Absolutely not! We believe in transparent, direct green trade. EcoScrap has zero brokerage, zero commissions, and zero transaction fees. Buyers and sellers transact directly outside the platform. Our mission is to strengthen MSME margins and support the circular economy.

Buyers and sellers can communicate directly through the verified contact numbers listed on each scrap post. We support single-click calling and direct chat to make coordination fast and seamless.

We support five primary industrial categories:
- Metal Scrap: Copper wires, structural steel, aluminium sheets, alloy blocks.
- Electronic Waste: Processor chips, gold motherboards, computer circuits, servers.
- Battery Scrap: Heavy lead-acid car batteries, lithium-ion industrial arrays.
- Paper Scrap: OCC Grade 11 cardboard bales, kraft paper rolls.
- Plastic Scrap: PET bottles, HDPE industrial sheets, polypropylene blocks.

No. EcoScrap does not permit the listing of unauthorized toxic or hazardous chemicals. All battery and electronic waste recyclers must hold valid State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) permits to trade industrial battery scrap.

We verify user identity using multi-layered mobile verification. Additionally, registered businesses can submit corporate GST details or MSME numbers to earn the premium green "Verified Trader" badge. This minimizes security risks and increases trust across the network.

We highly recommend all traders to adhere to standard safety and transaction guidelines:
1. Always inspect the scrap materials physically at the seller's warehouse before completing payments.
2. Verify the quality weight using calibrated weighbridge scales.
3. Transact using secure bank accounts or RTGS methods rather than untraceable cash.
