Blur NFTBlur NFT listings let you set an asking price and track a sale
Blur NFT listings offer an NFT you own for sale at your chosen asking price. Start with the correct wallet and item, review the sale terms, and distinguish transfer approval from the listing signature. After submission, check the item's listing record against those terms. An active listing displays an offer, but purchase still depends on order validity, ownership, and transfer permission; a completed sale requires a successful settlement transaction. Cancellation matters whenever you no longer accept the offer you signed.
Prepare one NFT for its first listing
Begin with an NFT your connected wallet owns and Blur makes available for listing. Selecting the item and preparing a price lets you review the proposal before authorizing anything. Match the collection contract and token ID to your holding, rather than relying on its image alone.
- If the connected address does not own the selected NFT, stop before signing.
- If Blur does not offer a listing action for the item, resolve its availability first.
- If an approval transaction is necessary, check the operator, permission scope, and gas estimate.
- If the price, payment unit, deductions, or expiration terms differ from your intention, revise the proposal.
- If an earlier sale offer exists, inspect it before creating another listing.
Once those conditions hold, complete any required approval and review the listing signature separately. Submit only the intended item and terms. The listing record should then identify the same NFT and asking price. Save those starting details so a later price change or sale does not erase your point of comparison.
If submission produces an error or no visible listing, inspect the existing order state before signing again. An interrupted browser response does not establish whether the service accepted the signature. If ownership changed during preparation, the original wallet no longer satisfies the transfer prerequisite.
Proceed only after resolving that discrepancy. Check that the active listing matches your intended terms and that your wallet still owns the NFT with the required approval in place. It does not mean someone has purchased the NFT. If the sale already occurred, the settlement record becomes the relevant evidence.
Is the collection floor the price you should list at?
The collection floor is an asking-price reference, not a required listing price or an assured sale value. It describes the lowest asking price within the collection and listing scope the interface displays. Other sellers can change that reference while your own signed price remains unchanged.
Compare the selected NFT with relevant listings and completed sales before choosing its ask. Collection-wide figures can obscure differences between individual items. Also distinguish an asking price from a bid: listing states your sale terms, while accepting an eligible bid uses an existing buyer's offer. That distinction matters when deciding whether to wait for a buyer or consider an available offer.
A price entered for review remains a proposal. Signing it creates sale authorization under the order's conditions, so do not treat a low test price as harmless once submitted.
Understand the wallet requests before signing
Transfer permission and sale authorization perform different jobs. Approval allows a designated operator to move an eligible NFT; the listing signature expresses the sale terms. Completing one does not establish that you completed the other.
Transfer permission
The collection covered
An ERC-721 operator approval covers all NFTs the approving wallet owns within that collection contract. It does not automatically cover every collection in the wallet. Selecting one item for listing therefore does not necessarily restrict the underlying approval to that item.
The operator receiving permission
Inspect the operator receiving permission and the collection contract to which that permission applies. A wallet connection alone does not grant this transfer permission. Reject a request whose purpose or scope you cannot reconcile with the listing you prepared.
The signed sale terms
A listing signature can authorize settlement without another seller confirmation when a buyer fulfills the valid order. Review the selected NFT, price, and applicable expiration before signing. An off-chain signature does not itself require transaction gas, but its ability to authorize a later sale makes it consequential.
Read listing status alongside ownership
A listing record describes an offer; the NFT ownership record describes who holds the asset. These records answer different questions. An active ask is compatible with the seller still owning the NFT because listing alone does not complete its transfer.
Likewise, a wallet approval receipt proves a permission change, not publication of the intended asking price. A signed message establishes authorization, but it does not prove the interface accepted or displayed the listing. Keep these distinctions clear when a wallet notification and the marketplace screen appear to disagree.
For a completed sale, inspect the successful settlement transaction, the particular NFT transfer, and the payment movement. A transfer by itself could represent another action. A pending transaction has not yet established a completed state change.
Why has an NFT disappeared from active listings?
An NFT can leave the active listing view because its offer sold, expired, or became unavailable for fulfillment. A display or indexing problem can also obscure the record. Its absence alone does not identify which event occurred.
Ownership, order validity, and transfer permission help distinguish those possibilities. A sale should have corresponding settlement evidence. An expiration ends the order's validity under its time condition. A transfer elsewhere can prevent the original seller from delivering the NFT, even if an old listing record remains visible.
When ownership remains unchanged, inspect the order's terms and any approval or cancellation activity. Refreshing a stale display can reveal an updated record; refreshing does not change the underlying authorization. Avoid creating replacement offers until you understand whether the earlier one remains executable.
Separate the asking price from sale proceeds
The amount a buyer pays and the amount reaching the seller can differ because of applicable sale deductions. Review the royalty and marketplace charges attached to the transaction. Do not carry a remembered percentage into a new listing without checking its actual terms.
Network transaction costs belong in a separate calculation. Approval or on-chain cancellation can require gas even when no sale follows. To assess the amount retained, start with the settled sale amount, subtract seller-side deductions, and account separately for transaction costs you paid. Avoid subtracting a charge twice if the displayed proceeds already exclude it. The BlurExchangeV2 contract interface exposes protocol-fee settings separately from trade execution.
Cancel an offer you no longer accept
Cancellation addresses the outstanding sale authorization. Closing the marketplace, disconnecting the wallet, or hiding an item does not cancel a signed order. An on-chain cancellation needs successful confirmation before its state change takes effect.
A buyer's fulfillment and your cancellation can compete while transactions remain pending. Cancellation cannot reverse a sale that completed first. When changing an asking price, inspect the previous order's status as well as the replacement price; a new displayed offer alone does not prove every earlier authorization ended.
Revoking transfer approval changes the operator's permission rather than canceling the order itself. Restoring permission can make an otherwise valid outstanding order executable again. Use the cancellation mechanism applicable to the order when the intention is to withdraw that offer permanently.
If settlement has already succeeded, that order has been fulfilled and cancellation cannot recover the NFT.
Helpful answers about Blur NFT
-
Can a Blur listing sell while my browser is closed?
- A valid signed listing can sell while your browser is closed. Fulfillment relies on the order's authorization and required transfer conditions, not an open seller session. Keeping the marketplace visible is useful for monitoring, but closing it does not suspend the offer.
-
Why does my NFT appear in my wallet but lack a listing option?
- Wallet ownership does not establish that Blur currently makes the item available for listing. Confirm the connected address and the exact collection and token ID. If those match, check for an availability or indexing issue in Blur; repeated approvals do not establish listing availability.
-
Does rejecting a listing signature remove an approval I already granted?
- Rejecting a listing signature does not undo a previously confirmed transfer approval. The rejected request and the existing permission are separate. If you abandon the listing, review whether you still want that operator approval and revoke it separately when appropriate.
-
Will listing an NFT reveal my wallet's other holdings?
- A public listing connects the sale offer with its seller address, and public blockchain ownership records can reveal other holdings associated with that address. The listing does not create those ownership records, but it can make the address easier to associate with the offered NFT.
-
Which details should I retain after a listing sells?
- Keep the collection contract, token ID, original listing terms, settlement transaction hash, sale amount, deductions, and amount received. These details connect the offer with its eventual outcome. A screenshot of the asking price alone does not record the final payment or transaction costs.
