2: What are the fees?
A: Sign up now during our Beta release for a free one year subscription;

- No commissions or transaction fees
You
can list up to 500 Marketplace ads at any one time and you get a free Mall
Billboard and directory listing, Click here for the complete fee schedule.
All of your active Marketplace ads are automatically included in your
Storefront.
There are no commission or final value fees and all transactions are direct
between the buyer and seller (we don't get involved unless there is a problem).
This gives sellers unrestricted contact with their buyers and keeps our overhead
low.
We encourage sellers to direct
buyers to their own site, to other venues, or to have the buyer contact them by
phone to complete the sale.
Our strategy is to provide sellers with a venue
where they can advertise their books or book related items.
3: Can I bulk upload my records from a book inventory program?
A: No, not at this time.
4: Can my Storefront have its own domain name?
A: Yes. If you already have a domain name, then we can "redirect" it to
your Storefront homepage. If you don't have a domain name, we can help register a domain name for you.
5: How long does it take to open my
Storefront?
A: The actual set-up time can be as little as a few minutes if you
already have a logo or other graphic you want to use as your Banner.
Your Storefront
Description, Storefront Banner, and
optional Storefront Image are immediately reviewable on the Edit My Storefront page, so
members can easily experiment with their Banner, Image and Description to find
the best look and layout for their Storefront.
6: What kind of content can I put in my
Storefront?
A: Within reason, just about anything.

- Logos
- Images and graphics
- Links to your website or listings on other sites
- Links to your social networking sites

Storefront?
A: Once your Storefront is active, you can edit the content at any time
by using the Edit my Storefront link in the Storefronts masthead.
8: How much computer knowledge is required?
A: No special computer knowledge is required beyond basic computer skills and being able to access the Internet.
9: What types of payments can I accept through my
Storefront?
A: Whatever payments you normally accept for your merchandise. All
transactions are direct between the buyer and seller, we don't get involved
unless there is a problem. If you direct our 'Linked Ad' option to
redirect your buyer to another site, they
use the payment options available there.
10: Do you process transaction credit card payments
for sellers?
A: No. In order to keep our overhead as low as possible, we do not
get involved in the individual transactions between buyers and sellers.
We do not ask for or accept credit card information and no credit information is stored on our servers.
