# Marketplace & Trading

Sunflower Land has a thriving **player-to-player economy**. The in-game Marketplace lets you trade collectibles, wearables, Buds, Pet NFTs and bulk resources with other players — instantly.

***

## 🏪 The Marketplace

* **List** items for sale or make **offers** on items you want
* Browse price history, top trades and trending items
* All trades settle instantly in **FLOWER**

### Fees

* **Collectibles, wearables, Buds & Pets:** a flat **10% fee** on every sale
* **Resources** (crops, wood, stone, etc.): a higher fee that **decreases as you progress** — from 100% on the Basic Island down to 15% on Volcano Island and beyond. **VIP halves** your resource fee, and an active **Trading Shrine** reduces it further.
* Resources also have **per-listing limits** (e.g. up to 4,000 Sunflowers per trade) to keep markets healthy

## 🎁 Trade Points

Every FLOWER trade of collectibles, wearables, Buds or Pets earns **Trade Points**. Spend them in the **Trade Rewards Shop** on exclusive items — a loyalty program for active traders.

***

## 🔨 Auctions

The **Auction House** is where limited-supply drops happen:

* Bids are placed in **tickets** — each ticket costs FLOWER plus the auction's ingredients
* More tickets = higher rank; the top bidders win the supply
* Ties are broken by **ascension level, then Bumpkin level, then XP**
* Each auction has a **per-chapter win limit**, so drops spread across the community
* Didn't win? Your bid is fully **refunded**

## 🔒 Good to Know

* Buying a farm NFT triggers a **90-day lock** on trading and withdrawals for that farm
* Newly released chapter items have **trade & withdrawal release dates** — check an item's page for when it unlocks
* Items with fixed on-chain supply (like auction rewards) are settled on-chain; everything else trades instantly in-game
