SELLERS PREPARE AND PRICE THEIR OWN ITEMS Sellers select and prepare their items for the sale (please see the list of items you can/cannot sell), decide how much each item will cost, enter each item (including one photo of each item) online in their MyCM user account, and print and attach price tags to each item. Sellers can sell up to 300 items for the online sale. Once you put an item in the online sale, you may not use that item, or have it listed for sale on other sites. You are committing to selling your item in the Stavanger Kids Sale online shop.
OPTION TO SELL ITEMS FOR 50% OFF Sellers have the option (and are strongly encouraged) to sell any or all of their remaining items for 50% off during the half-price online sale on 22-23 May (and also at the Half-Price Pre-Sale for volunteers only on Friday evening, 21 May).
SELLERS MUST FOLLOW OUR INSTRUCTIONS Sellers are expected to follow our tagging instructions which include specific information on how items should be entered into MyCM (including selecting the correct categories and sizes), and how tags should be printed and attached to each item. Sellers who do not follow our instructions will not be allowed to participate.

DROPPING OFF ITEMS Sellers must sign up for an appointment from their seller page on MyCM to check in and drop off their SOLD items at Madla Bydelshus on Thursday (27 May) between 15.00-22.00 or Friday (28 May) between 08.30-18.00.
SELLERS EARN 70-75% Sellers receive 70% of their sales. Sellers who also volunteer to help out at the sale (one or more 3-hour shifts on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday 27-30 May) will receive 75% of their sales. Please note that a registration fee of 50 kr will be deducted from the seller's revenues at the end of the sale. This fee helps to cover just a small portion of the expenses incurred in running the sale. Sellers will receive their earnings in their bank accounts on Wednesday, 9 June. |

DEADLINE TO CANCEL SELLER REGISTRATION Registered sellers who find that they cannot participate as planned need to cancel their registration before the deadline (Monday, 3 May at 20.00) by sending an email to Stavanger Kids Sale. This deadline is in place in order to give us enough time to contact people on the waiting list so that they have enough time to enter their items before the deadline. Sellers who cancel their registration after this deadline will be sent a faktura/invoice for the 50 kr registration fee since they took a seller spot that won't be used.

SHOP THE PRE-SALE! Sellers and volunteers will get to shop the private pre-sale ONLINE on Friday evening (14 May). Volunteers and sellers can shop at the following times:
QUALITY ITEMS ONLY! We only accept quality items in VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION. Customers may return items that were labeled incorrectly (wrong size was entered by the seller), are damaged, broken, stained, or missing pieces -- in other words, items that do not meet our standards. We will collect returned items, and sellers can pick them up at a later date. We will charge sellers a fee for each item that is returned: 10% of the sale price or 20 kr (whichever is greater). This penalty system is in place to encourage quality items only, to cover transaction fees, and to reimburse us for the extra work that is involved in processing returns. Only customers who need to return items may enter Madla bydelshus. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, we want to limit the number of people in the building. |
