§ SELLER · TIER BENEFITS

Earn more,
ship faster,
see requests first.

Every accepted quote pays your quoted price plus any tier bonus. Your tier also sets your notification wave and your daily alert cap — one Priority Score, automatic promotion as you fulfil — and every payout lands on a fixed, scheduled date.

§ TIER UNLOCKS · WHAT MOVES

The levers,
one Priority Score.

Your tier isn’t just a label — it’s a package that compounds. Bonus rate on every order, notification wave priority, and the number of alerts you see each day — and behind all of it, a payout date that’s fixed and scheduled at every tier.

§ L.01 · BONUS +1% PREMIER ceiling · per order

Seller bonus.

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.

Rates: 1.0 / 0.5 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0%
§ L.02 · PAYOUT Fixed Scheduled · every tier

Payout date.

Every payout lands on a fixed, scheduled date — set by the payment terms on your account — and GoFindPart pays it on the dot, regardless of when the buyer settles. No chasing, no bad debt.

Every tier: scheduled · on the dot
§ L.03 · WAVE W1 First dibs on new requests

Notification wave.

Direct sellers are notified by tier — top tiers first, lower tiers a short while later, or all at once when few sellers match. A seller whose listed stock matches the request is notified at once, whatever its model; otherwise Network sellers are notified if the request still needs quotes once Direct sellers have had first look, or sooner if the buyer asks.

By tier: W1 / W1 / W2 / W2−3 / W3 / —
§ L.04 · CAP Top Widest daily reach · PREMIER

Daily cap.

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.

§ CANONICAL TIER LADDER

Six tiers.
One Priority Score.

The full canonical ladder, top to bottom. Cross a threshold and your tier changes automatically, updated continuously as you fulfil. At the top sits PREMIER — for excellent sellers with a strong, sustained track record of great fulfilment.

New sellers: reliable fulfilment over your first couple of weeks graduates you to STANDARD — see the promotion section below. Waves order Direct sellers; for listed stock that matches a request, and for Network sellers, see the questions below.

§ PRIORITY SCORE · 0–100

Six numbers,
one tier.

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.

§ SCORE COMPONENTS

§ UPDATED AS YOU FULFIL
§ TIER LIFECYCLE

How you move up.
How you stay.

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.

§ STAGE 01 · NEW SELLER → STANDARD

Graduation, automatic.

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.

  • +A handful of completed deliveriesOrders seen through to completion
  • +A couple of weeks tradingTime to establish a track record
  • +A healthy accountVerified, with no severe penalties
  • +A solid Priority ScoreReaching the STANDARD band
§ STAGE 02 · PREFERRED → PREMIER

Earned, over time.

PREMIER reflects your whole record, not a single good month — sustained top-band performance across deliveries, ratings and account health. If it lapses, it takes a rebuilt record to return.

  • +A top-band scoreSustained, not a one-off spike
  • +A strong delivery recordConsistent lifetime fulfilment
  • +Excellent buyer ratingsLifetime rolling average
  • +A clean recent recordNo active penalties
§ STAGE 03 · DEMOTION & GRACE

One bad week, protected.

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.

  • ~Grace period before demotionOne bad week won’t cost you your tier
  • ~PREMIER re-confirmA recovering score doesn’t auto-restore it
  • ~Newer-seller protectionsEarly stumbles won’t sink your standing
  • ×PAUSED is instantSafety override · no grace period
§ SAMPLE PAYOUT · PREFERRED TIER

Real numbers.
One order, one payout.

Your tier also sets your notification wave and your daily alert allowance, so climbing the ladder moves every lever at once.

§ FAQ · TIERS & BONUSES

Before you chase the score.

01 Is the bonus the only benefit of climbing tiers?
No — the bonus is one of the levers. Higher tiers also get an earlier notification wave (among Direct sellers, top tiers are notified first) and a larger daily alert allowance, and the levers move together as your Priority Score crosses a band. Your payout date is the same fixed, scheduled promise at every tier.
02 Who pays the seller bonus?
GoFindPart does. Under the merchant-of-record model GFP buys the part from you at your quoted price plus any tier bonus (so it lands in your payout) and resells the part to the buyer at an all-inclusive retail price. The gross margin between those two numbers — roughly 14–15% after bonuses — is GFP’s, and bonuses are funded out of it. No platform fee is ever deducted from your quoted price.
03 Is the gross margin calculated on the whole order including delivery?
No — only the part price. Delivery is platform-quoted live from UK couriers across every speed tier and sits on the buyer’s invoice separately. The 15% gross margin applies only to the quoted amount. Your tier bonus is also calculated on the part price only, never delivery.
04 How fast does my tier change after my score moves?
Your score is updated continuously as you fulfil. NEW SELLER → STANDARD → PREFERRED transitions happen automatically as you cross a threshold. PREMIER is for excellent sellers with a strong, sustained history — keep your score high and keep fulfilling well and it’s where the ladder leads. Demotions use a grace period so one bad week doesn’t tank you — except PAUSED, which is instant as a safety override.
05 Why does NEW SELLER have two different wave assignments?
Urgency-sensitive routing. New sellers see most requests in the same wave as STANDARD, but the most urgent, SLA-critical orders route to proven sellers first — so line-down requests reach established sellers before newer ones. Once you graduate to STANDARD — earned by consistent, reliable fulfilment over your first couple of weeks — urgent requests reach you in the same wave as every other request.
06 Can I lose PREMIER for a performance dip?
Yes, via two distinct routes. Admin revocation clears your PREMIER confirmation and triggers a 30-day cooldown before you can be re-confirmed. A grace-period demotion also clears PREMIER but carries no cooldown — admin can re-confirm as soon as your performance recovers and the other criteria are met. A recovering score on its own never auto-restores PREMIER.
07 What’s the daily notification cap for?
Two reasons. First, it curbs alert fatigue at lower tiers — LIMITED sellers get a smaller allowance so the inbox stays manageable while you rebuild. Second, it concentrates volume on top performers: PREMIER gets the largest allowance, which keeps the platform’s best inventory at the front of every buyer’s queue. The allowance resets daily.
08 When is the bonus paid out?
It arrives in the same payout to your connected account as the order itself, on your scheduled payout date — set by the payment terms on your account, once the order has completed. Bonuses are itemised on the seller receipt.
09 Does it matter whether I sell from stock or source parts?
For when you hear about a request, yes; for your money, no. Direct sellers — who fulfil from stock they hold or control — are notified first, by tier. Network sellers, who source parts through a supplier network, are notified if a request still needs quotes once Direct sellers have had first look, or sooner if the buyer asks. A seller whose listed stock matches the request is notified at once, whatever its model. Bonus rates, payouts and tiers are the same for both.
