Title: Is there a Vendor FAQ? - Questions about being a vendor
Post by: Veetano on February 17, 2012, 10:06 pm
I'm looking to start up a mini-career here on SR and become a vendor with what I have to offer the community.

Though, before I get into it and buy a vendor account, there are so many things I am left in the dark about...

I understand there are fees per transaction, how do these effect sales, what are the actual fees?

How is the Vendor protected?
-What happens when a buyer refuses to finalize, even when tracking confirms it was delivered?
-What happens if the buyer tries to say it didn't arrive, or not all of it was there, and refuses to finalize?

How can I sell a product and make money to reup if the buyer goes absentee and just doesn't come back on SR, maybe they thought they finalized and they didn't, and they dont come back for weeks until they need more, etc.



The only thing I know, from being a buyer here on SR, is:
Vendors can put up there items
Vendors can mark an item intransit
Vendors can refund buyers
Vendors have fees on each transaction.

I really want to start selling product on here, but I don't want any surprises, I want to be able to somewhat accurately predict my earnings(minus the fluctuation of BTC).

Also... on a side note for those of you in the US.
How easy is it to ship priority boxes? They come with tracking right? Can I just put them in any blue USPS drop off mailbox in most shopping centers around the area?

Edit: Obviously this is an extra account I made for my privacy. As a buyer on silkroad I have spent approximately 15,000 USD worth of bitcoins. I'm more than experienced with the buying aspect, but I feel so clueless on the operation of vendors.

I would also like to know these things...

Perhaps some vendors on here can let us know the life of an SR vendor?
