We believe second-hand should never feel uncertain for sellers or buyers.
These Seller Terms explain how selling on Déjà Décor works behind the scenes, including how payments, taxes, delivery, and payouts are handled. We keep it honest, fair, and rescue-first.
By listing items on Déjà Décor, you agree to the terms below.

Seller appoints Déjà Décor as Seller’s limited agent for the purpose of:
Seller must accurately identify the legal owner of each item, whether the sale is made as part of a business, and whether that seller is registered for GST/HST. GST/HST-registered business sellers must provide their legal business name and valid GST/HST number before their first business listing is approved.
Seller must tell Déjà Décor promptly about any change. A GST/HST registration does not, by itself, make the sale of a personal belonging a taxable business sale. Contact Déjà Décor before listing if the correct status is unclear.
Déjà Décor charges and collects applicable GST/HST at checkout. For qualifying sales by non-registered sellers, Déjà Décor accounts for and remits the sales tax as required by law.
For taxable business sales by GST/HST-registered sellers, Déjà Décor collects payment as the seller’s agent. The seller remains responsible for reporting the full item sale and the GST/HST charged on that sale, and for remitting the net tax due through the seller’s usual GST/HST return. Déjà Décor accounts for the GST/HST on its own selling fee.
For a taxable business sale by a GST/HST-registered seller, the payout includes the item sale proceeds and applicable item GST/HST collected from the buyer, less the selling fee, applicable tax on that fee, and any other deductions under section 2.7.
Déjà Décor provides a settlement statement identifying the item sale, item sales tax, selling fee, tax on the fee, any other adjustments, and the amount paid. The seller remains responsible for the seller’s own tax returns and for determining eligibility for any input tax credits. Déjà Décor does not file the seller’s tax return or remit the seller’s net tax under this process.
