Hub fees and turnaround
Fees and timing are visible before inventory routes through a hub so sellers and buyers can confirm handoff checkpoints before choosing pickup, packing, or shipment.
Hub receipt snapshot
Modeled service lines follow the same item path from seller intake to buyer handoff so costs, holds, packing, and issue windows are visible before checkout stops.
Handoff path
Costs and timing stay attached to the item
Fees, holds, packing choices, and turnaround targets follow the item from seller intake through buyer pickup so neither side has to guess what happens next.
Intake line
Counter intake shows what service work starts before the listing is promoted.
Open intake.
Check depth
Category proof sets the expected time, packing, and buyer-visible confidence cues.
Open item checks.
Seller view
Estimated proceeds stay separate from hub, packing, reserve, and report holds.

Open checkout.
Pickup hold
Window, no-show rules, and release proof are visible before pickup is chosen and linked back to fee-related holds.

Event cutoff
Event inventory needs enough time for checks, reserves, and pickup routing.
Open events.
Seller Service Lines
- Marketplace fee, hub intake, packing service, event window, and pickup handling stay separate from item price.
- Seller earnings should show estimated take-home before the listing is published.
- Report holds and refund reserves explain why earnings can be delayed when proof packets or pickup state are incomplete.
- Late checks can move hold state from release-pending to release-ready.
Buyer Service Lines
- Cart review can show pickup service, packing, shipment, and protection cues before checkout stops.
- Service choices should not surprise buyers after an auction closes or offer is accepted.
- Local pickup stays clear about hold windows and no-show rules.
- Every line maps back to intake state, proof state, and proofing rules.
Turnaround Targets
- Same-day intake notes work for lightweight goods when photo and category checks are complete.
- Packing and shipment readiness depend on item size, battery status, fragility, and insurance choice.
- Event lots need cutoffs before timed auctions open.
Liability Notes
- Hub notes should explain accepted custody windows, rejected items, damaged-item handling, and proof requirements.
- Unsupported categories or unsafe goods are rejected before intake continues.
- Reports compare item snapshot, hub notes, packing photos, and handoff proof.
