will you make an announcement here when it's up and running?
will there also be guidelines for image sizes, resolutions, etc etc etc?

I am still tinkering in the back end with everything that it does. As far as images, the allowed images is pretty small because they are stored on our server. There will, however be the option for someone to host their photos on an outside source (like Photobucket) and hotlink. This system isnt very fancy at all so I am also keeping my eye open for something better |

then, sales go through this site? you guys will be making a percentage or something off sales, right? it's only fair to offset the costs for hosting the images and whatnot onsite.

You are correct on the thumbnails Wil! I think it would give folks a better option to have MORE photos this way, and it wont tax our storage as badly. At this time, The Planet has no plans to take a percentage of sales from any of the sellers. We have kinda struggled over how to address the issue of "to charge or not to charge". I dont want to charge folks for this service but it WILL take up space on the server and possibly cost a little extra in bandwidth if the usage is moderate to heavy. I had thought of maybe making it a $9 a year service with unlimited listings. This would ONLY be needed to cover any additional load on the servers but right now, the Planet is in such good financial shape that I just dont have the heart or think its necessary. I think that we can maybe give folks the option to make a tiny donation if they feel they need to? One of the main reasons I wanted to see this happen here is because I really do believe in keeping the Queer dollars flowing to one another in our community and there are a ton of people here who are either low-income or on a fixed income who could really use a free option to make a little $$ for themselves. With eBay being SO expensive with fees, I want Queerbay to really reflect our vision of supporting the site and one another. Ideas? Thoughts? |

What about having people link their products to a picture in their Gallery?

the $9/yr seller fee is more than reasonable. cheap bastid that i am, i could buck up for that without breaking a sweat. the only other thing i could think of would be a fee based and $ amount of sales. below a certain mark, it's free...then structure it upwards. of course that's a lot of math, and i'm sure it'd be a pain in the ass. the option to donate a portion of each sale is a nice idea. after all, ain't nothin' in this life free or easy. i'm excited to see it up and running. maybe it'll motivate me to get off my ass and put some stuff together, eh?
