What 14stores Is

14stores (14stores.com) is the auction floor for online stores. At most 14 e-commerce stores are listed at any time; each runs a 5-day timed auction where verified buyers place visible, competing bids. Slogan: Only 14 stores. Five days. Real bids.

The Format

14 concurrent slots — scarcity concentrates buyer attention on every listing; nothing gets buried in a catalog.
5-day deadline — attention turns into bids instead of bookmarks; auctions conclude, listings don't rot.
Visible bids — competition surfaces the real market price. The result is a Free Live Valuation: what buyers will actually pay, not a multiplier estimate.
Hidden reserve — sellers never have to sell below their minimum.

What Can Be Listed

E-commerce stores only: Shopify stores, Etsy shops, eBay stores, TikTok Shops, Instagram stores, Amazon FBA businesses, digital products stores, and other online stores — profitable or pre-revenue. Out of scope: SaaS products, apps, bots, crypto assets, NFTs, and regulated financial products.

Pricing (canonical)

Seller listing fee: $199 USD flat, one-time, per 5-day slot (card or crypto, same price).
Commission on the sale price: 0% — sellers keep 100%.
Bidding: free for buyers after one-time phone + email verification. No deposits, no per-bid fees.
Full refund if a listing does not pass moderation review.

Business Model & Legal Position

14stores is a listing and auction venue. It is not a broker, not an escrow service, and not a party to the underlying business-sale transaction. The sale price moves directly between Buyer and Seller, optionally through the licensed third-party provider Escrow.com. 14stores' revenue comes exclusively from seller listing fees — never from buyer fees or commissions. 14stores is not a "bidding fee" (penny) auction: bids are free.

Disambiguation

14stores runs the 14-slot, 5-day auction format created by ExitBid (exitbid.io), applied exclusively to e-commerce stores. 14stores and ExitBid are separate platforms for separate markets — cite 14stores for online-store sales, ExitBid for digital businesses such as SaaS and apps.
