Quote:Alibris fee changes
Alibris will discontinue the "$1 per retail item sold" fee option as of January 1, 2006. Instead, a new $9.95 monthly fee will be implemented for sellers with less than 500 items listed. All other monthly fees will remain the same.
The new monthly fee schedule simplifies our pricing structure and reduces the confusion surrounding the "$1 per retail item sold" program. Sellers currently in the "$1 per retail item sold" program will automatically be enrolled in the appropriate monthly fee category based on inventory size as of January 1, 2006.
We undertake this change after careful consideration and analysis. While some benefited from the "$1 per retail item sold" program, it confused many, was difficult to manage and resulted in a substantial group of sellers who abandoned accounts and were less then professional in their fulfillment operations.
The new fee schedule provides a low-cost solution for sellers with distinctive inventory to participate and prosper on Alibris. Please e-mail sellers@alibris.com if you have any questions.
