How to sell at Alex Shares

Your product or service listed for 1 week.

1. Pick a day to sell your stuff – Watch for your receipt with product submission form within 24 hours via email.

  • Your stuff will sell for 7 days  – from Tuesday to Tuesday
  • You can sell as many of one item as you want by setting a limit. Say you only have 13 of one necklace, let me know that you can only sell 13 and that is all that will be able to sell that day.
  • Your items must be ready to ship – this isn’t the best place to do custom items for now. However, you could offer a gift certificate or coupon code so that customers can come shop for whatever you want.
  • You need to offer at least 30% off your regular price for the stuff you sell on your day, otherwise it’s not much of a deal and that would defeat the whole purpose. Please include your shipping in the total price. You can pick where you want to ship to.

2. Payments and pricing

  • Once the customer pays for your items, I let you know their name and address via email – You then send out their item.
  • The payment comes to me, Jenn Brockman. Yes, you have to trust that I’ll pay you. But, I have to trust that you will actually deliver the products to our customers. So, we depend on each other to make this arrangement work.
  • Customers can use credit and debit cards through PayPal. They do not have to have a paypal account in order to pay for your stuff on your day.
  • You keep 95% of the totals minus any paypal fees, Alex gets to keep 5%. You can be paid via paypal or by paper check.
  • You’ll get paid within 48 hours of the end of your selling week (by paypal), or within 1 week by paper check.
  • You can offer buy one get one free, or similar offers, but it must be clear what the customer gets and how they claim it.

3. What can you sell?

  • Handmade products are what we want to see the most of. So, if you make high quality crafts, jewelry, beauty products, or anything else that can be shipped, please grab a day to sell! Information products are great too, as long as you make it and it can be sent to the buyers in an efficient way.
  • Small businesses with products and /or services are also very welcome.
  • Authors, coaches, consultants – sell your books, ebooks and programs.
