Sellables
Unlike most
handmade venues,
you can list
your handmade
goodies and your other stuff
too... but
non-handmade
items will only
be available in
your store
only. In so
doing, the venue
maintains it's
focus on
handmade
boutique items,
and store owners
can have a place
to sell their
other sellables
too. :o)
Payment
Gateways
Built in payment
gateways include
PayPal, Google
Checkout,
2CheckOut,

QUICKIE
QUESTIONS |
| |
|
Can I sell on
WinkElf if I'm
not located in the
United States? |
| |
| Yes you can.
We already have
many sellers in
other countries
and we'll be
adding built-in
currency
converter to the
listing process soon. |
| |
|
If I end an item
early, will my
upgrade fees
be refunded? |
| |
| No they are
not.
WinkElf offers
all users free
listings so that
they may
evaluate the
service and
become familiar
with all
functions before
choosing any
upgraded
features.
Upgrade fees are
non-refundable. |
| |
|
If I close my
store before the
renewal date,
will some of my
store fees
be refunded? |
| |
| No they are
not.
WinkElf offers
all users free
stores so that
they may
evaluate the
service and
become familiar
with all
functions before
choosing to
upgrade to a
paid
subscription.
Store fees are
non-refundable. |
| |
|
I forgot about
my store
subscription, do
I still have to
pay? |
| |
| Yes, you do.
Just as you
would if you
rented a movie
and forgot to
watch it.
Store owners are
responsible for
managing their
store and
subscription.
Monthly invoices
are emailed to
your registered
email address
and act as a
gentle reminder
that you have an
active store. |
| |
|
My fees are
so low... Can I
carry forward my
fees? |
| |
| Absolutely.
Any invoice
under $5.00 can
be carried
forward to the
next month with
no penalties.
Paying invoices
under $1.00
results in all
the fees going
to PayPal.
We'd rather it
went to
supporting the
site. :o) |
