   A BIT ABOUT WE
.
WinkElf is the people's online shopping marketplace for designers, artisans and all creative folk to buy and sell handmade goodies, vintage treasures, craft supplies and even some brand name items for your home and family.

Built by hand (by me) with a love for handmade goods, you won't be subjected to the gameplay of big business here. Discover free stores, no listing fees and a low selling-only fee. Or find comfort and savings in our all-inclusive package for just $5.00 a month.

No limited time offer, no gimmick - that's everyday! And for every elf. Discover the "we" difference.

2.5% SELLING ONLY FEE
 
Only when your item sells on WinkElf are you charged a small selling-only fee of  2.5% of the selling price (or a minimum of $0.25)... Be it a Buy Me price or a Make an Offer price. 

Featured store owners benefit from no selling-only fees.  No matter what the selling price.

 

Store Subscriptions & Discounts

STORE SUBSCRIPTIONS & DISCOUNTS
 

Choose from a variety of quaint store fronts to make a great first impression.  Personalize it by adding your logo, store description and custom categories.  Add meta tags for better search engine optimization too.   Every store comes with extra html pages to add a picture gallery, policies page, etc... including an import your eBay listings page. 

Best of all, each store comes with two personalized url's... one of which is unbranded.   And a personalized email address is available too!

 
Basic Store

The basic store subscription offers sellers a great solution for selling their handmade goods (in store and through out the site) and not-handmades (in store only) goods too.

 
  • 100% FREE
  • Upgrades available
  • Unlimited listings
Featured Store

For the medium/large seller, these fees can really add up. The Featured Store package offers you an all-inclusive flat rate solution.

All fees and upgrades are included in the one low monthly price. This includes selling fees and listing extras to make your items stand out. Put your listings on the main page (and much more) with featured listings ... it's all-inclusive.

 
  • $5.00/month, or $50.00/year
  • All-inclusive with all the frills
  • Unlimited listings

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, Authorize.net, NoChex, WorldPay, Ikobo and Protx.

 

Currencies

CURRENCIES
 
While WinkElf is an international destination, all fees and prices on WinkElf are listed in US Dollars.

Currency conversion is handled automatically by the payment processing service.

 

Paying Your Fees

PAYING YOUR FEES
 
Pay your fees with your credit card, debit card or check safely and easily using PayPal.  We do not ask sellers to leave a credit card on file. 

Fees are automatically added to your account in real time... on activation of the service.  Your account details are always available for review and payment from the [My Account] section of the Members Area. 

A monthly invoice or statement is sent to all members at the beginning of each month summarizing their fees and any referral credits.

 

Quickie Questions

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)
