I would like a custom made design,
can you please quote for this?
I have set prices for custom design and can be found on either eBay
or Oztion. Please place your order and make your payment and then
I will send you an email requesting more information from you to create
your design.
The most basic requirements will be a listing page and store header/shop
banner.
I have my own logo, can I add this
to a pre-made template?
I will first need to review your logo to determine whether is is good
enough quality to add to the pre-made template. A fee of $19.99 USD
applies to have it added to a pre-made design.
Can I add more images to the template?
Unless otherwise state, all templates are made to grow in length so
you can add your as many images as you like. You may have a width
restriction and you will be informed of that when you are sent the
template file.
I cannot find a template to match
what I sell, can you make up a design for me to look at?
To be blunt - no. I have so many orders to complete, that I cannot
spare the time creating artwork that may never be purchased. Purchase
a custom-made template and I will be happy to create what ever you
want.
I cannot find a template that matches
what I sell
Try doing a search within my store and if you cannot find anything
that suites your needs, order a custom-design.
How long does it take to get my
template?
At present I am working to five to seven working days. If you want
your template same day (weekends excluded) then a 50% surcharge applies
on the total cost of your order.
Can you look at my listings and
tell me what you think I need
I am more than happy to give you an appraisal. It will be brief, unless
you make a purchase first and then I will go into detail about what
needs improving and what is working. Even if you are a Power Seller,
you still possibly could be doing it better. Greensburg Guitar and
Music, did just that and increased sales by 30% with the new listing
page format, and promotional graphics.
Can you alter my existing logo
and template?
If you are the owner of the copyright, then yes I can. Please confirm
this with the creator of your artwork first.
I would like to ring you to discuss
a few things, what is your phone number?
I do not offer a phone number being a web-based business. The reason
is that I work on a queue system and a phone call stops me in my tracks
from completing customer orders and answering email enquiries. Emails
are replied to promptly so just ask your questions and I will endeavour
to answer same day, if I can. I am sure you can appreciate the fact
that if I was trying to get your order completed, if I sent you an
email saying I was too busy answering phone calls, you would be pretty
much cheesed-off with me.
I have seen a template I like but
would like different colours, can they be changed?
Of course I can as I am a web developer. The majority of templates
can be converted to be used on your website as well, or I can custom
design. Pre-made web templates are $45.00 USD.
Can you fix up my shopping cart?
Email me the cart and I will give you an appraisal. I warn you now,
it most likely will not be cheap as you will be paying my hourly rate
to fix it.
Can I see samples of your work?
Please take the time to view all my templates to give you an idea
of the quality of my work plus my portfolio pages.
Can the templates be used on my
website?
Yes. See FAQ 11.
Do you also do listing templates
with categories and sub categories?
Yes I do. It is important for you to realise that customised menus
means if you alter/rename your categories, the menu will require altering
as well, or links will not work.
My fee is $3.50 per link, plus the cost to create any headings to
match your layout.
Can you change the layout or headings
on the pre-made templates?
Yes. Again as for FAQ 10, the template cost will be $95.00 USD.
Can I use your template in the
Turbo Lister?
The Turbo lister is just another way to add your listings, like doing
them direct on the eBay site, only it is on your own computer and
the uploaded when you are ready to upload. All you are doing is pasting
in the HTML code to the Lister. I provide full instructions on how
to do this.
Can I get matching eStationery?
Yes. All templates can be converted to HTML newsletters, or I can
custom make for you.
Can I direct deposit to your bank
account?
No. I no longer accept direct deposits to my bank account because
of bank fees and the fact, I never know when the payment has been
made as customers NEVER bother to tell me they have made the payment
and then I have to go hunting for it. Instead, I accept cash deposits
from PayPal so you can easily direct deposit there from your own bank
account. You get a confirmation email, and so do I. You also have
buyer protection and IT COSTS YOU NOTHING TO USE IT!
What does hosting your template
mean?
For the template images to appear in your listings, they need to be
'hosted' so that they are 'served-up' and visible to your buyers.
Template images are stored on our servers and we do not permit these
images to be stored on your own server, unless you pay a fee of $95.00
USD and then all images will be sent to you. This does not make you
the copyright owner, you are only granted permission to use this way.
If have no idea about HTML!
No problems - I expect the average buyer not to know HTML and so
my templates are created so you never have to worry about this.
Guaranteed DUMMY FRIENDLY!
PLEASE NOTE: The term 'dummy' is a word not as a put-down but rather
a term now used to describe a person with little knowledge on the
subject, but willing to learn more.
HTML code is what makes your template appear... if you did not
already know that.
Do I add the images and text myself
to the template?
Yes you do - very simple with the system I have in place for you to
use. You can also add different terms and conditions to each of your
listings.
I already have a look in mind,
can you do this for me?
Yes, I can via a custom design.
I am starting a new store/shop,
what do I need?
Please refer to the custom design section of my store. At a minimum,
you will need a custom listing page and header/banner.
Do you do Flash banners?
I can create anything that is digitally created. Animations, image
roll-overs, expandable/hidden menus, online forms - ANYTHING!
Do you create store fronts?
Yes I do. These are created at different levels, depending on which
package you have ordered.
Can I send you images to look at?
Please DO NOT email files over 500Kb in size or they will be rejected
and your email will never be received, nor read. Send an email first
letting me know you are going to send files if you are not sure and
please make it clear what the images are referring to and previous
conversations had. I get so many email enquiries from eBay that can
I lose track of discussions, if not recent.
What is a single user license?
This is a license I give for you to use my work for a 12 month
period. It means you do not have permission to use on a second auction
site, under a different name or on your own website. You can however,
use on as many pages under the purchased name as you like. If you
wish to use, elsewhere, all you do is purchase again and permission
will be given. If you wish to own the pre-made design outright so
no-one else does, pay the custom design fee and it will be removed
from re-sale.
My designs are not created in seconds and especially for custom
design, I research first before your design is created. This protects
my intellectual property and means I am not working for nothing!
Part of your single user license is that the digital artwork will
reference me as the designer. This is to protect my intellectual
property and your purchase from theft.
I need someone to maintain my store/shop,
can you do this?
Yes I do. I am presently webmaster to 12 websites and now I am offering
the same webmaster services to online auctions. Logs are kept and
when the phone rings or an email requires answering, I log off so
you can be rest assured that you are billed fairly. You will also
benefit from my extensive marketing expertise, small business experience
of 20 years plus creative web design skills.
Can you create a shopping cart
for me?
That is my full-time profession! I offer a pre-made cart which
I customise for you. You can do this yourself, however it will take
you days, even weeks to do it yourself and you do need web development
skills. My fee to customise, saves you time and stress!
TOTAL CONTROL OVER YOUR SHOPPING CART, SALES AND PROFITS
ALL YOU PAY FOR IS THE CART HOSTING AND FOR ME TO CUSTOMISE
What are colour codes?
The hexadecimal (geek speak) codes that the browser interprets
into colour.
I can customise any of the designs for any auction site. I have full
installation instructions for eBay and my instructions are written
for dummies! An additional license fee applies and I do check to see
if this is being abused and will act accordingly.
How do I receive my listing template?
Files are either emailed to you or you are sent a web link to download
larger files.
