How can I sell E-tickets and how much do I have to pay for that?

We do not charge anything for the sale of e-tickets. The buyer have to pay a 8% pre-sale fee or 13% for a hardticket!If you organize a concert all you have to do is to create the tickets in the admin area "create new tickets" of your account. Just pick the month of the event and you got it.You can decide how many you can sell and the price of each ticket! The person who ordered a ticket, will reveive a automatically generazied code and also a barcode.The ticket sales will shut down automatically a couple days before the event. The concert organizer will receive a list with all the sold codes as a automatically generized PDF file and can then cross everybody from the list who has paid and shows up with the code. If a customer gives his or her code away he or she will be refused from entering the concert area. You have the possibility to add a widget onto your personal webpage or myspace page where people have the option to directely buy the tickets from that widget without even stepping onto our site.

Could you plese explain me how to figure that whole GEMA thing out?

You can sell your stuff without a problem if you have a band and wrote your own music & lyrics and are not registered at the GEMA ( just make sure that all songs are your own - Cover songs are NOT allowed).Even if one of the band members is also registered at the GEMA but is NOT the writer or composer of the songs - will you be able to sell your songs without any trouble.If your band (or the composer/texter) is on the other hand registerd with the GEMA - you will have to pay Gema fees ( they are usually 15 % of the selling price - with a minimum of 12,78 Eurocent for each song). And since you are the owner of your songs you will get the money back at the end of the year. We are here to help you to deal with all that! The only thing you have to do is to use the GEMA option in the admin area. If you are part of the Gema ( or your writer or composer) then mark it there. (admin area -> customize your account -> change your account information) You will also be asked to enter the to add the composer, writer and label. In case you are using a cover song that is registerd with the GEMA you also have to enter composer/writer & label.If you have any problems trying to figure the whole GEMA thing out please don't hesitate to contact us ( wither by phone or through e-mail) - will try and help where we can. Since we worked with this subject for such a long time we can easily call ourselfs experts in that area! :)

Set your own price

You can decide how much you want to charge for each item that you added to your shop like your songs, CD's or t- shirts.The minimum price of each MP3 has to be 0,05 Euro and we usually recommend a price range for MP3's between 0,79 & 1,29 Euro per song. We also recommend to sell CD's & T- shirts betwen 8 & 12 Euros and the recommended price for Buttons lays between 0,59 & 0,99 Euro.
When you pick the price for your MP3 please remember following details: If you are a member of the GEMA and offer so called GEMA material - then you have to pay a certain amount to the GEMA per each download. The current rates are 10 % of your price but a minimum of 8,5 Cent
make sure that your record is cheaper then if someone was to buy each song individually from it. For example if you have 10 songs and each songs costs about 0,99 Eurocent you would usually sell all 10 for 9,90 Euros. But to make it more interesting for your customer it would be the best if you make them a deal and lower the price for the whole album to 7,99 Euros instead - about 15 to 20 % cheaper than before. But of course this is only a recommendation and we leave it up to you in the end.

How is your shipping policy?

As soon as we receive the money confirmation we sent out the items. We ship everything as fast as possible out but of course we have to have the items in stock. If some items are not in stock there will be a little waiting time. We sometimes don't have the power over these procedures because it is up to our sellers to re-stock the items as soon as possible but we get right in touch with the seller of the missing items. We offer our customers either their money back or a replacement item (this has to be done over the telephone best if possible) in case some items are not re-stockable for a longer time. If a customer refuses to accept the item during delivery he or she has to pay the shipping.
