Our Mission at Pewcentric is to empower entrepreneurs in the gun community by fostering connections to buyers who want to enhance their firearms experience with unique and bespoke products and services.
Why sell on Pewcentric? We want to be the go-to destination for all the makers, inventors, athletes, experts, and coaches who enrich firearms ownership. We want to help you grow your business by
Expanding your base of prospective customers, not only through the Pewcentric marketplace itself but through our proactive community outreach and engagement
Providing you with the tools to manage your business, so you can focus on creating unique products and services
Focused customer base of gun enthusiasts
Our buyers come from the firearms community, and they are actively looking for unique and bespoke products and services.
Why? We want to provide you an alternative to general-purpose sites like ebay and Etsy, where you are just a drop in the ocean and barely tolerated
Videos and Social Media Engagement
Our buyers want to know the person behind the item, and what motivates you. We will produce short but impactful videos of you and your items that we will share broadly.
Why? We want to help prospective buyers discover you on the platforms they use every day.
Live Humans not AI Bots
When you become a seller on Pewcentric, you will be assigned a Seller Advocate, who is a real human you can actually talk to to help you every step of the way from creating listings to dealing with customer issues.
Why? Many sellers are frustrated by working with faceless companies with complicated policies and unreachable customer support. Whether you are tech-phobic or just looking to expand your business, we’re here for you.
Personalized Online Store
You can direct buyers to your own Pewcentric page – e.g. pewcentric.com/shop/yourname – without having to create your own website, credit card merchant account, etc.
Why? We want to help you focus on what you love: creating unique products and services… we’ll handle the rest
Original, just like you
Every product and service listed on the marketplace is original and unique… no cheap knockoff or mass-produced items.
Why? There is nothing more frustrating than going to the effort of invention, only to find that someone else is taking business from you with an inferior copy. We weed those sellers out.
Easy and Affordable Payment Processing
Our transaction fees are lower than Etsy and ebay, and you can setup your own store and start receiving payment within minutes.
Why? Whether your passion is a side hustle or your next big thing, we offer an easy and cost-effective solution to turn your creativity into $$.
Our slogan is “Everything but the Guns”... which is shorthand for “any product or service consistent with our Mission AND not prohibited.”
Why? Pewcentric fills the gap between megaretailers (like Amazon), generalist marketplaces (like Etsy), and firearms marketplaces (like GunBroker), and our policies reflect that focus. All listings are reviewed by the Pewcentric team before they go live on our marketplace to ensure that we’ve curated a marketplace that lives up to our mission. This is what we look for:
Products and Services consistent with our Mission
We’re about celebrating the human touch: products and services from the makers, inventors, experts looking to connect with the gun community. If you want a mass-produced item made cheaply and without care, go look elsewhere because it’s not going to make it into our marketplace.
We want listings that are made, designed, handpicked, or sourced by individuals and small businesses in our community. We exclude listings that are mass-produced and cheap knock-offs.
Not Prohibited
We’ve designed our marketplace to have the broadest reach possible, without restriction on age or location. So beyond the obvious (i.e. nothing illegal), we additionally filter items that are regulated (e.g. weapons, ammo, reloading supplies) or inappropriate for the marketplace (e.g. pornography).
We’re not a huge corporation with AI filtering all the listings: we’re real people and happy to work with you individually to address any questions or concerns.

Pewcentric is focused on providing value to sellers, otherwise you wouldn’t bother. In a nutshell:
Listing Fee
One-time fee to list an item on the marketplace, regardless of how many units you sell
$10.00
Payment Processing Fee
Per-sale fee to cover the cost of collecting payment, e.g. credit card
3% + $0.25
Transaction Fee
Per-sale fee to cover cost of running the marketplace
5%
That’s it… fair and straightforward. A frequent question is why our listing fee ($10) is high relative to other marketplaces (e.g. Etsy’s listing fee is $0.20 for 4 months). Simply put, it’s because we’re doing so much more for you and your business:
Creating video content
Publishing and promoting you and your business
Actual humans you can talk to in order to help setup your Pewcentric landing page and listings
etc.
In other words, we’re not just a website ⇒ we’re your partner to help grow your reach.
