Frequently Asked Questions
What is FoundEtc?
FoundEtc is a simple software platform that makes secondhand perfectly findable. It helps shoppers explore nearby resale shops and uncover hidden gems—and helps resellers turn their shelves into searchable, shoppable inventory.
How does it work?
Resellers snap photos of their inventory using our simple upload tools. FoundEtc organizes and tags the items behind the scenes, making them searchable by shoppers at home or in the store. Shoppers can browse by item, category, or location—then head out to shop in person, armed with a plan (and a little excitement).
How does FoundEtc keep inventory up-to-date?
Vendors and market owners snap fresh photos every few weeks—no need to track every item manually. FoundEtc detects what’s new, what’s gone, and updates each item’s “last seen” date.
It’s not a real-time POS system—it’s a smart discovery tool that helps customers find specific items (and similar ones!) without needing to browse every shelf. Think of it as a helpful guide, not a checkout counter.
Who is FoundEtc for?
FoundEtc is built for resale lovers of all kinds. Whether you’re a flea market vendor, a local thrift shop, or a vintage boutique, we make it easier to get found and make more sales. And for shoppers? If you love the thrill of a good secondhand find, but hate feeling overwhelmed, FoundEtc is your new best friend.
Why FoundEtc?
Because secondhand shouldn’t mean second-best. FoundEtc was created to make resale shopping easier, more joyful, and more sustainable—for everyone.
We help shoppers find what they’re looking for (or something even better), while helping local vendors get discovered and grow their business. It’s all about supporting the circular economy, celebrating the charm of pre-loved items, and keeping resale thriving in a modern world.
Is it free?
Yes! FoundEtc is completely free for shoppers. Markets and vendors can choose from flexible subscription plans based on the size of their inventory and the features they need—starting with a free tier to help you get started.
Can customers buy items through FoundEtc?
Not yet. FoundEtc is built to support in-person shopping. Shoppers use it to search for available items, discover new vendors, and plan their visit—but all purchases happen directly at your market or store.
Our goal is to connect curious shoppers to one-of-a-kind finds, driving more foot traffic and boosting your in-store sales.
