Listing a DVD on Adult DVD Marketplace is free... you will only pay a commission when your DVD sells. At that time we will collect your sales price from the buyer, add to that a shipping credit to help cover your shipping expenses, and deduct our commission of $.50 plus 15% of the sales price. These funds are deposited into your seller account, the entire balance of which is paid out to you monthly.

If you plan on selling a large number of DVDs each month, you can avoid the $.50 fee by joining our Merchant Subscription program.

Adult DVD Marketplace sellers ship items directly to their buyers. Sellers are required to ship within two business days of the purchase, and we request that the seller use inconspicuous packaging that doesn't reveal the nature of the package.

The shipping credit you will receive is $ 3.00 for the first DVD, and $ 1.00 for each additional DVD purchased by the same buyer. So, if a buyer purchases three DVDs in an order, you would receive a total shipping credit of $ 5.00 for that order. Shipment is required even if the shipping credit does not cover all shipping costs. Such discrepancies should be accounted for in the price you set.

If you decide to support Expedited Shipping, and the customer selects this shipping option, then you will receive an increased shipping credit of $ 6.00 for the first DVD in the order.

We are in the process of introducing a beta program of international shipping on a limited basis.

Participation in this program is initially by invite only.

The shipping credit you will receive is $ 24.00 for the first DVD, and $ 0.25 for each additional DVD purchased by the same buyer.

These orders are to be shipped International Priority, packaging only the disks and artwork, no cases.

To avoid customs issues, orders to Japan will not include artwork.

To prevent an accumulation of unmaintained listings, listings that have not been sold, or had their price modified after four months will be expired. In the case of an expiration, you will receive an email containing instructions on how automatically re-list the product.

Sellers on Adult DVD Marketplace are reimbursed for their sales in one of the following ways:

1. Throughout the month your current sellers account balance can be used towards purchases on our site. The credit from sales is available for purchase on the next business day following a sale, and can be applied towards an order from the checkout screen.



2. If you've opted to receive reimbursements via PayPal (from the "Seller Profile" page of our site), then we will send your reimbursements directly to your PayPal account via PayPal Mass Payment (you will not be charged a fee by PayPal -- we pay all necessary fees for you). On the first business day of each month we will transfer necessary funds to our PayPal account (which takes 5-7 business days), after which the funds will be distributed to individual seller PayPal accounts. So, the funds should be available in your PayPal account approximately 5-7 business days after the first of the month. Please be sure that the email address you use on this site has been added to your PayPal account if you opt to receive PayPal reimbursements.
   
   Note that it is not possible to select PayPal reimbursements until 30 days after your first sale.



3. If you haven't selected reimbursement via PayPal, and your monthly sales balance exceeds $20.00, then you will be mailed a reimbursement check on the first business day of each month covering your prior month's sales. These payment checks are in the name of our corporate entity, ADM Media, Inc., so they can be deposited in a discreet manner.
   
   If your sales volume for the month is less than $20.00 then this balance will be automatically carried over to the following month's account.
   
   If at the end of the month you no longer have any additional titles listed for sale on our site, then you will be reimbursed the full amount of your seller's account balance.

Note that from your "Seller Profile" page you can choose to have your reimbursement withheld. In this case, it will not be sent at month-end so that it can be accumulated for future use, such as for purchases from our site. You may turn this option off at any time.

Once you have been selling on our site for more than a month, and have accumulated an average feedback rating greater than 4.75, you can optionally begin using the credit you've accrued from sales on our site towards purchases from other sellers.

This credit will be made available the next day after a sale is transacted, and can be used up until the time the balance is reimbursed to you. Note that you can turn off reimbursements through the "Seller Profile" page so that credits are accumulated up until the time you chose to use them on purchases rather than being reimbursed according to our normal rules.

If a credit you have credit available for purchases, it will be displayed on the order checkout screen, along with an option to apply this credit towards the order.

If you have a large inventory of DVDs to sell at Adult DVD Marketplace, a Merchant Subscription will allow you to access more powerful tools for managing your listings, while also lowering your overall expenses. With a Merchant Subscription, the $.50-per-sale commission is waived on every listing you create-- you pay only the remaining 15% commission. Plus, you'll have access to tools for importing your listings automatically so that you can easily manage hundreds or thousands of listings. Finally, under the Merchant Subscriptions program you can opt to receive seller reimbursement payments on a more frequent basis. Contact us for more information on this program.

Please pack and ship your DVDs in a professional manner by following these guidelines:

• In order to respect the privacy of the buyer, please do not label in the package in any way so as to reveal the adult nature of the contents.
  
  
• Carefully wrap and clearly label your packages.
  
  
• To protect used DVDs during transit, place a tissue or peice of thin bubble wrap inside the case over the spindle, to prevent the disc from coming off the spindle and getting scratched.
  
  
• Use a complete return address, printed in a neat and legible manner, on all packages.
  
  
• Include the packing slip provided in your "Sold--Ship Now!" e-mail, or a similar written reminder of the transaction details, with your item.
  
  
• E-mail your buyer when you ship their item. Let them know it is on the way, and by what method you have shipped it.
  
  
• Please note that shipping a single DVD via USPS First Class rate can be cheaper and faster than USPS Media Mail rate if pacakaged carefully. We encourage you to use this shipping method if possible.
  
  
• If a single customer purchases a large number of DVDs from you in a single order, we strongly recommend that you insure the shipment to protect you from any loss during transit.

In order to protect your privacy, we will not provide buyers with any contact info for you except for your e-mail and Adult DVD Marketplace username.

Likewise, in order to protect the privacy of our buyers, we absolutely forbid the use of a customer's contact information for any purpose other than for fulfilling the order for which it was provided. This includes any subsequent communications or solicitations either electronic or otherwise. Failure to follow this policy is a violation of our Sellers Agreement, and will result in being permanently barred from the site.

We welcome your new and used DVD listings on our site. However, the following types of listings are prohibited:

• DVD recordings not created by the copyright holder, including recopied media in any form.



• Any media format other than DVD, such as VHS tapes.



• Any DVD encoded with a region code other than Region 1 or Region 0/non-encoded, including PAL DVDs, UNLESS this DVD is explicitly listed in our database as an import title.

Currently you can buy DVDs in five categories-- New, Like New, Very Good, Good, and Acceptable.

• New: Just like it sounds. A brand-new, unused, unopened DVD in perfect condition in its original packaging and with all original packaging materials included.
  
  
• Like New: A DVD in perfect condition, in its original case, with its original artwork. A DVD in this condition should be indistinguishable from a new DVD other than being out of its original packaging material.
  
  
• Like New w/o Case and Artwork: Same as above without the case and artwork.
  
  
• Very Good: A well-cared-for DVD in its original case with its original artwork that has been viewed, but remains in great condition.
  
  
• Very Good w/o Case and Artwork: Same as above without the case and artwork.
  
  
• Good: A DVD in its original case with its original artwork with clear external signs of wear, but one that continues to play perfectly.
  
  
• Good w/o Case and Artwork: Same as above without the case and artwork.
  
  
• Acceptable: A DVD with or without its original case and artwork, showing external signs of wear, but one that continues to play perfectly.
  
  
• Unacceptable: DVD recordings not created by the copyright holder, including recopied media in any form.

To create a sellers account simply click the "Register" button on the "User Account" menu. Once you have created a standard customer account, click on the "Start Selling DVDs..." link under the "Account Info" menu.

To ensure the integrity of our marketplace sellers, we will need to pieces of info from you:

1. We will need a valid credit card account with billing address info. We will use this info only for address verification purposes-- the credit card number will not be stored, and no charge will be maid (only a temporary authorization will be used to perform the verification).


2. We will need a valid cell phone number that can receive SMS messages. We will send a code to this SMS number that you will need to activate your seller's account.

In an effort to help you price your DVD competitively, we will provide you with a suggested selling price if we have retail prices available.

The suggested selling price for an item is calculated as a percentage of the best on-line retail price for a new copy of the item and depends upon the quality of the item. The pricing table we use is as follows:

Condition	Suggested Price (percentage of best on-line retail price)
Like New	70%
Very Good	60%
Good	50%
Acceptable	40%
