"I'd been hunting for a clean pair of Jordan 1 Chicagos in my size for months. Posted the exact pair I wanted on Surcal and had 6 verified sellers competing within a day. Got them $80 below resale and the escrow made me feel safe sending real money."
Jordan Reyes
Sneaker collector, buyer
"I've been flipping electronics for years and eBay fees were eating my margins. On Surcal buyers tell me exactly what they want, I quote, ship, and get paid out of escrow. The 5% flat fee is nothing compared to what I was losing before."
Devin Park
Electronics reseller, seller
