The journey, step by step
What happens on a real online shop seller from sign-up to your first withdrawal, and how long each part takes. In total: 2 weeks to 3 months.
-
Create your Shpock account
Every earning app starts with an account tied to your real name and email. Here you sign up as a demo person, so nothing about you is used.
Typical estimate About 5 minutes
-
Log in to Shpock
Real apps ask you to confirm your email and often turn on two-step login. Never reuse a password from another site, and only ever type it on the real site.
Typical estimate A minute
-
Complete your Shpock profile
Your profile is your shop window: photo, headline, skills and price. Buyers compare it with everyone else's before they pick you.
Typical estimate 1 to 2 hours to set up a shop
-
Verify your identity
Most platforms check your ID before you can withdraw money. It stops fraud and is required by payment laws.
Typical estimate ID checks often take minutes, sometimes a day or two
-
Wait for Shpock to approve you
Platforms control who joins. Some let you in instantly, others review profiles, vet applications or keep a waitlist when they have enough people.
Typical estimate Instant: you can start right away
-
List an item and get an order on Shpock
A listing needs a clear title, photos and a price. Buyers find it through search, so the first order can take a while.
Typical estimate A first sale can take weeks: listing, views, then an order
-
Pack and ship the order
Pack the item safely, buy a label and mark it shipped with tracking so the buyer and the platform can follow it.
Typical estimate Pack and ship within 1 to 3 days
-
Get approved and reviewed
The buyer confirms the order is done and leaves a rating. Early reviews matter most: they decide who sees you next.
Typical estimate Complete when delivered, often 3 to 10 days
-
Shpock takes its fee
What the buyer pays is not what you keep. The platform fee comes off first, then your own costs.
Typical estimate Instant
-
Wait for Shpock to clear the money
New earnings sit as "pending" for a while so refunds and disputes can be handled. You cannot withdraw them yet.
Typical estimate Often a few days to a week
-
Withdraw from Shpock
Pick a payout method and confirm. Bank transfers take a few days, wallets and instant cards can be faster but may charge a fee.
From Shpock's published rules Usually 1 to 5 days to arrive
Payout methods on Shpock: PayPal, bank transfer, cash.
