Work and goods, in the loop — sold.
A marketplace that works both ways: order a fixed-price package instantly, or post a job and take proposals. One profile, one flat fee, and the complaints people have about the big platforms designed out from day one.
How it's different
The rules are the product. They're printed, not promised.
One flat 10% fee
From the seller's side only. $0 buyer service fee, and the fee is never charged on tax or shipping. The price shown is the price paid.
Applying is always free
No credits, no paid bids, no pay-to-rank. Sellers get a fair monthly proposal cap instead of a toll booth.
Funded before it's visible
A job post doesn't exist publicly until the buyer's payment is verified and the first milestone is funded. Scam posts have nothing to scam with.
No silent bans
Any enforcement action states the rule and the evidence, and opens a 7-day human appeal. Money already earned still pays out.
Paid in 3 days
Payout lands 3 days after the buyer accepts — not 14. The schedule is in the terms, never a surprise.
Categories
Launch niche: digital services for small businesses, small towns, and trades.
Packages
Founding seller first — plus a few clearly-labeled demo examples.
Sell goods too — on the same account.
Coming in Phase 4 — sell goods too: parts & equipment, tools, local pickup. Buy It Now or auction, shipping labels through the platform, and the same rule as services: one flat 10%, never on tax or shipping. Your service reviews and your goods sales live on one profile.
Teaser only — the goods storefront isn't part of this demo.
CrossTrade Contracting
A real, working contractor and web builder. New to LoopSold — so there's no review history here yet, and we won't invent any. The proof is the live work in the portfolio below.
Packages from CrossTrade
Seller standing
Three public numbers. That's the whole system.
How standing works for everyone
- On-time % — deliveries on or before the promised date ÷ all deliveries.
- Repeat-buyer % — buyers who ordered again ÷ all buyers.
- Review average — the plain mean of public reviews. Sellers can respond to any review, publicly.

Fund the order
Your payment is held by the platform's payment flow and only releases when you accept the delivery. The seller can't touch it before then — and can't be stiffed after.
What just happened
- The funded money released from escrow-style holding.
- LoopSold's 10% came out of the seller's side — the buyer paid exactly the listed price.
- The seller's payout lands 3 days after acceptance. Not 14.
- Both sides can now leave a public review — and the seller can respond to theirs.
Post a job
The other way to buy: describe the work, take proposals. Applying is free for sellers — and under Rule 03, your post stays invisible until it's funded. That one rule is what keeps scam posts off the platform.
Job details
🔒 Invisible to sellers
Drafts and unfunded posts appear in zero search results. No seller can see it, apply to it, or waste time on it. This is the state your post is in right now.
🌐 Public — sellers can apply
Once the first milestone is funded and your payment method is verified, this flips live: it appears in search, and sellers may apply — free, always.
Admin — review queue
Demo view of the operator's side: new sellers and job posts get a quick human look, and disputes run on a published clock. Demo data only.

Open dispute — demo
Order #LS-1042 · Buyer says the delivered logo files are low-resolution; seller says print-ready files were sent. Both sides' evidence is in the thread.
Day 2 of 5 business days — a human decides by the end of day 5, with written reasons to both sides. Only this order's funds are held; the seller's other payouts are untouched.
Enforcement, the LoopSold way
- No silent bans — every action states the rule and the evidence.
- 7-day human appeal on every enforcement action.
- Earned money pays out even if an account is closed, short of proven fraud.
- Holds touch one order only — never a seller's whole balance.
