We charge a seller a fixed fee to provide the following services.
Automatic Data Entry and Border Ads
Sellers using the Automatic Data Entry process can manage their steel by providing
an updated file. The steel from the previous file is deleted and the steel in the
new file is added to the Multi-Supplier Inventory. Sellers can also use
Manage Your Steel to edit and delete their steel in the Inventory. We charge
$100 US per month to use the Automatic Data Entry process and this also includes
the ability of the seller to display his company's logo randomly on each page.
Sellers and others can have their company logo appear randomly on each page of Steel
Spider. The logo links to the seller's website or we can set up a Company Profile
page that the logo can link to is the seller provides the content for the page.
Receive Inquiries
We charge a seller $100 US per quarter (or $40 per month) to receive Inquiries. Sellers
can receive Inquiries without charge for a period of time sufficient to evaluate
the potential value of these Inquiries to the seller. A seller can receive inquiries
without charge until we contact him. A seller will not be invoiced for receiving
Inquiries until after he authorizes us to invoice. Spider Bites are messages sent
through Steel Spider where a buyer is responding to a specific item in the Inventory.
Spider Bites are not considered Inquiries and there is no charge to send or receive
a Spider Bite.
If a Seller using the Automatic Data
Entry process to post their steel in our searchable Inventory has one or
more people in his company at his location receiving inquiries we only charge for
one person. Additional people in his company and at the same office can receive
Inquiries at no additional charge. This works out to $400 per quarter regardless
of the number of people at the subscriber's location receiving Inquiries.
If multiple people in the same office all wish to receive Inquiries, we charge $200
per quarter.
Multiple Item Auctions
For Multi-Item Auctions the seller provides a file describing his steel much in
the same manner as files are provide with the Automatic Data Entry Process. Contact
us if you are interested in having us provide you with the capability to run Multi-Item
Auctions. These auctions need to be tailored to the seller's particular product
and automated so he can periodically run these auctions. We charge a seller a flat
fee of $300 to run a Multi-Item Auction. There is no buyer's premium, fee
or commission applicable to the bidders or the seller.
