How selling works
List your units
Enter the quantity and the price, tick the seller declaration, and send us something showing the units are yours, such as a screenshot of your Register account details. Your listing then goes live.
A buyer commits
Buyers can take the whole lot or part of it. The buyer pays the full amount into escrow with Carbon Trader. You are told the moment that happens. This is the point where we check ID, once, for you and for the buyer.
Transfer the units
With the money safely held, you transfer the units on the Emissions Trading Register. If your units are in a Carbon Trader wallet, this step is done for you.
Get paid
We confirm the units arrived and release the full sale price to your bank account. There is no success fee. You get a settlement statement for your records.

Sign in with your Carbon Tracker login. Press Sell beside the units in My Forest, My Farm or My Obligations, and the quantity is filled in for you here.
Open Carbon TrackerWhat it costs
$29 including GST per listing, paid by the seller. There is no success fee, so you receive the full sale price.
An invoice for $29.00 is emailed to you when your listing goes live, payable by bank transfer using the short reference on the invoice. Your listing does not wait on payment. Extending a listing, or relisting the same units, is free until they sell.
Selling questions
Will buyers see who I am?
No. A listing shows the quantity, the price, where the units are held and the closing date. Your name and business are not shown.
Do I need to prove who I am to list?
No. You can register and list with an email and a password. We check ID once, when a buyer has committed and the trade goes into escrow, because that is when money is held for you.
Do I send my units to Carbon Trader first?
No. Your units stay in your own Register account while they are listed. You transfer them only after the buyer's money is in escrow.
What price should I ask?
That is your decision. Most sellers match the daily market reference, which keeps the listing in line with the wider market, and add a floor so it never sells below a figure they are happy with.
Can I change or withdraw my listing?
Yes. You can change the price or the closing date, or withdraw the listing, any time before a buyer commits.
How long does a listing run?
You choose the closing date, with a minimum of four weeks. If it has not sold, you can extend it in one click, at no charge.
What does it cost?
A listing costs $29.00 including GST. The invoice is emailed to you when your listing goes live and is paid by bank transfer, using the short reference on the invoice. There is no success fee, so you receive the full sale price. Extending a listing, or relisting the same units, is free until they sell. A new listing is a new $29.
