The tide is finally turning in the luxury E-Commerce world and more and more High Net Worth and Ultra High Net Worth shoppers are buying online. When it comes to buying estate jewelry, a tourbillon or rare art online most people have been quite scared to hit that checkout button.

The most important aspect of luxury E-Commerce is trust and obtaining that for your website takes time. It's an area my company has been doing a lot of exploration and experimenting and will be my next topic covered here on LinkedIn.

For now, let's take a look at the best online marketplaces that have established that trust with the affluent and why your brand shouldn't pass up the opportunity. Why you ask? For one, you can drive sales while building trust in your brand elsewhere online. Second, once you've established yourself as a valuable seller on these platforms, that in itself will act as a badge of trust you can mention on your own website.

The team at 1stdibs has done a solid job over the past couple of years building on of the most trusted and trafficked luxury marketplaces anywhere. You are however restricted to jewelry, art, antiques and fashion so if you have cars or boats to sell this is not the place.

Robb Report Marketplace

When it comes to luxury living the name Robb Report is one of the first things that pop into my mind. The magazine has come along way over the past 30 years and has managed to grow brilliantly in the digital age. They have their own marketplace which gets a lot of action and shouldn't be missed.

Luxify

This is the new kid on the block and they've managed to get a hefty amount of investment, especially from China. As of right now it is free to list while they grow and if you're looking to get in front of affluent Chinese shoppers easily, then this is it.
