Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about using PreOwnedGym.com marketplace.
How much does it cost to list equipment?
Basic listings are free for individual sellers (up to 5 items per month). We charge a 5% transaction fee only when your item sells. For higher volume sellers, we offer subscription plans with reduced fees and premium features. Dealers and commercial sellers can contact us for custom pricing plans that include enhanced promotion and priority placement.
Why do I need a Facebook account to use the platform?
Facebook verification helps establish real identities and creates accountability in our marketplace. This requirement significantly reduces fraudulent listings and scam attempts, as all users have verified profiles that can be tracked. It also enables our rating system to build meaningful reputation scores over time. For users concerned about privacy, we only access basic profile information necessary for verification and never post to your timeline or contacts.
How does the GymSpotter AI database work with my listing?
When you enter your equipment's make and model, GymSpotter AI automatically retrieves known specifications from our database of over 15,000 equipment models. This includes dimensions, weight capacity, features, original MSRP, and more. If the equipment serial number is already in our system, we may also provide ownership history and usage data. This pre-populated information saves you time and ensures accuracy while making your listing more attractive to potential buyers who can see comprehensive details about the equipment.
How long does it take for my listing to go live?
Most listings are approved and published within 24 hours. Certified equipment listings that require technician inspection will be published once the certification process is complete (typically 2-3 days depending on technician availability in your area). Premium and dealer listings receive priority review and are typically published within a few hours. If there are any issues with your listing, our team will contact you with specific feedback and recommendations.
What happens if there's a problem with an equipment purchase?
Our platform includes a comprehensive resolution center for handling any transaction issues. If the equipment doesn't match the listing description or certification level, buyers can submit a claim within 48 hours of receipt. We hold payment in escrow until issues are resolved. Our team will review evidence from both parties and may involve the certification technician if applicable. Depending on the situation, solutions may include partial refunds, return shipping, or other appropriate remedies. Our goal is to ensure fair outcomes for both buyers and sellers.
Can I sell equipment that isn't certified?
Yes, you can list equipment as "As-Is" condition without full certification, but it must still pass our basic 12-point safety check. Equipment listed as "As-Is" typically sells for significantly less than certified equipment and may take longer to find a buyer. If you're selling valuable commercial equipment, we strongly recommend booking a certification inspection through our technician network, as the increase in selling price often exceeds the certification cost. Certification also provides buyers with confidence, typically resulting in faster sales.
