choose. |
Simple Commission Structure
OpShop.Kiwi uses a single standard commission structure based on monthly sales volume. Commission is charged only when an item sells and applies to the item price only. Shipping fees are excluded from commission.
| Monthly Sales Volume Required | Standard Commission |
|---|---|
| $0.00 - $1,000.00 | 13% |
| $1,000.01 - $5,000.00 | 10% |
| $5,000.01 and above | 7% |
Optional Support Services
Vendors can manage their own store or request additional support where required. Optional services may include:
- Store setup and onboarding support
- Product listing and upload support
- Image preparation and listing optimisation
- Marketing and promotional support
- Managed support or concierge-style assistance by agreement
Optional service fees replace the previous Tier B and Tier C commission model. This keeps commission simple and allows each vendor to choose the level of help they actually need.
