Ok, The Marketplace is currently in active testing, and we’re working through the final details to make sure it is useful, safe, and easy to use before opening it up to everyone. Hang in there — it’s coming.
Planned features included for the first Release:
Create listings for gear you want to sell, trade, give away, or find
Support for multiple listing types:
- For Sale
- Want to Buy
- Trade
- Free / Giveaway
Multi-item listings, so one post can include several individual items
Individual item sold tracking for multi-item listings
Ability to relist individual sold items if they become available again
Listing images with a clean gallery view
Categories for common underwater gear:
- Housings
- Strobes & video lights
- Ports & extensions
- Trays, arms & clamps
- Accessories and other gear
Price, currency, condition, and location fields
Seller profile integration
Buyer/seller feedback support
Sold and closed listing states
Messaging/contact tools for interested buyers
Moderation tools to help keep listings organized and trustworthy
Listing history so important changes can be tracked
Mobile-friendly layout for browsing on phones and tablets
We are also testing the design with sample listings so we can tune the layout, image sizes, category filters, sold states, and listing detail pages before real members start posting.
This is not live for general use yet, We want the Marketplace to feel like a natural part of WaterPixels, not just a bolted-on classifieds section or old forum style we are use to..
Thanks for your patience while we test everything. More updates soon.

The WaterPixels Shop is now open! You can now grab WaterPixels merch at https://waterpixels.shop. All profits go toward keeping the site online and supporting our hosting costs. One of our major goals is to keep WaterPixels free for everyone, and picking up something from the shop — or even donating any amount — truly helps us make that possible.
As before Items are printed in your country or region. We do not have tax or vat numbers so we just pay them when we place the order. This is picked up in the shop under WPX fees. Previously we had to manually make the order and then update the fees and send an update back to the user with the final amount to pay. We are now fully automated to calculate this and get your order in immediately. Much easier for everyone.
Also while on the shop site, before check out, you can hit the sign in with WaterPixels button and it will bounce you to the forums and back to the shop. no need to create an extra account. Purchases can also be made as guest. If you sign in with WaterPixels, you will get a supporter badge.
If there is a variation or product you don't see and want let me know and I'll see about adding.
Thanks for supporting our volunteer‑run community!
