 Community HomeFee Chart

During the current "Alpha" stage of CollectorsBookMarket.com, no fees are being charged (except Featured and Bold ad enhancement fees).   The following Fee Chart is our first draft of a potential fee schedule that would be implemented once we acquire business partners or financial backing to take the site to the next level.

*2% voluntary commission on all sales

CollectorsBookMarket.com is an advertising venue and does not get involved with merchandise payment transactions.   This keeps our overhead low and sellers' costs at a fraction of the fees they pay on other sites. 

Because buyers are encouraged  to contact the sellers directly and payments are direct between the buyer and seller, there is often no way to know when an off-site sale is made from a CollectorsBookMarket.com ad.  Instead of restricting contact with buyers, and because most of sellers are known professionals (and all sellers must identify themselves with a public Profile page), we are experimenting with an 'honor system' commission fee policy where sellers voluntarily submit a 2% commission on any sale that they think was initiated from an ad they placed on CollectorsBookMarket.com.  If we can keep our overhead and seller fees low, sellers should recognize it is in their interest to help us grow by remitting this modest commission fee.

 

Subscription and payment Policies

Members can change subscription levels at any time, fee will be adjusted on a prorated basis and the resulting credit/charge will be posted to your account.  All fees are subject to change.  Paid subscriptions are locked in for the duration of the subscription (no increase in subscription fees will take effect on an existing subscription until that subscription expires).

Initial subscription fees are due immediately upon selection.  All other fees are due within 10 days of billing.  Overdue accounts are subject to suspension.
