Why no Free trial of Seller
The Seller tier comes with seller approval — we hand-review applicants. A free trial would not work alongside the curation step. If you are approved, the membership starts. If you want to test the platform first, Browse and Buy together give you a complete buyer experience for €3/month.
Switching tiers
You can change tier any time from your account page. See Upgrading and downgrading.
