Thats kind of whack that you would have to pay in order to become a registered seller per month :P since people have paid 50-100 already for access to this site
I think the monthly charge/lifetime charge will discourage potential sellers

This is only for people that have serious deals for our members. If we make it a free service (as it has been) people abuse it and we get alot of people trying to scam members. This way our members can be assured that the seller is serious and has gone through several tests to get registered.

I hope this helps answer your question?

Yeah, I guess your right :wink:

I mean we can put it to a vote with all members as to what they think the best solution is and go with that. We are always open to feedback and we can let the members decide the best way around this, if it becomes an issue.

Let's trial it for 1 week and see what happens.

How does that sound?

I don't know if you want to say that you'll "trail" it and see how it works out. Potential sellers will see this post and think that you'll drop your prices if nothing happens.
I think you should firmly set your prices now, before you get people hesitating.
My initial concern was the cost. Most people on Salehoo are entrepreneurs/a small company where they endure many costs as it is; ebay fees, hosting fees, PayPal fees, customs fees, etc. etc.
I think if your going to charge, charge reasonably; 10/month; 150 lifetime, I think are reasonable charges

I think you should have sellers fax the front and back of their credit card also, for added security.
I also think you should have sellers re-register every year, for up to date info.
Also, I highly suggest you guys implement "itrader"; and put it with registered sellers names. Its a feedback system for forums. It's like ebay's feedback system where you could rate and leave feedback on how your transaction was with the seller. I think there are different versions, just Google it.

Thanks for your comments. We will leave the prices as is, but if it does go down people that have paid will be refunded the difference so they really have nothing to worry about.

Yes the itrader is a great idea and we can add this function in as well!

SC.... since you have your own online store and i have been there, i think you should partner up with salehoo. You could make a bigger profit instead of competing

i, as a seller, am a bit upset about the charge to post items for sale on salehoo.

forgot to mention...

i agree with the "register" process.
check us sellers out, ensure we are a legitimate company offering great deals to those seeking wholesale items.

GREAT.

but after you validate a company, why make us pay?

you have already taken precaution to validate a company, so you are eliminating the fraudster companies.

i am a bit turned off by the fact that we have to pay. there are enough money hungry companies out there, i was hoping salehoo wouldnt go in that direction. i have been a firm supporter of salehoo, always defending them in forums when they are being bashed. i feel a bit betrayed.

that is my opinion.

thanks

imo, it would stop sellers who don't have frequent offers to post. If I have only a couple of deals per month and I'm not sure how it sells, I wouldn't register unless I have a free 1 month trial or something so i can find out the potential sale that might come out of this forum.

But I strongly support the idea of validating the companies before posting. If someone is really a scammer, they wouldn't mind paying such monthly fees to scam the others. so that wouldn't be a good solution to stop scammers.

**salehoo** 18/08/2006 01:25

How about a one off fee to get validated? And this then lasts for a year at which pooint they are re-validated?

How does this sound sellers? What about do you think is reasonable? $50 a year to get validated?

Let us know and we can change this to what members think is the best solution.

:lol: what gave you the impression that I'm competing with them; I'm not competing with them, I was just expressing my opinions

No, don't do that. It would be the same thing. One time fee, or a monthly charge...I realized that there is no point to this but to make a few dollars for yourselves.
I agree with mvm, and Guest. I am not a frequent seller, and I can tell you right now most Salehoo members are not frequent sellers.
As Guest said, if someone is really a scammer, they wouldn't mind paying such monthly fees or a one time fee to scam the other salehoo members, they can easily quandriple their earnings from that little investment from one scam.
You charged us a one time fee for a lifetime membership to Salehoo, and now you want to charge us more for certain features for this site. If you guys want to make more money, advertise Salehoo more by including your new features such as your new forum, and access to being able to sell and buy from a whole range of suppliers.
I think charging sellers will discourage potential great suppliers
What if they just want to test out if their products will sell, and then they see the fact you have to pay. I can tell you right now most would just not even bother because there are many other sites where wholesalers can sell their products for free
I agree with the validating process though, just think it should be more thorough
