Why Avarius?
Reach shoppers looking for you specifically
Avarius shoppers come to us because they want South African-made — not another marketplace full of imported stock. Your brand gets found by people already looking for it.
You keep control of fulfilment
We never touch your stock. Avarius books courier collection for you automatically through Bob Go, or you can arrange your own delivery instead. Your product, your process, your customer relationship.
Transparent commission
A single, clearly stated commission per sale — between 8% and 15% depending on category — deducted automatically from your payout. No hidden listing games.
Get paid safely, every time
Payments are held in escrow until your buyer confirms delivery, then released straight to your available balance. Request a payout to your bank account whenever you're ready.
Real tools to grow, not just a listing
A full seller dashboard, sales analytics, promoted product placements and seasonal campaigns — built to help you sell more, not just be found.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to sell on Avarius?
Nothing for your first 3 months. After that, choose Growth (R99/month) or Featured (R299/month) to keep your listings live. On top of that, Avarius takes a single transparent commission per sale — between 8% and 15% depending on category — deducted automatically from your payout. No other listing fees.
Who handles shipping and delivery?
Avarius never holds your stock — you pack every order yourself. Courier collection is booked automatically through our Bob Go account once an order is paid, so buyers get real tracking without you needing your own courier account. Prefer to arrange delivery yourself instead? You can enter tracking manually in your seller portal.
How and when do I get paid?
When a buyer's payment clears, it's held in escrow. Once the order is marked delivered, the funds — minus commission — move to your available balance, and you can request a payout to your bank account any time.
What can I sell on Avarius?
Real South African-made products across five categories: Township & Kasi Food, Black-Owned Beauty & Skincare, SA Handmade & Craft, Home & Living / Décor, and Health, Wellness & Organic Foods. Every application is reviewed for authenticity before approval.
