There are some unique aspects of the experience of listing a Solana item for sale using OpenSea!
Can I list my Solana item on multiple marketplaces?
Many other Solana marketplaces, such as MagicEden, require users to escrow, or temporarily lend an NFT, to the marketplace when listing it for sale. Solana users on OpenSea can list items for sale while still maintaining possession of their NFTs. However, you won't be able to list your item on multiple marketplaces until they remove the escrow requirement.
For the same reason, if you’ve already listed your item for sale using OpenSea, and then list it on another marketplace later, your listing on OpenSea will be rendered inactive and will no longer be live on OpenSea, since the NFT has been transferred to the other marketplace’s escrow account.
Solana users on OpenSea benefit from escrow-less listings. You'll be able to use your NFTs on other platforms – including games, Discord communities, and virtual worlds or galleries – even while your item is listed for sale. You’ll have the freedom to use your NFT until it’s sold!
Will items in my collection that are not for sale still appear?
Many marketplaces will only display collection items that are actively for sale, but on OpenSea, all minted items in your collection are displayed on the collection page. This means that users on OpenSea can explore all items in a Solana collection, not just the items listed for sale. Owners can receive offers for NFTs that they own but haven’t listed, and can accept those offers without having to list their item for sale!
Remember to update your account settings to get offer notifications directly.
Why are collection counts incorrect?
On Solana, it’s common for NFTs to be sent to burn addresses, which have no owners and can’t be purchased. You may see a Solana collection with inconsistent item or stats counts for this reason. This is expected and it means some NFTs in the collection have been sent to a burn address.
