QuiltBroker.com Guidelines for FREE quilt listings regarding those quilt submissions we choose to accept, display, and offer for sale on The QuiltBroker.com Web site: One of the keys to selling quilts is to provide good, focused photos of each quilt to be listed. The second key is to price it right for the online market and what a willing buyer would pay for your quilt. We do not 'help' you price your quilt. You must decide how much you wish to receive. We cannot guarantee that your quilt will sell as a result of being listed on The QuiltBroker.com. Only quilts that are NOT shown or listed elsewhere on the Internet will be accepted. You can request that your quilt listing be deleted at any time via e-mail notice or by phone, and we reserve the right to refuse or delete your listing at our discretion, and without prior notice. There is no charge to you for listing your 'accepted' quilts. We reserve the right not to list any quilt that we feel will not sell, or one that has poor photos. By submitting your quilt listing you agree to hold Design Plus 'harmless' in the event of litigation for any reason involving your quilt. Send digital photo(s) (.jpg or .png) via e-mail attachment with quilt description, accurate size in inches (width x length), and the price you want to be paid when the quilt sells. Send ONLY focused photos of quilts that are photographed on a vertical surface. The overall photo MUST include all four sides (edges) and corners of the quilt. Please DO NOT SEND photos taken of quilt displayed on a horizontal surface (e.g. floor, bed) because the perspective is distorted. Try hanging your quilt on a wall (horizontally or vertically) using sturdy sewing machine needles that will not harm the quilt or leave big holes in the wall. E-mail The QuiltBroker to get submission address. Then for your submission(s), put each quilt's "Title" in the Subject: line and use the same name/number in related photos. Please include your name, address, Paypal e-mail, and phone, the price you want to receive for quilt (we add for your shipping costs) on each e-mail. Once your quilt has been accepted, we enhance your image(s) by removing the background and optimize the file size for the Web. For pricing, we add 40% profit (on the selling price) to your asking price when determining the retail selling price. [Divide your price by .6 to determine retail listing price and then we will determine the shipping charges.] If your quilt sells on the QuiltBroker.com, we will pay your asking price plus additional funds to ship the quilt insured via PayPal.com, so it would be a good idea to activate a personal PayPal.com account in advance. You are paid faster this way. We send shipping information via e-mail. You will be expected to adequately box your quilt and promptly send it directly to the buyer via USPS Priority Mail - Insured, with Delivery Confirmation tag, UPS or FedEX - Insured with online tracking. All quilts are sold 'as is' so if there are any known problems with your quilt, please include that information with your description, so the prospective buyer will be aware. Some buyers like to know if the quilt is coming from a smoke-free or pet-free environment or if your quilt is considered "secondhand". If it is a genuine "antique" please document. if you choose to add a label listing fibers, please follow the instructions of the Textile and Wool Acts: http://ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/thread.pdf. If your listing description includes the words "secondhand" or if quilt is obviously "used" then your quilt is exempt from the FTC labeling requirement UNLESS you say something about fiber ON YOUR LABEL. You are responsible for correctly labeling your quilts in compliance with the Federal Trade commission (FTC) basic labeling requirements under the Textile and Wool Acts. You keep your quilt until it sells and you are free to sell it yourself privately (but not elsewhere on the Web) without paying Design Plus a commission. Please let us know when you sell a quilt that we have listed. All quilts are to be shipped via best way, INSURED, with delivery signature tag and online tracking. If any quilts are 'lost in transit', you will nedd to file carrier claim and reimburse us the full Insured amount received and we will refund the purchaser. We do not guarantee that your quilt will sell as a result of being listed on the QuiltBroker.com. We bear a reasonable risk of returns and refunds, so you don't have to. An exception would be if you misrepresented the information about your quilt and it was returned to us for improper quit labeling, the wrong size, or other defect that you should have told us about. Happy Quilting! Send us your quilt photos. Contact The QuiltBroker: info@quilts (http://xri.net/@quilts) |
