Free to list. Pay only to stand out.
Flipns never takes a cut of what you sell. The business model is deliberately the other one: listing is free forever, and sellers who want more attention on a particular item buy it, at a published price, for that item only.

Listing is free, and there is no cut
Creating a listing on Flipns costs nothing, whether the item is brand new or ten years old, and whether you list one of it or fifty. When it sells, Flipns takes no percentage — the price you agreed is the money you keep.
That is a different model from a commission marketplace, and it produces a different incentive. Flipns earns when a seller chooses to promote an item, which means it earns from sellers who want more reach rather than from every transaction on the platform.
What a credit is
Credit prices depend on your market and purchase channel. Credits are bought in packs — ₹100, ₹250, ₹500 or ₹1,000 — and every new account starts with 100 of them, so your first promotion does not require a payment at all.
Credits do not expire and are not transferable between accounts. They buy the things below and nothing else; they are never required to list, to browse, to message or to sell.
The two promotions, and how they differ
Featured sells a window. Your listing is pinned above the feed and to the top of matching searches, tagged as Featured, for as long as you have bought — 10 credits for a day, 50 for a full week. Buying more time stacks onto what is already running.
Bump to Top sells an event. For 8 credits your listing moves back to the top of new listings as though you had just posted it, once every 24 hours. It is the cheaper of the two on purpose: it is the right tool for an item that has simply aged, where Featured is the right tool for an item you want held in front of people.
- Featured — 1 day: 10 credits
- Featured — 7 days: 50 credits
- Bump to Top: 8 credits, once per 24 hours
- Reveal your contact number on a listing: 100 credits
- Identity verification: free — credits are held during review and returned
- Forward a buyer message to WhatsApp or SMS: 0.25 credits each
Credits you do not have to buy
Every account is granted 100 credits at signup. Inviting someone pays 50 credits to each of you once they join and redeem the code, and a listing you paid to promote pays a small rebate back when it sells out.
None of those is a discount on listing, because listing was already free. They exist so a new seller can try a promotion before deciding whether it is worth money.
