Reverb Bump: Definition, Formula & Why It Matters
Also called: Bump fee, Reverb promoted listings
Bump is Reverb’s optional promoted-placement program. You set a rate from 0.5% to 30% (in 0.5% increments; Reverb suggests 5%) and are only charged that percentage of the sale when a Bumped listing sells. It stacks on top of the selling and processing fees.
Reverb Bump formula
Example
A 5% Bump on a $550 sale adds $27.50 in Bump fees on top of the other fees.
Why it matters for Reverb sellers
Bump is the one fee you fully control, and it comes straight out of your margin. Used well it earns back more visibility than it costs; used carelessly on thin-margin gear it quietly erases your profit.
