- You can display an unlimited number of stock items you have for sale in the AntiquesPlus Gallery, each with up to eight images.
- We have set up an AntiquesPlus prepaid wallet system for dealers who post items for sale in the AntiquesPlus gallery. You can purchase credit in the amounts of $25.00, $50.00, $100.00 or a nominated amount above $25.00 to add to your wallet. As you add items, the charge for each item will deducted from your wallet at our standard rate. Once the amount remaining in your wallet reaches a minimum figure, you 'll have to purchase additional credit to top up your wallet, before you can add further items.
- Funds will be added to your AntiquesPlus wallet through our Eway secure server link. If you do not have a credit card, or do not want to process charges via the internet, you can contact us to make arrangements to add funds to your AntiquesPlus wallet either by cheque or authorising us to manually process your credit card.
- There is no need to resize images before uploading, as our system will automatically resize your images to internet display size. However if either the height or width of an image is less than 900 pixels, you will receive a message that the image size is too small.
- Our per item charges are based on the advertised selling price (ticket price) of each item you add. For items added as pairs or sets, the full price of the set must entered as the advertised selling price. Any subsequent increase in price after the item has been added will incur an additional charge being the difference between the original charge and the charge applicable at the revised ticket price.
- After 12 months the item will be removed and you will be sent an email advising you the item has been removed, and giving you the option over the next 90 days of reinstating the item for a further 12 months.
- Reinstated or extended items will be charged to your AntiquesPlus account at the standard rate, and will be displayed on the AntiquesPlus site for a further 12 months.
