Joining and starting a shop on BVI Paradise is dependent on the vendor membership you chose. There are two basic selling fees:  a transaction fee, and a payment processing fee.

A monthly subscription from $0 – $250 to publish a listing to the marketplace. Once an item sells, there is a 2.1% up to 15% transaction fee, depending on the vendor membership, on the sale price (not including shipping costs) and 1.4% + €0.25 on card transactions within the EEA,2.5% + €0.25 on card transactions from the UK & 2.9% + €0.25 on other international card transactions with Stripe payments. Any affected users of your platform will be notified next week, and these changes will take effect for them on 1 July 2022. If you accept payments with PayPal, there is also a payment processing fee based on their fee structure.

It’s easy to set up a shop on BVI Paradise. Sign up for a Vendor Membership (if you don’t already have one), choose a shop name, set your shop location and currency, create a listing, set a payment method (how you want to be paid), and finally set a billing method (how you want to pay your BVI Paradise fees).

If you accept payments with PayPal, funds from PayPal sales on BVI Paradise will be deposited into your PayPal account. We encourage sellers to use a PayPal Business account and not a Personal account, as personal accounts are subject to monthly receiving limits and cannot accept payments from buyers that are funded by a credit card.

If you accept payments with Stripe, funds from Stripe sales on BVI Paradise will deposited directly to your bank account.

You need a Vendor Membership subscription to create a shop. To be verified as a seller you have the choice to use either a credit card or to register via PayPal.

BVI Paradise is a marketplace for any products a seller wishes to sell except for illegal products.
