Question 1

How does SCRAPD differ from Depop?

Accepted Answer

SCRAPD curates every creator through a 72-hour hand-review and rejects fast-fashion resale, dropship, and AI-generated listings. Depop's algorithm rewards daily activity and dilutes one-of-one reworked pieces with bulk thrift-flippers. SCRAPD's founding-50 creators lock in our lowest commission rate for life. Depop charges 10% plus 3.3% + $0.45 payment processing per Depop's published fee schedule.

Question 2

What's the SCRAPD commission for creators?

Accepted Answer

Commission rates are locked for life the day a storefront is approved. Founding-50 creators (the first 50 approved) lock in our lowest rate of 5% forever. Rates increase after the founding-50 cohort fills, but every creator's rate stays where it was set — even if they pause their store and come back later. There are no listing fees, no monthly fees, no forced ad-tax. Commission deducts automatically via Stripe Connect at sale.

Question 3

Does SCRAPD charge buyer fees?

Accepted Answer

No. Buyers pay the item price plus shipping plus Stripe Tax. Zero platform fee, zero buyer protection fee, zero service fee. SCRAPD's revenue comes entirely from the creator-side commission. This is permanent platform policy — unlike Mercari or Vinted, SCRAPD will not migrate buyer-side fees onto the customer.

Question 4

What kinds of pieces get approved on SCRAPD?

Accepted Answer

Reworked vintage, denim, upcycled clothing, crochet and knit, leatherwork, upcycled accessories, original art, pottery and ceramics, woodwork, sculpture, jewelry, paper and stationery, handmade decor, and footwear — fourteen curated categories. Every piece must be one-of-one or small-batch handmade by the creator. Every application is hand-reviewed within 72 hours by a real person. Mass-produced fast fashion, dropshipped goods, AI-generated listings, and unaltered factory resale are explicitly rejected at the gate.

Question 5

How long does it take to get paid as a creator on SCRAPD?

Accepted Answer

After the buyer confirms delivery, payouts release to your Stripe Connect Express account on Stripe's standard 2-3 business day schedule. SCRAPD does not hold a platform float. Direct creator-to-Stripe payout. No 45-day new-seller hold like Etsy applies. International payouts are deferred to post-launch — US + Canada at launch.

Question 6

How is SCRAPD different from Etsy for upcycled clothing?

Accepted Answer

Etsy's blended take-rate runs ~22% once Offsite Ads (12-15%, mandatory for sellers above $10k/yr), 6.5% transaction fee, $0.20 listing fee, and 3% + $0.25 payment processing are stacked. SCRAPD has a single creator-side commission with no listing fees and no forced ad opt-in. Founding-50 creators lock in our lowest rate for life. Etsy permits AI-generated and dropship listings under self-attestation; SCRAPD's 72-hour application gate rejects them.

Question 7

Where is SCRAPD based and who runs it?

Accepted Answer

SCRAPD is operated by Radically Repurposed Rags LLC, based in Nashville, Tennessee and founded in 2024. Every creator application is hand-reviewed by a real person before approval. The marketplace launched at scrapd.app and currently ships within the United States.
