OrcaSource - The Reverse Marketplace Stop wasting hours scrolling through listings hoping someone has what you want. OrcaSource reverses the marketplace: post what you're looking for, and let sellers come to you. Buyers: Post a listing of what you want to buy, set your price, and wait. Sellers send offers directly to you. Accept the best one, or counter until you land on a number you are happy with. It only takes 1-3 minutes to create a listing. Way better than spending hours searching the web. Sellers: With OrcaSource you can now proactively sell. No more posting an item and hoping an algorithm shows it to the right person. Search real buyer requests, see exactly what people want and what they're willing to pay, and send your offer straight to them. You're no longer waiting around... you're finding your next sale. Bounties: The "Bounties" feature is where a buyer offers a reward to anyone who can track down what they're looking for. Here's how it works: find a seller who has the item, and in exchange for a small percentage of the deal, hand over where to find it and what it costs. Once you both agree on the bounty, connect the buyer with the seller. When their deal closes, you get your cut from the buyer. For example: agree to a 5% bounty on a $300 deal, and once it's completed, you walk away with $15. Browse: Scroll listings in a social-media style feed and send offers straight from the post. No digging through categories, no endless filters. Just swipe and sell. Off-platform payments, real savings: Deals are meant to be handled through PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, or however you and the other party agree. That means you only pay the small purchase protection fee and you keep more of every sale instead of losing 10%+ to traditional platform fees. We strongly recommend always using purchase protection when dealing with new buyers and sellers. Ditch the traditional marketplace. Reverse it with OrcaSource.
