From people who actually made the switch.
"I had tried to sell on other sites with limited success due to high fees and no seller controls. When I found Peer, the seller vetting process stood out — customers could be comfortable buying from new sellers."
"As a long-time gold & silver coin dealer, other platform fees increased to the point it wasn't worth it anymore. On PeerMetals the selling fees are much less. Now my business is making more profit."
"PeerMetals is an extremely transparent marketplace — working with them has been a pleasure. Responsive admins, constantly upgrading site functions, and a strong social media presence are huge pros."
"Selling on Peer Metals has been nothing but an excellent experience. The platform is simple to use, payments are prompt, and the devs are eager to listen."
