Sellers: entirely free
$0 to list. $0 when you sell. No final value fee. No “gotcha” deductions. If your item sells for $100, you receive $100 from the buyer.
About DontHurtUs.com
A fair auction marketplace — built by a seller who got tired of the nonsense.
Why we exist
DontHurtUs.com was started by Abdou Traya, a long-time eBay seller known as AbdouExpress. After years of listing, shipping, and building a real business on eBay, the fees kept climbing, the rules kept changing, and the platform kept finding new ways to take a cut — while sellers did all the work.
Abdou listened to hundreds of disgruntled eBay sellers with the same story: list for $100, lose $13–$20 to fees, fight arbitrary policy changes, and watch buyers and sellers get squeezed in the middle. Enough.
DontHurtUs is the answer — live auctions, real-time bidding, and a simple promise: sellers keep 100% of the sale price. List for $100, get $100.
Founded by Abdou Traya
Abdou also runs Abdou Express — the retail side of the same operation — and has sold on eBay at scale for years. That experience shaped every decision here: no listing fees, no final value fees, no platform reaching into seller payouts.
Live auctions
Real-time bidding powered by server-sent events. Watch prices update instantly — no refresh, no stale listings.
Free for buyers too
No buyer fees. You pay the seller the listed price — nothing extra at checkout. Selling is also entirely free: list for $100, get $100.
Buyer ↔ seller direct
Payment is always arranged between buyer and seller — e-Transfer, cash, PayPal, or whatever you agree on. We do not hold seller money and we do not act as the payment processor for your sale.
