How It Works

1

List for Free

Create a listing for your commercial machinery — 2-post lifts, tire machines, compressors, diagnostic equipment. No upfront fees, no listing charges.

2

Secure the Buyer

The verified buyer pays a mandatory holding deposit into the Trustap Escrow Vault before you arrange collection. You know the deal is real before anything moves.

3

The Handover

The remaining balance is transferred via secure Open Banking — bank fee capped at £100. Full seller protection. Zero invoice fraud.

4

Release Assets

Funds are confirmed in escrow. The machinery leaves your yard. No bounced transfers, no disputed invoices, no payment reversals after collection.

Why Equipment Sellers Choose PistonTribe

Built to eliminate every B2B payment risk you face when selling heavy machinery.

Zero Invoice Fraud

B2B invoice fraud is one of the fastest-growing commercial scams. With PistonTribe, funds are locked in Trustap's regulated Escrow Vault before your machinery moves — no invoice, no cheque, no risk.

Keep More of Your Margin

Commercial auctioneers charge listing fees plus buyer's premiums that eat into your return. PistonTribe charges a small fixed seller fee — you keep significantly more on every piece of equipment you sell.

KYB Verified Business Buyers

Every business buyer passes KYB verification before they can place a deposit. You know exactly who's collecting your equipment.

Secure Open Banking

All remaining balances are transferred via regulated Open Banking. No cash on site, no bounced cheques, no payment reversals after the handover.
