How to sell a record or CD

The VOLT Marketplace is for physical media — vinyl, CDs, and tapes. It's separate from digital track uploads and charges just 5% on the item price, never on shipping.

1.Apply to sell

This step is reviewed by VEAEA staff — it's the one part of VOLT with a real approval wait. Unlike digital artist or label accounts (which go live instantly), every marketplace seller is manually approved, typically within 24 hours. This protects buyers on a marketplace involving real postage and physical goods changing hands.

2.Fill in your seller profile

Give your seller account a display name (your own name or a shop name), plus optional location, a short bio for buyers, and your shipping and return policy. You can also add payout bank details here or later.

3.Submit and wait for approval

Once submitted, you'll see a confirmation and your application moves to VEAEA staff for review. You can return to the same page any time to check your status — once approved, it takes you straight to the listing form.

4.List your first item

When approved, going back to Sell your music shows the listing form: search Discogs to auto-fill title, artist, label, format, and cover art, or enter details manually if your item isn't on Discogs. Set media and sleeve condition, price, domestic and international shipping, and quantity, then add photos and publish the listing.
