LastDodo site & app/Important changes for sellers165 messages

We noticed that our commission model for the shops, where you receive an invoice afterwards unless you cancel the order as a seller, often leads to questions and administrative hassle. There are also regular discussions about the limit of 200 euros in shop value that is used to determine whether you are subject to commission (small shops are exempt from commission). We therefore looked for a simpler commission model. We have found that and we will implement it on March 5th.

• Placing and selling objects with a sales price lower than 75 euros is now completely free! We will therefore no longer charge a commission for these objects. The vast majority of items offered in shops fall into this category.
• For the sale of objects of 75 euros or more we no longer charge commission costs, but we will charge 9.5% (ex VAT) placement costs.
• The changes will take effect on March 5. There is a transition period until April 1 and a discount offer for expensive items that are still in your shop. So you can consider whether you want to keep your expensive items in your shop or, for example, have them auctioned at our weekly auctions.

• Anyone who wants to offer objects with a sale price of 75 euros or more in their shop, buys a balance credit from us (25, 50, 75 or 100 euros).
• If you then place an object of 75 euros or more in your shop, 9.5% (ex VAT) of the sales price will automatically be deducted from your credit after confirmation. There is, via your profile page, a clear overview available of all debits and credits from your credit.

• No more hassle with invoices afterwards
• You can sell items with a sale price lower than 75 euros in your shop for free and unlimited
• You no longer pay commission afterwards on items you have sold
• Objects can remain in your shop until they are sold
• The balance credit that you purchase from us is valid indefinitely

think that this is at the expense of the expensive items in the shops

this new measure

@puurveen,

You can read quickly say :-)

Less expensive items will probably be offered in shops, but it will also give an impulse to the purchase and sale of items cheaper than 75 euros. So that will be completely free.

had um in de box hangen

waarom denkje dat de verkoop van goedkope items meer word?

het aanbod zal groeien

heb het gold verhaal gelezen ben nog niet echt overtuigd

komt er dan een mega banner op de home page van bijv koop nu bij puurveensboekenshop?

je staat dan bovenaan maar in 1 oogopslag sta je met de andere verkopers

en als bijv 2 verkopers zelfde produckt hebben en gold ??

ik vond de 5 % prima duidelijke regel

waarom die 200 grens was me al een raadsel iets voor kleine verkopers geloof ik

maar je krijgt idd gegarandeerd gezeik over

marktplaats.nl had destijds ook een grens alles onder

de 200 gratis daarna 6 euro

ook paginia's vol discussie

gelukkig hebben ze dat afgeschaft

ps  Jacquelien Doornbosch ff een por

ps 2 ga nu van de zon genieten

had um hanging in the box

why do you think the sale of cheap items is increasing?

the supply will grow

I've read the gold story, I'm not really convinced yet

will there be a mega banner on the home page of, for example, buy now at Zuiverveensboekenshop?

you are then at the top, but at a glance you are with the other sellers

and if, for example, 2 sellers have the same product and gold ??

I found the 5% perfectly clear rule

why that 200 limit was already a mystery to me something for small sellers I believe

but you will definitely get a kick out of it

marktplaats.nl also had a limit under everything at the time

the 200 free after that 6 euros

also pages full of discussion

luckily they have done away with that

ps Jacquelien Doornbosch a poke

ps 2 now go enjoy the sun

Placing and selling objects with a sale price lower than 75 euros is now completely free

Does the € 75 also apply to combination offers or is the value shared by the number of items in that promotion?

This new commission model will undoubtedly boost sellers to offer more items in the shops. This also makes it very nice for collectors who get more choice.

So if I place 100 strips á € 1.00 as bulk in my shop, I have to pay € 9.50 in advance, even if I have not sold them yet or if I later want to change my offer, I have to pay a placement fee again.

@ Fam-Comics,

When adding bulk in individual items, the selling price of the individual items is taken into account, so if it is below 75 euros, it is also completely free and you do not pay any commission on anything.

@Collectioneur,

With a combination offer, ie a combination of items for one sales price, the sales price of the combination offer is considered. You only pay a placement fee if the combination offer has a sales price of 75 euros or more.

@Puurveen,

As the supply continues to increase, Catawiki will become even more the place where collectors will look to expand their collection, so the demand will also increase.

I also have to go now. See you later.

I read between the lines that it was in any case starting to become a serious problem that all kinds of so-called smart guys, especially in more expensive things, used their shop primarily as an advertising page and then tried to arrange the actual sales outside the Catawiki system to get the commission bypass.

So for the Tarzan 118 pieces for € 1607.00 that I offer in my shop, I now have to pay more than € 150.00 in advance without them being sold.

I thought the 5% rule was a good rule. I understand it, by the way, it is a huge hassle to collect those commissions, especially with late payers, etc. And especially when it comes to selling items for a few euros, for example. One has to run after a duppie. This can be prevented by setting a credit (as is now introduced for expensive sales). With a credit of 10 euros you can then sell for 200 euros. This is also a financial hassle and more importantly I think, this costs extra hours (read costs) for the administrative management. The gold shop will pass by the vast majority. Most are small shops, like mine. Correct me if I am wrong. The risk here is that Catawiki will become a platform for the professional sellers (these are in fact online stores) and the small sellers are increasingly marginalized. That would be a shame. So far I have had nice experiences with selling, but still made some people happy. And also with purchases, often pleasant communication.

Man man what an incredibly bad idea ...

Yes it will boost the sale of cheaper items, but it will kill the more expensive, less traded, items. There are thousands of items that certainly have a (sales) value of more than 75 euros, but which are only sold sporadically. These items will all disappear from the shops.

No person will place an item with a value of, for example, 400 euros on Catawiki for 38 euros, even though they do not even know when or whether they will ever sell the item. The ratio is really completely lost, because what if you want to offer twenty books with a high value?

The result will be that a large uniform sausage will arise, with items under 75 euros (much more than now) and some items above 75 euros that are regularly sold. All other items will disappear because it is simply too expensive. Those items, among others, were the strength of Catawiki.

I understand that a solution is being sought for sellers who try to sell their products outside the system and thus avoid their commission, but I fear that this decision will will ensure that there will be less earned ...

Is there a way to quickly see all the items in my shop that cost more than 75?

yes, click on price, then selection will take place from low to high or from high to low

Denz has a point. I once put a rare Dali catalog up for auction. Not sold, costs 21 euros. If I place it in the shop, I can pay nearly 35 euros in advance without it being sold.

Ik voorspel veel prijzen van 74,99 euro en minder in mijn shop dan.

Ben er wel blij mee dat dat dan allemaal gratis is :-)

en veel kavels op de veiling van 75 euro en meer.

Toch maar de dure boeken meenemen naar de beurzen dan.

Gelukkig weet ik het nu vlak voor de stripdagen.

Dure boeken dan maar op Marktplaats zetten.

Wel jammer want er zullen nu minder dure items worden ingevoerd ten faveure van de Catalogus.

Ben benieuwd waar dit naar toe gaat?

Als ik het goed gelezen heb hoef ik niks te doen tot 01-04 alleen wat prijzen wijzigen misschien.

I predict a lot of prices of 74.99 euros and less in my shop than.

I'm glad it's all free :-)

and many lots at the auction of 75 euros and more.

Anyway, take the expensive books to the fairs.

Fortunately, I now know just before the comic days.

Then put expensive books on Marktplaats.

It's a pity because less expensive items will now be imported in favor of the Catalogue.

Curious where this is going?

If I've read it correctly I don't have to do anything until 01-04 just change some prices maybe.

return marketplace, ebay, second-hand, fairs ... is a bit crazy, no longer a collector's site but pure booze. People who dutifully pay their commission are punished. As a trader / collector I understand very well that a site like Catawiki should generate income, I would like to help by paying my commission on my sales, also on expensive items! .. I and others spend hours adding items to make Catawiki great .. In order to 'reimburse' others (read the Catawiki team) extra with my 'free' contribution, find about it. If I could I would like to delete all my entered items, I am really unhappy about this change. Like all other sites, Catawiki is just as much as any other… collecting money, nothing else. shame!

ps. combination offer. If it is more than 75 euros, sellers will reset it to individual items. There is a description, "also in 1 sale with other items of the same series, possibly with a discount, contact us via message". A good analysis with a few buyers / sellers in a platform would have provided a better solution and support. As is often the case, the solution is devised without taking a good look at the path to it.

Also the time frame for announcement / effective date is too tight. You will only just be on vacation until April 1. All your items above 75 euros bargain

A pity because less expensive items will now be imported in favor of the Catalog.

The largest group of importers are the buyers and collectors, so I'm not afraid of that for

Om dan ten lange leste anderen (lees het catawiki-team) extra te 'vergoeden' met mijn 'gratis' inbreng vind er erover.

Het lijkt me overigens meer een maatregel om de kosten voor het Catawiki-team te verlagen dan om de inkomsten te verhogen.

Ben er wel blij mee dat dat dan allemaal gratis is :-)

Dit is ook mijn gevoel, omdat verreweg de meeste verkopen, items betreffen die minder dan € 75 kosten.

Bij de invoering van de oude commissieregeling werden er destijds ook hele doemscenario's aangekondigd; dit zou ondermeer het einde van Catawiki gaan betekenen. Sinds die tijd is er toch aardig wat verbeterd aan Catawiki.

In order to finally 'compensate' others (read the catawiki team) with my 'free' input find about it.

Incidentally, it seems to me more of a measure to reduce costs for the Catawiki team than to increase income.

I'm glad it's all free :-)

This is also my feeling, because the vast majority of sales are for items that cost less than € 75.

When the old commission scheme was introduced, whole doomsday scenarios were announced at the time; this would mean, among other things, the end of Catawiki. Since that time, quite a bit has been improved on Catawiki.

@ Veilingmeesters, Grote kopers en topverzamelaars zullen wegblijven van de catalogus.

Dure items zal ik zelf blijven aanbieden op de veiling en ik denk dat ook deels het plan is van de opzet van dit systeem.

Maar ik besluit om alle dure boeken van 75 euro uit de shop te verwijderen dat scheelt me administratief veel.

Daardoor kan ik wel weer op een andere manier in de shop korting gaan geven.

Heb ik net een verzameling mooie hardcovers en luxes gekocht gelukkig nog niet alles ingevoerd dus dan zet ik de series wel op de veiling.

@ Auctioneers, Big Buyers and top collectors will stay away from the catalogue.

I will continue to offer expensive items at the auction myself and I think that is also part of the plan for setting up this system.

But I decide to remove all expensive books of 75 euros from the shop, which saves me a lot of administrative costs.

As a result, I can give a discount in the shop in a different way.

I just bought a collection of beautiful hardcovers and luxury items, luckily not everything has been entered yet, so I will put the series up for auction.

I was away for a while, but it is nice that this change is paid attention :-)

We do indeed assume that this change will bring us considerably less shop commission income on balance, the vast majority of items sold are cheaper than 75 euros, but that was not what we were interested in.

This will apply to many sellers and that's fine.

If I have read correctly I don't have to do anything until 04-01, just maybe change some prices.

Indeed. If you do nothing, the offer of 75 euros or more will disappear from your shop on April 1. There is then no more commission on the rest and your shop will then be free.

That is indeed an annoying phenomenon and it certainly played a role.

That is of course up to each seller to assess. If an item is sought after a lot, it can be sold very quickly if you offer it in your shop. You can now see that happening regularly. If you don't have confidence in it, you also have the option to auction it with us. Every seller can make such considerations himself.

There is an offer for what is already in your shop. You have the option to leave it at half the placement fee after March 31. In any case, this change means that all items under 75 euros in your shop will no longer cost you any commission at all.

Major buyers and top collectors will stay away from the catalog.

Everyone should know that for themselves, of course, but when I was at school 9.5% was really less than 12 , 5%. And 0% was less than 9%. So if you know the approximate value of an item, both seller and buyer are cheaper through the shop in a transaction than through the auction.

I have now REMOVED all items with a sale price of € 75.00 and higher. Under the currently applicable conditions, it is no longer profitable for my stamp shop and the margins used to offer these items via CATAWIKI. I would like to make way for the professional traders.

I would like to further reflect on the GOLDEN shop program. For the time being, the benefits do not seem to outweigh the requested price. The profit on my assortment of stamps is dime and I do not want to increase my prices towards the collectors. First I want to wait and see the developments.

The design of CATAWIKI has always been a collectors site and collecting is a hobby for most people. This may also cost something. But when SOMETHING gets - MUCH the fun goes away anyway.

@ john-seeker,

But when SOMETHING gets - MUCH the fun goes away anyway.

Then you will probably have a lot of extra fun now because on your remaining 26,000+ items you now no longer have to pay commission when selling, so NOTHING anymore ;-)
