Every accepted quote pays your quoted price plus any tier bonus. Your tier also sets your payment hold, your notification wave, and your daily alert cap — four levers, one Priority Score, automatic promotion as you fulfil.
Your tier isn’t just a label — it’s a four-dimensional package that compounds. Bonus rate on every order, payment hold length, notification wave priority, and the number of alerts you see each day. Every dimension moves as you climb.
Tier-driven percentage paid on every accepted quote, on top of your quoted part price. Funded out of GoFindPart’s gross margin — no platform fee is ever deducted from your payout.
Time from buyer acceptance to payout. Base 48 h applies to PREMIER & PREFERRED; lower tiers add +1 to +7 days based on track record.
Top tiers are notified first; lower tiers a short while later. Your tier sets where you sit in the queue for every new request.
How many request notifications you receive per day. Higher tiers get a larger daily alert allowance — curbing alert fatigue at lower tiers while giving top-tier sellers the broadest pipeline.
The full canonical ladder, top to bottom. Cross a threshold and your tier changes automatically, updated continuously as you fulfil. PREMIER is the only tier that requires admin confirmation; everything else is automatic.
<strong>New sellers:</strong> top tiers are notified first, and newer sellers see some requests a short while later while you build your record — the most urgent orders route to proven sellers first. Graduation to STANDARD is earned by consistent, reliable fulfilment over your first couple of weeks — see the promotion section below.
Your Priority Score is a blend of six operational measurements, updated continuously as you fulfil. There’s no subjective judgement, no admin scoring, no “vibe rating” — the same measures apply to every seller.
As your score crosses each band, your tier updates automatically. Drop a band, and you wait a grace period before demotion, so a single bad week doesn’t tank you.
Your score blends six things buyers care about — response speed, response rate, delivery reliability, acceptance rate, buyer rating and account health.
NEW SELLER → STANDARD → PREFERRED are automatic the moment your score crosses the threshold. PREMIER requires admin confirmation on top of the score. A grace period prevents whipsaw demotion. Here’s the full lifecycle in three cards.
Every new seller starts as NEW SELLER. Graduation to STANDARD is earned by consistent, reliable fulfilment over your first couple of weeks — automatically, once you’ve built a track record.
PREMIER is the only tier that requires a human in the loop. You become eligible on sustained top performance; admin then confirms or holds. Revocation triggers a 30-day cooldown before re-confirmation.
A single bad fulfilment doesn’t tank you. Tier boundaries use a grace period before demotion, so one bad week doesn’t cost you your tier. PAUSED is the only hard override — a safety hold that stops you instantly regardless of other factors.
Order GFP-9117: SKF spherical bearings, quoted at £284.00. Seller is PREFERRED tier. GoFindPart buys the part from you at your quoted price plus your tier bonus and resells the part on to the buyer; payout is released 48 hours after buyer acceptance.
Notifications go out by tier — top tiers are notified first, lower tiers a short while later. The same tier also sets your payment hold and your daily alert allowance, so climbing the ladder moves every lever at once.
Pick your tier, set your run-rate. The calculator multiplies gross weekly sales by your tier bonus rate to show what the bonus adds — on top of the 100% of quoted price you already keep.
Apply in ten minutes, NEW SELLER from order one. Graduation to STANDARD — five deliveries, 14 days and a healthy account — puts you in the full quote flow; climb on to PREFERRED and the bonus rate (+0.5%) kicks in.
