Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: How safe is it to purchase spreadsheets from this site?A: Very safe. The Order Form pages for this store are served through a secure "https" connection using 128-bit SSL v2/v3 encryption managed by Yahoo! and by ScanAlert "Hacker Safe" technology tested and certified daily to pass the FBI/SANS Internet Security Test. The checkout process encrypts credit card information when a shopper enters the credit card number in the web browser, when it is sent to our server, and finally when it is sent from our server to our order processing center. Q: How do I sell my spreadsheets? A: Simply click on the "Sell your Spreadsheets" button to the left and fill out the brief form and attach your spreadsheet. You can also email us screen shots or we will take some for you to add to your product page. Include a brief description of your spreadsheet, what it does, the value it provides to the user, the price you want to charge, and we do the rest. Please do not include any confidential personal or business information in the spreadsheets themselves. They are meant to be tools and templates that other people can edit for their specific needs. Q: How and when am I paid if I upload a spreadsheet for sale? A: We will send you a check or PayPal payment, based on your preference, every quarter once your spreadsheet sales have earned you a commission totaling at least $25. For spreadsheet sellers that earn more than $300 per month in commmissions, we will mail you a check or PayPal payment every month. Q: Are there listing fees like the ones eBay? What is the commission? A: There are NO listing fees on our site. Therefore, unlike eBay, there is no cost to you if your product does not sell, and it will stay available for sale indifinitely unless you ask us to take it down. We earn a 30% commission each time your product sells, and you earn the other 70%. You set your price. We host your spreadsheets and their product pages and we pay for all of the transaction costs. Your product pages do not expire (unlike eBay) but you can ask us to take your product page down at any time. Q: How do I know how to price my spreadsheet? A: Ideally you can estimate an appropriate price for your spreadsheet based on the value it provides and by evaluating the price of other spreadsheets that may be similar to your spreadsheet. We encourage you to include an explanation of the value your template provides in your product's description which you can enter in the "Sell your spreadsheets" submission form. If you also have a YouTube video that demonstrates how your spreadsheet works, please include the link to that video in your submission which will be uploaded to your product page. |
