Listing Commission

There are no "out of pocket" fees or charges with listing on GlyphicsDesigns.com. There is, instead, a commission of 25 percent on the price YOU specify for each listing. Therefore, if you list and item for $10.00, each time it is purchased, you make $7.50. Buyers make payments to the site and we, in turn, make payments to consignors on a monthly basis via PayPal (if you have a PayPal account) or by check by the 10th of the following month.

Listing an Item:

Items are listed in your members area, and may be listed in one of 2 methods. You may list items individually with the List Item link, or you may also upload multiple items at once in the Seller Tools section. Step-by-step instructions are provided to make listing a simple process.

Each item contains for following information:

Category:

Choose one category from the drop down list in the List Item form, or provide the category number in your upload file.

Title:

Accurately describe your item with a title that can be up to 120 characters long. Good titles will attract attention and help to SELL your item!

Description:

Your description is most important to describing your item and answering potential questions for the buyer. HTML is acceptable. We encourage the inclusion of your contact info (email, website, phone, etc.) with each listing.

Images:

You may upload as many images as you need with the List Item form, or link to an image on another website by providing the complete URL to the image. When linking make sure to use a complete URL beginning with http://. If you aren't sure of your image URL, copy what you have typed into a new browser window and see if your image appears. If it doesn't, check your path and file name, as they are case sensitive in most cases.

Buy Price:

As noted above, there is a 25 percent site commission on the price you enter.

Saving and Starting Auctions:

As soon as you complete Step 1 of the listing process, your listing can be found in the Pending area of the My Listings Menu. Pending Listings are available for 14 days.

Listing Duration:

Listings last 90 days and can be edited or ended by you at any time. Listing that sell are automatically relisted for an additional 90 days. Listings that do not sell require modification prior to relisting (this to help ensure a dynamic site and quality content). Ended listings are available for modification and relist for 14 days. At the end of this time (if not relisted) items are removed from the site without notice.
