What is Brand My X?
BrandMyX is a marketplace where you turn something you already own into a tiny billboard. You photograph the object — a laptop, a bike, a water bottle, anything — and draw boxes on the photo marking where a sticker could go. Brands then bid real money, in a public auction or an instant buy-now price, to put their logo in one of those boxes as a real die-cut vinyl sticker. You stick it on, photograph the proof, and Stripe releases the payment to you. Right now the first ones are just going up, and no spot has sold yet.
How it actually works
- 1. Someone lists an object. They photograph it, draw one or more sticker-sized ad spots on the photo, and set a price for each — a starting bid, a buy-now price, or both.
- 2. Brands bid or buy. Anyone can browse live listings and win a spot by out-bidding the current top offer or paying the buy-now price outright. Bidding saves a card, but nothing is charged unless the bid wins.
- 3. Stripe holds the money. The charge sits with Stripe, not with the object's owner, from the moment a spot sells.
- 4. The sticker goes on, then gets photographed. The owner sticks the winning logo onto the real object and uploads a photo proving it's there.
- 5. The owner gets paid. Once the buyer's 72-hour dispute window passes with no issue raised, BrandMyX takes a 20% fee and releases the rest to the owner.

Questions people actually ask
What is BrandMyX?
BrandMyX is a marketplace where people photograph objects they own, draw ad-spot boxes onto the photo, and brands bid real money to put a vinyl sticker in one of those spots. The owner sticks it on, photographs it, and gets paid once that proof photo is confirmed.
How do I make money from something I own?
Photograph the object, draw one or more sticker-sized boxes on the photo, set a starting price or a buy-now price, and publish. Brands bid or buy instantly. When a spot sells, you print or receive the sticker, put it on, upload a photo of it in place, and the payout releases once the buyer's dispute window closes.
How does a brand know the ad is real?
Every listing shows the actual photo the spot is on, and every sale ends with the owner posting a timestamped photo of the sticker actually stuck on. There's no ad network in between — the brand can see the object and the sticker with their own eyes.
Is my money safe if I bid on a spot?
Stripe holds the payment the moment you win or buy a spot — it doesn't reach the object's owner yet. It only releases after the owner posts a sticker photo and a 72-hour dispute window passes with no issue raised. Miss the photo deadline and you get an automatic full refund.
How much does it cost to list something?
Listing is free. BrandMyX takes a 20% cut only when a spot actually sells and pays out — nothing is charged for photographing an object, drawing spots, or publishing a listing that never sells.
What happens if the sticker photo never shows up?
The buyer gets an automatic full refund. Listers have 14 days from a sale to post proof the sticker is on; missing that deadline reverses the charge automatically and adds a strike to the lister's account.
