Our Honest Thoughts Marketplace Strategies By Erynn Hamel / June 24, 2026 • Last updated: June 24, 2026 ![Is TrueGether Legit? Our Honest Thoughts](https://blog.vendoo.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Is-Truegether-Legit--.jpg?length=800&name=Is-Truegether-Legit--.jpg) If you're asking, "Is TrueGether legit?", the short answer is yes. TrueGether is a legitimate U.S.-based online marketplace founded in 2012 and headquartered in New York. It is a real company with active buyers, sellers, and transactions taking place through established third-party payment processors such as PayPal and Amazon Pay. It is not a scam. ✅ That said, legitimacy and popularity are two different things. While TrueGether is a functioning marketplace with real buyer and seller protections, it operates differently than larger marketplaces like eBay and Poshmark. Understanding those differences is essential before deciding whether it's worth your time.   ## How TrueGether Works: The "Zero Fee" Reality [TrueGether](https://www.truegether.com/) is an online marketplace that positions itself as a no-fee alternative to platforms like eBay. One of the biggest selling points of TrueGether is its fee structure. You'll often see the marketplace described as "100% free," but that description requires some context: ![Truegether fee structure](https://blog.vendoo.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Truegether%20fee%20structure.webp?width=1000&height=507&name=Truegether%20fee%20structure.webp) - **The Base Tier:** TrueGether charges absolutely zero listing fees and zero final value fees on standard organic sales. Sellers can create unlimited listings and keep 100% of the sale price, aside from payment processing costs. - **Payment Processing:** While TrueGether does not charge commissions on free-tier sales, sellers still pay standard third-party payment processing fees. For example, PayPal typically charges around 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction. These fees are collected by the payment processor, not by TrueGether. - **The Premium Tier:** TrueGether's primary revenue source is its Premium plan, which starts at $19 per month plus a 5% fee per sale. In exchange, the marketplace uses AI-powered campaigns to syndicate listings to Google Shopping and Bing ads. Since much of TrueGether's visibility comes through external search traffic, these advertising campaigns are often the primary way products gain exposure.   [![](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8731369/interactive-195472669762.png) ](https://blog.vendoo.co/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLK7hmdgovg%2B4mtzCQ0v%2FMg%2FY3EyZzM52QEYqIe1UgKdPYMb2U6dGp0u%2BUlgk907Be3xnSJL86VMGcX42N4yptFZ782ezsYEXus42H2ZU2h6sQ1Q2HL3p0QVBCAxH%2FNk9vqd30h3lP2Y%2BQ8YDuWBR0feP3%2FG5PpRDYUVN5MsY5kK4HI69PP8Xy0bsz8rLIQ8jv7CQ7YgY0NTKwjtF4J2Il0DqxwgOGEZ1uj3r9svVpeIpgqGVmZzV4XQscolgSNzdr2KV5cPMBILh3e3U6kTYULGu6y8%2F4Y%3D&webInteractiveContentId=195472669762&portalId=8731369)   ## TrueGether vs. eBay: The 2026 Seller Experience Comparing TrueGether to eBay is unavoidable because TrueGether positions itself as an alternative marketplace for online sellers. The two platforms share some similarities, but the day-to-day selling experience is *dramatically *different. ### **Traffic Source Differences** The biggest difference is traffic. eBay has one of the largest built-in buyer ecosystems in ecommerce. Millions of shoppers visit eBay every day to search for products. TrueGether operates differently. Many sellers report that the marketplace itself feels relatively quiet compared to major competitors. Independent reseller reviews often describe it as a "ghost town" due to limited internal buyer traffic. Instead, many sales originate through Google searches and Google Shopping placements. This means success on TrueGether often depends on: - Strong SEO-friendly titles - Long-tail products - Google visibility - External search traffic Highly competitive products with hundreds of competing sellers may struggle to gain traction. ### **Feedback Import Tool** One feature that genuinely differentiates TrueGether is its feedback portability. New marketplaces typically create a trust problem. Buyers hesitate to purchase from sellers with no transaction history. TrueGether addresses this by allowing sellers to import their existing eBay feedback reputation. This enables experienced eBay sellers to establish credibility immediately instead of building reviews from scratch. ### **The Dropshipping Reputation** A common criticism of TrueGether involves dropshipping. Because listing inventory is free, the marketplace attracts large numbers of sellers who copy product listings from Amazon, eBay, and other ecommerce sites, then resell those products at a markup. The [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/) complaint history includes examples of disputes involving allegedly unauthorized listings and concerns regarding marketplace seller activity. While these complaints do not mean the platform itself is fraudulent, they illustrate the challenges that can arise on an open marketplace with minimal listing costs. For buyers, this means extra diligence is important. For sellers with genuine inventory, it means competing against large volumes of low-quality or duplicated listings.   ## eBay vs. TrueGether Side by Side   | Feature | TrueGether (Free Tier) | eBay (Standard Store) | | --- | --- | --- | | Listing Fees | $0 | Varies (First 250+ free) | | Final Value Fee (Commission) | 0% | ~13.25% - 15% | | Payment Gateway | PayPal, Amazon Pay | eBay Managed Payments | | Primary Traffic Source | External (Google Shopping) | Massive Internal Search | | Feedback Import | ✅ Yes (Can import from eBay) | ❌ No |   ## The Vendoo Strategy ![Vendoo Homepage](https://blog.vendoo.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Vendoo%20Homepage.webp?width=3456&height=1930&name=Vendoo%20Homepage.webp) TrueGether can generate sales, but it presents a practical challenge. Traffic is relatively limited compared to major marketplaces. As a result, the biggest mistake sellers make is investing significant manual labor into creating listings exclusively for TrueGether. ### **The ROI of Time** Creating hundreds of listings manually takes hours. If a marketplace generates only occasional sales, the return on that time investment can become extremely poor. Most professional resellers focus on maximizing exposure while minimizing listing time. ### **Automated Crosslisting** This is where Vendoo becomes valuable. Instead of creating separate listings for every marketplace, sellers create a listing once and distribute it across multiple marketplaces simultaneously. A typical workflow might include: (1) creating the listing in Vendoo and (2) publishing to eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, Whatnot, Shopify, and more. Plus, sellers use Vendoo to send automatic offers to likers, refresh listings, manage inventory, and more. The listing reaches both high-traffic and low-traffic marketplaces without requiring duplicate work. ### **Inventory Protection** Crosslisting only works when inventory stays synchronized. Vendoo automatically detects sales and removes sold inventory from connected marketplaces. If an item sells on eBay first, it can automatically be removed from other marketplaces, helping prevent double-selling and order cancellations. For resellers managing hundreds or thousands of listings, this protection is critical.   [![](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8731369/interactive-195472669762.png) ](https://blog.vendoo.co/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLK7hmdgovg%2B4mtzCQ0v%2FMg%2FY3EyZzM52QEYqIe1UgKdPYMb2U6dGp0u%2BUlgk907Be3xnSJL86VMGcX42N4yptFZ782ezsYEXus42H2ZU2h6sQ1Q2HL3p0QVBCAxH%2FNk9vqd30h3lP2Y%2BQ8YDuWBR0feP3%2FG5PpRDYUVN5MsY5kK4HI69PP8Xy0bsz8rLIQ8jv7CQ7YgY0NTKwjtF4J2Il0DqxwgOGEZ1uj3r9svVpeIpgqGVmZzV4XQscolgSNzdr2KV5cPMBILh3e3U6kTYULGu6y8%2F4Y%3D&webInteractiveContentId=195472669762&portalId=8731369)   ## Conclusion: Is TrueGether Legit? ![What is Truegether](https://blog.vendoo.co/hs-fs/hubfs/What%20is%20Truegether.webp?width=1000&height=577&name=What%20is%20Truegether.webp) Yes, TrueGether is a safe and legitimate online marketplace. Founded in 2012 and operating out of New York, it is a real company that facilitates transactions through trusted payment providers and offers legitimate selling opportunities. However, sellers should view TrueGether as a supplemental sales channel rather than a replacement for major marketplaces like eBay. The platform's biggest advantage is its fee-free structure. Its biggest weakness is limited buyer traffic. The smartest approach is to capture those potential fee-free sales without investing additional manual labor.

TrueGether is a legitimate marketplace that uses established payment providers such as PayPal and Amazon Pay. Buyer protection is generally provided through those payment processors, and TrueGether also maintains marketplace support resources. ### **Does TrueGether charge final value fees?** No. The standard free tier charges 0% final value fees and 0% commissions on organic sales. Sellers may still incur payment processing fees through PayPal or other payment providers. ### **Can you import eBay listings to TrueGether?** Yes. TrueGether allows sellers to import eBay listings and even transfer existing eBay feedback ratings, making it easier to establish credibility and quickly populate inventory. ### **Why are there so many dropshippers on TrueGether?** Because the platform charges no listing fees, it has a very low barrier to entry. This attracts many dropshippers who replicate listings from other marketplaces, creating more competition and contributing to some buyer complaints about listing quality.   ### Categories - [Crosslist & Inventory (74)](https://blog.vendoo.co/tag/crosslist-inventory) - [Marketplace Strategies (168)](https://blog.vendoo.co/tag/marketplace-strategies) - [Reselling Tips (116)](https://blog.vendoo.co/tag/reselling-tips) - [Vendoo Updates (41)](https://blog.vendoo.co/tag/vendoo-updates) Share this article [![Vendoo Twitter](https://blog.vendoo.co/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Vendoo_March2021/images/twitter%20Ico.svg) ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://blog.vendoo.co/is-trugether-legit&text=Is%20TrueGether%20Legit?%20Our%20Honest%20Thoughts) [![Vendoo Facebook](https://blog.vendoo.co/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Vendoo_March2021/images/facebook%20Icon.svg) ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://blog.vendoo.co/is-trugether-legit) [![Vendoo Linkedin](https://blog.vendoo.co/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Vendoo_March2021/images/linkedin%20Icon.svg) ](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.vendoo.co/is-trugether-legit&title=Is%20TrueGether%20Legit?%20Our%20Honest%20Thoughts) ![Icon sign up to receive Vendoo tips](https://blog.vendoo.co/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Vendoo_March2021/images/cta-icon.svg) Sign up to receive **reseller tips & hacks** straight to your inbox and don't miss a thing! ![Erynn Hamel](https://blog.vendoo.co/hubfs/Erynn%20Avatar-01-1.svg) By Erynn Hamel / June 24, 2026 You might also like #### Related posts [![How to Delete a Depop Listing (2026): Step-by-Step](https://blog.vendoo.co/hs-fs/hubfs/How-to-Delete-Depop-Listing%20Featured%20Image.jpg?length=250&name=How-to-Delete-Depop-Listing%20Featured%20Image.jpg) ### How to Delete a Depop Listing (2026): Step-by-Step See how to delete a Depop listing step by step, when deactivating is the smarter move, and how to clear multiple ... ](https://blog.vendoo.co/how-to-delete-depop-listing) [![How to Sell on Facebook Marketplace: Key Tips for Success](https://blog.vendoo.co/hs-fs/hubfs/A-Resellers-Guide-to-Facebook-Marketplace.jpg?length=250&name=A-Resellers-Guide-to-Facebook-Marketplace.jpg) ### How to Sell on Facebook Marketplace: Key Tips for Success Learn how to sell on Facebook Marketplace with step-by-step guidance, from setting up listings to engaging with buyers. ](https://blog.vendoo.co/a-resellers-guide-to-facebook-marketplace) [![eBay Seller Capital Explained: Requirements, Rates, and more](https://blog.vendoo.co/hs-fs/hubfs/eBay-Seller-Capital-.jpg?length=250&name=eBay-Seller-Capital-.jpg) ### eBay Seller Capital Explained: Requirements, Rates, and more Discover how eBay Seller Capital offers flexible financing solutions for sellers, helping to enhance cash flow, manage ... ](https://blog.vendoo.co/ebay-seller-capital) ### Stay in touch Subscribe to our blog and receive monthly emails with news, articles, tips and tricks about reselling! ![Vendoo Subscribe Blog!](https://blog.vendoo.co/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Vendoo_March2021/images/blog-subscribe-img.svg) - [MARKETPLACES ](https://www.vendoo.co/marketplaces) - [PRICING ](https://www.vendoo.co/pricing) - [CONTACT US](https://www.vendoo.co/contact) - [RESOURCES ](https://www.vendoo.co/resources) - [Blog](https://blog.vendoo.co/) - [Webinars](https://www.vendoo.co/resources#:~:text=Marketplace%20%26%20Reselling-,Webinars,-How%20to%20Grow) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrJolC4RgnVq38r7n6qVTxQ) - [FAQs](https://www.vendoo.co/faqs) - [Help Center](https://help.vendoo.co/en/) - [COMPANY](https://www.vendoo.co/blog/benefits-of-using-a-crossposting-software-for-your-reselling-business#) - [About Us](https://www.vendoo.co/about) - [Affiliate Program](https://www.vendoo.co/referral-program) - [Terms](https://www.vendoo.co/terms) - [Privacy](https://www.vendoo.co/privacy) [![Instagram](https://blog.vendoo.co/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Vendoo_March2021/images/Instagram%20Icon.svg) ](https://www.instagram.com/vendoo.co/) [![Facebook](https://blog.vendoo.co/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Vendoo_March2021/images/facebook%20Icon.svg) ](https://www.facebook.com/groups/507733806482413) [![Youtube](https://blog.vendoo.co/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Vendoo_March2021/images/youtube%20Icon.svg) ](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrJolC4RgnVq38r7n6qVTxQ) [![Twitter](https://blog.vendoo.co/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Vendoo_March2021/images/twitter%20Ico.svg) ](https://twitter.com/vendoo_co) ![Vendoo crosslisting app logo](https://blog.vendoo.co/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Vendoo_March2021/images/vendoo%20logo%20dark.svg) © 2026 Vendoo, Inc.
