Seller FAQs
When pricing your items, consider factors such as the value of your resource, the market demand, and the time and effort spent creating it. We recommend researching similar products to understand competitive pricing. If you’re unsure, start with a reasonable introductory price and adjust as you receive feedback from customers. Keep in mind that processing fees and a small commission will be assessed as well.
Once a transaction is complete, you will receive payment according to the payment method you selected in your account settings. Payments are processed securely through our platform.
While you don’t need any special license to sell resources on Resourcery, we do require that all content you upload be your own intellectual property or that you have the necessary rights to distribute it. This ensures that buyers are receiving authentic and legally compliant products.
You may choose to offer a refund under certain conditions, such as if the buyer receives a faulty product or if there is a dispute. If a refund request is made, you will be notified via email with further instructions on how to proceed.
To attract more buyers to your listings, make sure your product descriptions are clear, detailed, and compelling. Use a high-quality image for the thumbnail, and highlight the unique features of your resources. Competitive pricing can also help. Additionally, regularly updating your listings and engaging with customer reviews can increase visibility. Don’t forget to share your listings on social media and professional networks to boost exposure.
