Wholesale Listings

The ability to buy and sell wholesale animals is now live!

Starting today, approved sellers with a paid membership can view, buy, and sell wholesale animals.

This new feature opens up new opportunities for you to expand your business and reach a wider audience. While participation is not mandatory, we highly recommend exploring the wholesale option. By participating in wholesale, you can increase your visibility on the platform and attract bulk buyers who are ready to make significant purchases.

Sellers have the ability to set their own default wholesale store policy.

To locate wholesale listings, use the "Wholesale" tab under your desired category or click on the "Wholesale" check box in the filters. The wholesale pricing will also be listed on the individual animal listing page.

MorphMarket Sales Event

MorphMadness Site Wide Sale Event

We're excited to announce MorphMarket’s very first MorphMadness Sale Event. This event will be taking place from October 29th, 2023 to November 4th, 2023.

Our goal is to make this an unforgettable experience for both sellers and buyers. That's why we're pulling out all the stops to boost site activity and make your sales soar. We will also be featuring participating listings on our socials during this time period.

How to Participate

Participation is entirely up to you, but we highly recommend joining in on the fun.

During MorphMadness, we're breaking free from the usual sale restrictions. Normally, you can activate sales for 72 hours once per renewal cycle. However, for this event, all sellers can list their animals for the entire 7 days, regardless of previous sales. This is a great opportunity to boost your sales and reach a wider audience.

To learn more about how to activate sales, click here. Please note: Bulk Actions to activate sales are now available!

Animals at Expos

Now you can find animals that will be available for purchase or pickup at expos!

Reptile expos are a crucial part of the hobby. They attract many new enthusiasts and boost sales for breeders. We recognize their immense value to all of us. That's why MorphMarket is taking expo support to the next level.

On our expos page, you can find upcoming shows and the vendors participating in them.

With our newest feature:

  • Sellers can now tag the animals they'll have available for purchase at a specific expo (on the new edit animal page).
  • Buyers can easily view these animals in search using the filter "Expo Pickup," enabling pre-sales.

Buyers can inquire about an animal beforehand and arrange for pickup at the expo. This makes the whole process straightforward and hassle-free.

We've made an update to how the system automatically renews ads. Now, it will continually renew older ads instead of doing so in very large batches causing certain ads to get buried very quickly.

When ads are renewed, they jump to the front of applicable user searches. Listings are eligible for renewal every several weeks depending on a seller's plan level. This helps give more attention to older listings that are still available.

Listings have always been automatically renewed for sellers with a Standard Membership or higher, unless they have disabled this feature. In the past, auto-renewals for all eligible listings took place each night at a single time. This led to thousands of ads being renewed at once leading to an inferior browsing experience, with pages and pages of ads jumping to the front at the same time.

With this update, automatic renewals now continually occur throughout the day. Generally, listings will be auto-renewed at the same time of day when they were first listed (for new listings from this point onward). Also, sellers with auto-renewal are unlikely to see their ads ever show up as eligible for renewal since they should be auto-renewed very quickly.

Slight changes were made to bulk import as well. When new listings are bulk imported or bulk listed for the first time, they are now scheduled at times throughout the day. The system will try to schedule them a few minutes apart, but over a period that will not exceed 24 hours.
