Fanvault Sell button is a one-tap launcher that sits at the top of your dashboard sidebar and starts a new auction or buy-it-now listing in seconds, whether you are selling physical memorabilia or a digital drop. It is part of a sidebar refresh that also promotes My Storefront to the core nav, so the path from idea to live listing is now the shortest it has ever been on Fanvault.
⚡ Key Takeaways

- Listings can go from idea to live in under three minutes once you know the flow.
Where does the new Sell button live?
The Sell button is a glowing pink pill anchored at the top of your creator dashboard sidebar, above every other nav item. It is hard to miss by design. One click opens the new listing sheet from any page, so you never have to dig through menus to start a drop.
Alongside the Sell pill, My Storefront has been promoted into the core sidebar nav. The two changes work together. Launch a listing from anywhere, then jump straight to the storefront to manage bids, answer questions, and line up the next drop.
What can you sell from one tap?
Pretty much everything in Fanvault's monetization stack. The first question the Sell sheet asks is whether you are listing a physical item or a digital drop. From there you pick auction or buy-it-now, and the rest of the flow adapts to the format you chose.
- Physical: signed memorabilia, stream-worn apparel, tournament gear, props, one-of-ones
- Digital: photo sets, video bundles, exclusive content packs, paywalled drops
- Auction format: proxy bidding, reserve prices, anti-snipe extended-bidding windows
- Buy-it-now format: limited and multi-quantity releases
How does the listing flow actually work?
The whole path is built to take under three minutes for an experienced seller and under ten for a first-timer. Here is the full sequence from tap to live listing.
- Tap the Sell pill. From any page in your dashboard, click the glowing pink button at the top of the sidebar. The new listing sheet opens immediately as a slide-over.
- Pick physical or digital. This is the only branching question in the flow. Each path only shows the fields that matter for that format, so there is no clutter to scroll past.
- Choose auction or buy-it-now. Auctions work best when scarcity is your story. Buy-it-now is cleaner for predictable drops with a fixed price and quantity.
- Upload photos and write the story. Three to eight photos perform best. The story field is where you tell fans why this item exists and what makes it yours.
- Tag provenance if it is memorabilia. Signed, worn, and condition show up as badges on the public listing. Provenance metadata is a big part of why authenticated memorabilia commands the prices it does.
- Set price, duration, and shipping. Confirm your starting bid or buy-it-now price, pick how long the listing runs, and review the shipping defaults. Shippo-powered labels and tracking are already wired into your account.
- Review and publish. A preview shows exactly what fans will see in your storefront. One more click and the listing is live, with the Fanvault fee at 8% and you keeping 92%.
Why is My Storefront in the core nav now?
Because the storefront is where the money lives, and the old nav buried it one click too deep. Moving My Storefront into the core sidebar makes the loop tighter. Launch from the Sell pill, then watch the listing land in your storefront in the same session.
It also signals where Fanvault's product is heading. The storefront is the differentiator that brings the $30B+ sports-memorabilia model to creators whose fans already treat them like athletes. Making it a first-class nav item reflects that.
What does this unlock for your business?
Speed. The friction between thinking of a drop and getting it live used to mean hopping between settings, storefront, and listing pages. Now it is one tap from anywhere on Fanvault. The faster you can react to a moment (a tournament win, a milestone stream, a hot DM thread), the more of those moments turn into revenue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Sell button located on Fanvault?
The Sell button is a glowing pink pill at the very top of your creator dashboard sidebar, above every other nav item. It is available from every page in your dashboard, so you can start a new listing without navigating away from whatever you are working on.
Can I sell both physical items and digital content from the Sell button?
Yes. The first question the listing sheet asks is whether you are creating a physical or digital drop. Physical covers signed memorabilia, stream-worn apparel, tournament gear, props, and one-of-ones. Digital covers paywalled photo sets, video bundles, and exclusive content packs.
What is the difference between an auction and a buy-it-now listing?
Auctions use proxy bidding with optional reserve prices and anti-snipe extended-bidding windows, which means the highest-stakes seconds of a sale cannot be sniped at the buzzer. Buy-it-now drops are simpler. You set a fixed price and a quantity, and fans buy until you sell out. Use auctions when scarcity is your story, buy-it-now when you have predictable inventory.
How much does Fanvault take when something sells?
Fanvault's platform fee is 8% per transaction. Creators keep 92%. That is lower than Fanvue (15%), Passes (10% plus a $0.30 transaction fee), and Fanfix (around 20%).
Do I need a separate shipping account to use the Sell button?
No. Shippo-powered labels, tracking, and guest checkout are wired into every Fanvault creator account by default. When you set up a physical listing, you confirm your shipping defaults once and the rest is handled inside Fanvault.
