Power Seller
If more than 40 items are sold per month, the following sale in that month will only be possible after Power Seller status has been bought. This fee is paid once in a given month, allowing further items to be listed. The cost of Power Seller status is a mere
Ð10.
Share The Wealth
If your item
markup exceeds Ð2k then a 2% fee is charged on that markup and payable from the income of sale. Yes - you're more than welcome to request a markup listing of Ð1,999 to avoid the fee.
Limitations
So that I can provide a good quality of service to everyone, in addition to taking steps to make the listing process simple, I also have to impose a few rules. The rules are not intended to be used in malice or otherwise trick fellow Entropians.
Other Important Points
- Rent will be handled as normal in-game. If multiples of the rent fee are paid in advance or at any point during the month, the extra time will be added to the end of the current month, ensuring maximum display time for minimum fuss.
- Consecutively months are not required, but are advisable, as the maximum benefit will be gained from advertising and common knowledge of Associate Retailer staus within the Eudorian population.
- A month is 4 calendar weeks, measured Mon-Sun for the same day, 4 weeks on.
- Participant content(PC) items, such as artwork, that are distasteful or otherwise liable to bring dis-repute upon the shop won't be listed.
- Listing price is entirely your choice, however attempts to list at extreme prices that would bring disrepute upon the shop will be refused. This is subjective, but won't be draconian.
- The entropian who lists, is the entropian who collects (items or income). This is final, multiple avatars will not be traded between.
- If the account that listed an item is cancelled by MA, lost by the avatar, to claim the item/income will require a confirmation of avatar change directly from MA support.
- As is EF policy, disputes for whatever cause will not be discussed. The website will maintain a list of any disputes, which will show both sides and the resolution.
- Liability is limited to the Ð1,000 max, which does not include consequential loss. Where the liability is MA's fault, you are expected to follow this up with them.
- Items that have not sold by the end of the month will be placed into storage unless the following months rent has been paid in advance.
- Unsold Items that for whatever reason are not collected, will be held in storage for 6 months (awaiting collection), after which time they will be listed on the public auction for 7 days with no initial markup and no buyout. Where the item is off such low value that auction fee can't be recouped, the item will be tt'd.
- Uncollected income is held on record for 12 months, after which it is transferred to myself.
- In the interests of open & accountable business, the full records may be requested by MA support, other avatars may request the full records for the fee of Ð1k.
- I maintain the right to refuse to list an item. This may be for any reason, though will typically be where listing an item would have negative impact on the shop.
- I maintain the right to refund rent. This may be for any reason, though will typically be when space is rented and left empty, which could lead to a negative impact on the shop.
- Any changes to the details will be listed here.
Listing Procedure
I can't always be online, and won't always be at the shop.
Please bear this in mind when arranging items for listing.
Having paid the relevant schemes fee, the avatar will be added to my Friend List for the duration of Associate Retailer status. At that point, or within that time, they can contact me to list items. I'm not highly active in hunting or other time consuming profession, the shop takes priority.
Item trades are always carried out by myself Michael Commodore Ludgate, within the shop. The trades will not take place anywhere else, and no other avatar acts with authority in my shop. If you have a tendancy to forget full names or trust easily, please print or write my full name before entering EU.
Before requesting a meet, please ensure you know how much you want to sell the item for. This helps to speed up the process, ensuring that everyone recieves a better service.
Trading your item with me, should be carried out in the standard way for all trades. Please check the item you wish to list, if you require keep adequate records of the value and the requested listing price. I highly recommend the use of image capture (I'm a registered Fraps user). I will record all transactions via screenshots which are used to maintain record on the website. The item will immediately be listed at the markup specified.
Collection of income doesn't have to be done immediately, a banking style record will be maintained. Your funds remain seperate and accessible when you require. However for my sanity meeting more than once per day at the shop will be discouraged.
About Commodore
I have been an active member of EU since ~March of 2002, for ceremonial reasons (MA don't keep records that far) I state my EU birthday as my rl - 11th July; Making me resident for 6yrs this summer.
I have quite a large value in peds, tied for better or for worse, in estates, home currently being my long term owned house in Hadesheim West. I'm a fustrated hunter who decided that his love of pragmatic business could be applied to the virtual world. I purchased Emerald Lakes, level 2, shop #2 just over a week ago, using funds worked up from (expensive!) auctioning of skills and Angel helmet & shins.
Why is this service here, and why the reasonable rates?
I've seen shops I like, and some I love (Eto, Freyer, etc.) and then the multitude that disapoint me. I have a passionate desire to capitalise on my strengths to bring a rl interest to Entropia. Aside from dashing looks
I rate my most valuble socio-personal skills as honesty and pragmatism. However my crafting skills never allowed me to do much more than loose vast quanties of peds with the typical, paid for, globals and occasional hof. I'm not interested in making a killing for a few months and fadeing away. I'd rather make a humble sum for my efforts, and become a globally respected member with a surviving business!
The shop will be open as of the public posting of this thread. Please remember, when you visit, that the items in the shop are limited - as it's not my primary goal to sell many or specific items through the shop. It will look less interesting until the Associate Retailers are in, will that be you! An official 'ribbon cutting event' will happen after the initial traders are settled in.
I use, and highly recommend everyone invest the very small sum of Ð250 for a gold card & reader. This should be viewed by all participants with more than Ð1k as essential.
