What is a listing?
A listing is a single item offered for sale or trade. Or a listing can be 2 or more items sold or traded as a group for one price.
Example #1: 6 Widgits. Price $12.00 not sold separately.
Example #2: Four piece livingroom suite. Price $500.00 not sold separately. If a member decides at a later date to breakup a group and sell or trade as separate items then each item must be re-listed separately and will be counted as one listing each.
1000s of Listings
Though listings are virtually unlimited during the course of a membership there is however a listing ceiling per membership at any given time.
Example #1: A $25.00 membership has a 25 listings ceiling at any given time. If a member sells, trades, or drops 15 listings then that member can add 15 new listings. If a member sells, trades or drops 25 listings then that member can add 25 new listings and so on all within one year's membership at $25.00 total cost and continues on when the membership is renewed.
Example #2: If a member sells, trades or drops 25 listings per day and replaces them with 25 new listings for the duration of a year's membership that's more than 9,000 listings within a $25 dollar membership and that's less than 28 cents per 100 listings.
Duration of Listing
The duration of a listing is not 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 10 days, 30 days, or even one year, it is until the item(s) are sold or traded or membership expires. This is above all the most important aspect of becoming a BSTC member. Where else can you list items for sell or trade indefinitely at such a minimal cost?
Increased Ceiling Membership
If a 25 listing ceiling is not sufficient for some individuals or businesses you may elect to increase the listing ceiling. When signing up for a listing membership you can choose the listing ceiling that will best serve your needs.
Example #1: You can choose a membership with a 50 listing ceiling for a membership fee of $50.00 per year. The fee for a membership with a 100 listing ceiling would be $100.00 per year and so on (see membership form).
Example #2: If a membership with a 250 listings ceiling is choosen at a fee of $250.00 per year and a member sells, trades or drops 250 listings per day and replaces them with 250 new listings for the duration of a year's membership that's more than 91,000 listings for $250.00. That's less than 28 cents per 100 listings. This example may seem exaggerated but is possible and shows how unique, inexpensive and beneficial a BSTC membership can be. You will choose the listing ceiling that best fits your needs when filling out a membership form.
If a member decides to increase their listing ceiling during the course of a yearly membership the fee for the listing ceiling chosen will apply but will only be for the remainder of the current year's membership. When a membership is renewed the new chosen listing ceiling fee will apply.
Listing Price (Additional Fee)
There is a price ceiling of $10,000.00 per listing. Listings priced over $10,000.00 have an additional fee of $5.00 per listing. This is to compensate for high dollar items such as real estate, new and late model vehicles, heavy equipment, etc. For example $5.00 for a $300,000.00 real estate listing for as long as it takes to sell it (as long as membership is active) is unheard of in today's advertising market.
Updating and Deleting Listings
You can update a listing anytime 24 hours a day as long as membership is active. Updates consist of changes to price, discription, condition, photos or deleting a listing that has been sold or traded. Changes to listings that will not be allowed are: Name, title, year, model, color, serial number, address(Real Estate) as any of these would constitute a new and different listing. "Important Note" To keep listings active you must refresh all of your listings every 30 days. Just login to your Seller Account and click on "My Listings". Check the refresh box next to each listing. If a listing has been sold or traded check the delete box next to each listing. When all appropriate boxes have been checked click on the large "Refresh" box at the bottom of the page.
Membership Renewal
Membership must be renewed before the expiration date. If a membership is not renewed or renewed after the expiration date and there are listings still active on that account those listings will be deleted from the BSTC web site at the end of the current membership. No refunds will be made. If a membership is renewed after the expiration date and listings have been deleted then those listings will have to be re-listed at current fees where applicable. We highly recommend that membership be renewed one month prior to the end of the current membership so there will be no interruptions in service when the current membership expires.
Refund and Cancellation Policy
There are no refunds for cancellation of membership. There are no refunds for additional listing fees (where applicable). Membership will be canceled if member chooses to close membership, if membership expires or BSTC "Terms Of Membership" are not adhered to.
