The bounty never passes through us

Status: Payouts are coming soon. Until they launch, pledging only saves a payment method: no card is charged and no money is held.

Post a bounty for the part nobody makes any more. Another maker fulfils it and is paid directly — no platform cut on bounties.

Post a bountyFind a bounty to make

Get offers before you commit. Makers can offer to make your part: your posted price or one counter, with when it will be ready and whether it is pickup or shipping. Only you see the offers. You choose one, and that price is locked. Making or choosing an offer costs nothing and charges no card.

When you accept a solution, the charge is created on the maker’s own Stripe account with application_fee_amount set to 0. We are not in the middle of it and we never hold the bounty — and you do not have to believe that, because both sides can check it: the maker reads the PaymentIntent in their own Stripe dashboard, and your card statement carries the maker’s business name, not ours. How the money moves.

The other half of that, said here rather than buried: because the money goes straight to the maker, it also comes back out of the maker. A refunded bounty is debited from their balance, Stripe keeps the processing fee on the original charge, and a card dispute adds Stripe’s own fee on top. Today the maker carries all three. What a dispute costs, in dollars.

What to ask for

The bounties that get solved are specific and small. A gear-alignment pin for a saw that is backordered with no production date. A cracked key fob shell. A discontinued shower cartridge. A trim clip nobody stocks. A jig, a slicer profile, a STEP file, a wiring drawing. If you can photograph it next to a ruler, it is a bounty.
