Dear SoleSavy Member,

Our ambition has always been to make it more fun to be into sneakers. We’ve hit some big milestones along the way – selling over $2M worth of sneakers for retail, and hosting over $500k in prizes. Now there’s an even bigger milestone to hit, by introducing COLLECT by SoleSavy.

So, what’s the vision? To be the opposite of every marketplace you’ve used before.

That started with building Trades as a core functionality. Finally you can buy, sell, and trade – all in one app. We also wanted to make transacting safer for buyers, so we’ve set up identity verification through KYC for every member. And because we have members, we’re not relying on transactions to make a profit, so you won’t pay any additional SoleSavy fees when you buy, sell, and trade.

We’re fortunate to be in a position where we build with and for our members. So when we launch, don’t hesitate to drop us feedback in your community.

Know Your Customer (KYC) is the identity verification process that COLLECT implemented to ensure all members on the app are who they say they are.
- SoleSavy works with Stripe to conduct KYC. Stripe builds technology that’s used by companies around the world like Amazon, Google, and Zoom.
- Banks and other financial institutions are legally required to comply with KYC in order to prevent financial crimes and fraud.
- Verification credentials can include a few different things like ID card verification, face verification, document verification, and address verification. In our case, SoleSavy asks users to submit a government-issued identification document (like a driver's license or passport), along with a selfie taken from within the Collect app.
Members are only required to go through the validation process once. Until their identity is verified, they’re unable to proceed with:
- Listing items for sale on the marketplace
- Making an offer on a listed item
- Buying an item

SoleSavy screens potential members to protect all members from reselling. We also continuously monitor the community to make sure that there is not any reselling behavior. If we have sufficient evidence proving someone is a reseller, we will remove them from the community.
However, if a member initially purchased sneakers above retail, and they want to sell them for the same price that they paid for them, they can do so. The seller just also needs to provide a receipt that shows that they paid a higher cost.
Starting on Jan 1, 2022, marketplaces are required by the IRS to issue a Form 1099-K for all sellers who receive $600 or more in sales.
You only pay taxes on profits you make above $600. For example, if you bought a pair of sneakers and sold it for retail, or if you made a trade, these transactions would not be taxed. For example,
- If you buy a sneaker for $200 and sell it for $200, this would not require payment of taxes.
- If you trade a sneaker for another sneaker, this is also not a taxable event for 1099-K purposes.
- If you buy a sneaker for $200 and sell it for $400, you have profited $200 and if your sales YTD are high enough you would be required to claim that income as per the IRS tax reporting requirements.
SoleSavy will provide sellers who need a 1099-K for the 2022 tax season by January 2023.
