What is a Solaire wallet/account
A Solaire Wallet/Account is designed to hold the Digital Product Passport or Digital ID of physical goods. Each wallet/account is created for the item owner on blockchain with a unique key, ensuring it is both unique and secure. The account/wallet can be created and accessed using the owner's email with a one-time passcode. Through the wallet, users can easily gift or resell their physical items securely, peer-to-peer, to anyone via a private link online via social media or in-person. The Solaire wallet handles everything, including payment, escrow, logistics, self-authentication, and dispute management.
Resale listing and pricing
To list an item for resale, go to the wallet menu and select "Sell This Item." Sellers must provide an accurate description and upload recent photos of the item's condition. Refer to the Item Condition section for guidance on describing your item accurately.
Sellers can choose between setting a fixed price or creating an auction. Once a buyer accepts the price or wins the auction, the transaction becomes binding, and the seller must complete the sale at the agreed price.
Sellers are responsible for covering shipping costs, so they can set shipping restrictions and should factor shipping expenses into the sale price. There are no additional fees deducted from the seller’s earnings.
How to grade my item

Like New: The item has been opened or used minimally but remains in pristine condition with no visible signs of wear. It may include original packaging and accessories.
