Is CelebrationCycle only for wedding dresses?
No. Most listings are decor: arches, linens, signage, centerpieces and candles. Gowns and bridal-party wear are welcome too.
What does it cost to sell on CelebrationCycle?
Listing is free. When an item sells, a 7% fee is taken from the payout, so you keep 93%.
How is my payment protected?
Your money is held in escrow. The seller is paid 48 hours after delivery, or once you confirm a local pickup with your PIN. If the item isn't as described, report it in that window for a refund.
