Selling with Storefronts
PriceGrabber Storefronts is a service that lets sellers list and sell merchandise without the need to have their own web site. When you buy from a PriceGrabber Storefronts seller, you are not redirected to the seller's web site. You just place your order with the seller within the PriceGrabber web site. Please note that you are not buying from PriceGrabber. You are just placing your order through PriceGrabber.com. PriceGrabber then passes your transaction information to the seller with whom you purchased.
PriceGrabber Storefronts is a service designed to help sellers without their own web site or to help sellers that would rather pay commission only if their merchandise sells rather than a Cost Per Click (CPC) to send traffic to their own web site. Please read the section below or the
How to Sell FAQ for more information, including fees and how to list your items.
Fees
The first 100 products may be listed for no listing fee. Products listed over the initial 100 products will be subject to a $0.25 USD per product per calendar month Listing Fee. Additionally, Sellers shall pay a base commission rate ($1.85 + 11.25% of the purchase price)* after a product is sold (* Holiday comission rates will be in effect 11/1 - 1/15).

Accepting Payments
There are three basic ways of collecting payments when selling on PriceGrabber Storefronts:
· PayPal
· Credit Cards
· Google Checkout
PayPal Payments
It is very simple to link your verified PayPal account to your PriceGrabber Storefront. Buyers will be forwarded to the PayPal website at the end of the transaction and will complete their payment on PayPal.com's secure pages. PriceGrabber receives payment updates (IPN) from PayPal and keeps you updated on the status of the transactions. For help on PayPal we recommend that you visit their web site at http://www.paypal.com/.
Credit Card Payments
If you accept credit card payments already, you are most likely working with a credit card processor such as Paymentech, Card Services International, Nova or First Data Merchant Services.
Since credit card transactional information is very sensitive, you cannot link your PriceGrabber Storefronts directly to your credit card processor. You will need to use the services of companies known as Gateways. The main function of the Gateways is to securely pass credit card information between your web site (in this case your PriceGrabber Storefronts account) and your credit card processor. There are a few companies that offer the gateway service. PriceGrabber supports the most important ones, which are the following:
· Authorize.net
· LinkPoint
· VeriSign
· ViaKLIX
If you already have one account with one of the above mentioned gateways, you will be able to link your PriceGrabber Storefronts account to your gateway. If you do not have an account with a gateway, we recommend you first find out if your credit card processor is working with any of the gateways supported by PriceGrabber. If this is the case, select the gateway that may be best for you and open an account with them. For more detailed information, please review the
Forms of Payment Policy. You may also email us if you have questions regarding this issue.
Google Checkout Payments
Using Google Checkout on PriceGrabber is very straightforward. Buyers will be forwarded to the Google Checkout website at the end of the transaction and will complete their payment on Google's secure pages. PriceGrabber receives payment updates from Google and keeps you updated on the status of the transactions. For help on Google Checkout we recommend that you visit their web site at http://checkout.google.com/sell/.
Sales Tax
It's the seller's responsibility to determine the applicability of any sales taxes. PriceGrabber only requires that you agree not to charge more than the legal tax rate for your transaction.
Recommendations
In your listing, include as much detailed information as possible about your product, as well as a thorough description and competitive price. We show you the average price and also the highest price listed on PriceGrabber, so you can price your merchandise accordingly. Sellers must also list the condition of each item they sell. There is a system scale, starting with "New" and going to "Not Working." A great way to illustrate a product's condition is to add your own image of the item to your listing.
Privacy and Security Issues
Storefronts is designed for utmost security. Credit card information is encrypted using SSL and is stored encrypted on servers not accessible by the Internet.
For the security of our Members, new sellers can only sell a limited amount of dollars per month. If you expect to deal in higher priced merchandise or in larger sales volumes, please contact us at info@pricegrabber.com so that we can review your account and determine if your account may be eligible for increased selling limits.
Your privacy is of great importance to us, and we will not give out your personal information to any third party without your permission. As a result of a completed transaction, buyers and sellers will automatically exchange billing/shipping information.
