Detailed Review
Shpock started as a mobile flea-market app and is operated by finderly GmbH & Co. KG in the Icon Tower business centre in Vienna. Its contact page lists FN 571824 v at Handelsgericht Wien and UID ATU 77635846.
Two things set Shpock apart in this list: a PayPal-based commission for sellers, and a content licence that outlives the account.
What does a seller pay on Shpock?
The terms call basic functions free. When a sale goes through PayPal on the platform, the seller owes the operator a commission incl. VAT on the total, and the buyer pays only the item price.
The percentage itself is missing from the terms page.
What happens to photos and texts posted on Shpock?
Users grant finderly a non-exclusive licence to use posted content, and the terms keep that right in place after account deletion. Think twice before uploading original photography.
Limitations to Consider
The commission rate is unknown, Shpock+ prices appear only inside the apps, and the content licence survives account deletion. Hosting and ownership were not stated.
Who Should Use Shpock
Mobile-first sellers in Austria and neighbouring markets who are fine with PayPal handling and a wide content licence.
