2. participate in 4 auctions and earn 4 ratings.

After you have met the seller qualifications, you may register your account as a seller. There are three types of sellers:

• Personal: A private seller with the occasional item. There are no further requirements or obligations to being a personal seller.
• Business: A business seller must provide proof of business. A tax ID is required for registration. Business sellers must accept eCash on PhiMart transactions, and distribute olives as rewards to buyers. The olives may be set as a fixed amount, or as a percentage of the final price. The minimum percentage is .5%, and the maximum is 5%.
• Premium: Premium Sellers are PhiMart's top sellers. Only Business Sellers may apply for Premium Seller status. To become a Premium Seller, the seller must have had an account for more than 60 days. They must average $1000 in their monthly transactions for 3 consecutive months, and have over 50 ratings, with 98% positive ratings. If the positive rating drops below 98%, Premium Seller status may be revoked.

When you wish to become a seller, click the "Seller Registration" link. Approval for Personal Sellers is automatic and immediate, provided that you have met the seller requirements. Business and Premium Sellers must be manually approved by PhiMart.

You may also upload single products through our web interface. Please note that your settings cannot be saved when using the web interface.

Credit Cards: Make sure that you have the capabilities to process credit cards before selecting this method. There are many third party credit card processing services, but beware of fraudulent services.

PayPal/Google Checkout: PayPal and Google Checkout are fast and convenient, but not all buyers have a PayPal or Google Checkout account. Both offer limited protection services to buyers and sellers.

Personal Check/Money Order: Buyers mail you a personal check or money order. You will have to wait for the funds to clear before you are able to receive your money. It's a good idea to ask buyers to send the check or money order through registered mail, especially for high priced items.

eCash: Buyers may have eCash funds from olives distributed by Premium Sellers. Business and Premium Sellers cannot refuse to accept eCash for their products.

To avoid conflict, sellers should clearly outline the terms of refund in their item descriptions. If a refund is necessary, the buyer and seller should communicate with each other on the best way to return the money to the buyer.
