NOW THE IMPORTANT BIT…   HOW YOU GET PAID.

When your shopper’s have completed their purchase from your Stall an automatic Email is generated informing you of your sale, a merchant / sellers invoice will automatically be sent to your buyer’s which will show your details a long with theirs.

On receipt of this email,you can forward your goods or services to your customer’s through your agreed carriage details or buyer to collect policy.

All monies form your sales are then placed in to a dedicated holding account for 7 days, this will allow time for all sales and returns to clear, after 7 days your monies are then forwarded to your accounts and for every 7 days for as long as you continue sell.

Goods returned to you within 7 days, in the condition in which they had been dispatched, please email allstalls and a full refund will be issued to your shoppers via the allstalls holding account.

Any items returned to you after 7 days, your customer must then refer to your own refunds and returns policy’s listed in your Stalls.

And just to remind you, your customers refunds should now include all their initial postage costs.

All postage costs for items returned to you will be met by the customer and not you the Stall Holder.

Please note allstalls does not take any commission fees from any of your postage charges.

Safe Selling Tips.

If you are selling a larger item or using a buyer to collect policy, before handing your goods over it is best to ask for payment in full first, either in Cash, Bankers Draft or Credit Card, and Remember, sometimes (particularly with overseas payments) a Cheque payment could still be withdrawn by the Bank even after it has cleared, talk to your bank for more information on this practice.

If you are being paid cash, study the notes for signs of counterfeit by feeling the paper, studying the printing, checking the watermark and the metallic thread. More information on checking for counterfeit money is available at The Bank of England website

Stall Holders Never proceed if a buyer is offering you too much money,then asking you to refund the difference to his business partner or friend, don’t get caught out, this is a scam.

just a few tips to on how to present your items to best effect…

The Background

It’s important that when you photograph your items that there’s nothing’s in the background that would distract from your product. Additionally, make sure it is well lite and shadows are kept to a minimum, that way your product will look more attractive with no distractions.

Be care when photographing shiny objects

Photographing shiny objects can be a bit hit and miss, items such as wine bottles or anything with a reflective surface will reflect ‘spots’ of light, therefore spots need to be shaded. Usually professional studios use a white umbrella, which allows the light through but removes the bright spot, i.e., it diffuses the spots of light. It’s probably safe to assume you don’t have a white umbrella, so a sheet of white paper or card positioned behind the camera will work a treat. Other solutions are: • Use bright ambient light from above/behind. • Do not use direct sunlight. As most people do not have access to professional studio lighting, the best lighting conditions are: • A sunny day • A bright cloudy day • Near a window, but not in direct sunlight. When you’ve taken your photo the chances are that you’ll have used a camera with at least 5-6 megapixel. This will be far too large to upload to Allstall.net. So you’ll have to reduce this picture down to a minimum of 800 x 600 pixels at 72 dpi (dots per inch), remember with large files upload times will take longer, we have found that a file size of between 70 and 150Kb is ideal. You can reduce your picture’s size in Microsoft Office applications, by inserting the picture into Microsoft Word and using the format picture tool bar.
