Frequently asked questions

+Do I pay commission?

SurplusBuilder is free to list. Commission applies only on facilitated payment flows.

+What's the difference between peg, pantile and plain?

Peg tiles hang from wooden pegs (hand-made pre-1900). Pantiles are S-shaped. Plain tiles are standard rectangles.

+How do I handle timewasters?

Require a small refundable deposit for viewings, or set 'collection ready with payment' terms.
