There are 2 approaches to this:
- Full Time Vendors
Pay the vendor fee's in either 3, 6 or 12 month lump sums, at a lower rate than if they did it on a month by month basis. This is suggested for the vendors who have reasonably steady sales. When it is done in one of these 3 preset lump sums, it expires on the same day it started on either the 3rd, 6th, or 12th month. If the vendor decides to hault selling on clubprotege, the remaining balance is refundable from the date that clubprotege is contacted and NOT the date of the last sale. - Part Time Vendors:(month-month)
It is suggested that part time vendors (vendors who do not know what next months sales will be) pay their fee's on a monthly basis at a rate of $10.00/mo. The periods are from the date of payment extending 1 full month.
This means that if the vendor decides to start selling on the 5th for example, they must either pay the full $10.00 and start immediately with it expiring on the 5th of the following month.
All vendor fees must be paid before posting anything for sale in this section or posting any group buy's in the public for sale section.
