Welcome
to the Circle of Atlantis Marketplace
Membership Information and Sign-Up.
The
CoA Marketplace welcomes all who have
a
spiritual book, product or service to offer. It is designed to allow
people to find a diverse range of spiritual
products in a single place. And as such, to combine the advertising of
individuals in a way that
advertises the marketplace as a whole through each members own
websites, business cards, leaflets, advertising and self-promotion that
includes the marketplace.
Spiritual
may be our base, but the benefit of the world is our objective.
As such, the marketplace will also allow the showcasing of
complimentary
genres, especially by the families of members.
And as such, some
non-spiritual
themes will be encouraged on a case by case basis.
It is intended to encourage unpublished authors of other genres, who
create an ebook or self-published book, a place to showcase their
words. In particular the
works of the Indigos, and authors who bring love, joy, happiness,
knowledge and inspiration
to people through their words.

facilities for your clients/customers.
Membership
Unlike most marketplaces, who assume that anyone joining them will be
marketting a large number of products, the CoA marketplace recognises
that the majority of members will have
only a
few books, products or services to offer.
As such, Membership here is designed to reflect this.
Base Membership
All
members will pay a
US$50 Base Membership fee per year.
This will enable the creation of your membership login to the CoA
marketplace. It will allow you to connect a website to your Member
Profile and have
it viewed within the marketplace. It will allow you to enter up to 5
products or services.
Extended
Memberships
For those with more
products to offer,
there will be an incremental scale of membership options.
US$100pa - Up to 12 products
US$200pa - Up to 25 products
US$300pa - Unlimited products
If all you need is 1 or 2 extra products, then US$10pa each.
Special Memberships
It is recognised that some products will fall into special categories.
For example, Artwork, photo galleries, one-off products with high
numbers but slow sales expectations. In these cases, some may consider
a commission on sales to be a better
way of listing their products than by extended membership.
So special products membership can be negotiated.
Commission based Memberships will be entertained where this is more
appropriate than the normal memberships. (The Base Membership is
required to be paid up front, and then
commission paid with each sale).
Artwork is especially recognised, as a special case. An artist may have
many existing products to add to the marketplace, but each is unique
and potentially slow to sell, and the artist
continues to add
new works as they are completed. As such there should be no limits to
the number of products, but a
return to the marketplace can be made with each work sold.
Photo Galleries will be handled differently. They can offer photo
download, prints, posters and merchandising through a different
mechanism, advertised through the marketplace. They
will
be based on a negotiated commission.
Photo Galleries of Artwork are
encouraged, as
this enables each unique piece to sell many copies in the form of
prints and posters, thus bringing a continuous return to the Artist,
even after the
original artwork is sold. (Copyright issues may need resolving first.)
For further details on how this works, please email Timothy using the
email address below.

A note about email
addresses :
Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail are not good email
addresses to use in
the shopping cart system. All 3 systems Spamblock everything coming
from any form of commercial
mail sender. Please use email addresses from your access provider or
your own
virtual domain provider, which will allow you the chance to remove any
block they may have
placed.
How it works.
You pay
the base
or extended
membership.
I send you your membership id and password.
You login to the shopping cart system.
You set up a product for each item or service you wish to list.
A customer buys your product or service.
They paypal money directly to your paypal account.
You send the item or supply the service.
Once the membership fee is paid, its like you have your own personal
store.
All you do is pay the rent like any store.
Special memberships work the same way, except we will work out how and
when to pay commission.
Most members of the mall
will not pay
any commission.
Products NOT
Allowed in
Marketplace
The following products will not be allowed in the Marketplace :
No Porn or anything likely to be considered porn anywhere in the world.
If its considered illegal in Australia, United States or where you
live, its not allowed.
Nothing War or Violence oriented is allowed.
If an item has tasteful nudity, it may be allowable, ask admin for an
opinion.
A book set in a war zone may be acceptable if the theme is healing of
some sort.
Code of Conduct.
All members
are expected to adhere to a high ethical conduct standard as befits
spiritually enlightened beings.
Administration will not become involved in any dispute between a Member
and a Customer. But administration will investigate any customer
complaints. If a
member is considered to be acting in an unacceptable or unethical
way, their membership may be terminated and their products
removed
from the
marketplace.
