We agree, of course. So it was a one-time mistake by Erik as explained.

How are you going to determine whether it is a large shop?
Do you then look at the number of items, or at the turnover that a store generates?

For the time being, the idea is by number of items. But I get your point when it comes to a lot of very cheap items.

Commission on new comics I disagree!
then I will take them off because that Margin is already little.
Then I just refer to my own site, will then only leave the Hardcovers or offer remnants,
but am especially curious how you want to calculate that?
if I maybe sell a book for 1000 euros what does catawiki ask?
If I sell a book for 5 euros, what does catawiki ask?
Are you going to make contracts and invoices just like E-bay?
Shopping cart good idea!
@ Rene, Tip!
just charge participation fee so kind of subscription,
example:
do you have 500 booklets in your shop you pay 2 euros per month to catawiki 1000 3 2000 5 etc.
but it is only an example, but that is how you keep it fair, because commission on expensive and / or I don't like new books that much.
I think that with a low subscription you can attract and keep many shops to Catawiki!
If I know then I will pay 10 euros to Catawiki for 5000 shop items per month.
but then I still want to have the option to add series!
Placing that widget on my site from you already costs me 100 euros in comics.
although it is beautiful!

@ Stripsmagazijn

If you have 500 books in your shop, you pay 2 euros per month to Catawiki 1000 3 2000 5 etc.
In itself a nice tip, they also have fixed income instead of variable.

There are actually 2 reasons why I asked about it.
The first is indeed that you can also offer a lot of cheap items.
It is a bit skewed when someone offers a set of 100 trading cards for a total price of 10 euros, equal to a comic shop with 100 strips of total value of 1000 euros.
The second reason is the store of Eric T.
He may have a large store, but his items are mainly in sections that have not really got off the ground.
His turnover is therefore zero so far. .
Then it's a bit strange when he's put on a par with someone who sells a comic book every day.
Sellers for unpopular categories are important because they ensure that prices are added to the products, which may otherwise remain without price for a long time.
This also makes such a column a bit more interesting, which is good for Catawiki as a whole.
That is why it seems fairer / better if it depends on the turnover made.

Hi Arwin,
So the idea is that it is a commission on real sales. So if you don't sell anything it doesn't cost anything. With the income we mainly want to do promotion, so it is especially in the interest of sections that are not yet running very well.
A good point, by the way, when drawing a limit on which shops pay commission, not to look at the number of items but at the total value.
René

Okay René, I understand that.
Incidentally, I am not against it.
I also understand that it is beneficial for collectors if Catawiki generates money.
Moreover, it also affects me not personally, because I don't offer anything for sale anyway, so go ahead ;-)
I was more concerned that, as it was presented, small providers in the trading cards, would be disadvantaged compared to small providers in other sections, such as the comics.
Thank you for taking a look at that.
I would also like it if you only have to pay commission from a certain amount, otherwise the system is disadvantageous for sellers such as Eric.
In some sections, there is just not much money involved at the moment.
The promotion around Catawiki is (rightly) focused mainly on the successful sections, so small sections do not benefit that much, I think.
When sellers like Eric have to deduct commission immediately with the first, and perhaps some sale, this is especially disadvantageous for the small sections.
Moreover, Catawiki does not generate anything in terms of income.
If you only have to pay commission from a certain amount, small providers will also automatically remain out of harm's way, so you no longer have to distinguish between small and large stores.
Someone who offers 1 item with a value of 100 euros, will therefore immediately have to contribute something to maintaining Catawiki when it is sold, but that is also justified in itself, I think.

Good thing to make the shop owners pay for the very nice site. I have already had many orders because a group of volunteers and / or comic lovers put their valuable hours into it. A subscription related
to the number of items seems to me the most transparent. In addition, might it be possible to put an idea for future auctions in the large Catawiki cabinet? I would like to pay the percentages to be paid to Ebay to a group that has more feeling for it.

@ Willem-Naber
I think you shouldn't overestimate that. There are certainly a number of retailers who loyally import items and contribute a lot to the site. But there are also a lot of traders active on Catawiki, for whom the site is purely a sales channel, who do not enter anything themselves and who only piggyback on the efforts of others.
This second category will undoubtedly take its toll. This may lose potential income, but it really doesn't matter to the catalog.
The others, who are here because they are also enthusiasts, will remain

Hi Willem,
The feedback I get from shops - in well-filled sections such as Comics, Stamps, etc. - is that the biggest advantage of Catawiki is that you can offer your stock very quickly. Nowhere can this be done so quickly. You always have to scan and describe yourself. Get it on if you have a stock of thousands or tens of thousands of items. In addition, buyers can search through the catalog in a very structured way and easily find your offer. If we ask a few percent commission when you sell something, it will certainly outweigh this convenience. Moreover, we will then use that income for further promotion and improvement of the site, which will of course benefit the shops.
Regards, René

We will soon send a newsletter about shopping cart and other shop improvements.
And about selling: you can always make an offer :-)
Seriously: no, this is too much fun and I certainly don't want to stop!

@ rene,
let's hope so, but to a million (s) you won't say no, will you?
Marktplaats went to E-bay for 112 million.

Hmmm, if nothing changes then who cares?
I also think that the shopping cart works very well, unfortunately only the things that I am looking for are not offered. :(
Oh and when will the DVD and other sections come or are they not coming due to competition problems?

Indeed Willem. That makes it much more complex and we have to do it very carefully.

Dear Rene,
Would like to respond to the commission topic, thanks to the shopping cart we now have a good overview of what is happening, unfortunately these sales are not all sales, but also with questions of 'I want to have them for this and that price', they stand or stated under sales, it has also already happened that orderers do not put the article in the shopping cart 1x but 2x and really only want 1.
By the way, think it is quite an improvement.
greetings, Aad van Aelix Comics and Comics.

Hi Aelix,
It's great that the shopping cart works well.
Soon there will of course be the option to indicate if something has not been sold in the end (then you can put it back in your shop from your order list because it will also automatically go from your shop to your order list when someone orders something). Even if a different price has been negotiated.
greetings, René
