Aside from elective multiple Image Upload or Enhanced Feature fees related to auction prominence, basic auction listings on edifyathome.com are COMPLETELY FREE.

In addition, our 100% Relisting Fees Reduction insures that any of these elective fees are only paid once per item/auction regardless of how many times the auction is relisted prior to a successful sale.

Furthermore, for the convenience of sellers these fees are not billed with the closing of each auction, but rather sellers are invoiced once monthly for the total charges on their account or once their account balance reaches $20.00. Account balances of $1.99 or less are rolled over into the next monthly billing cycle.

Optional Verification Fee (Verified Seller Status): $5 per year

Store Subscriptions

Think of edifyathome.com as an online marketplace and an edifyStore as your very own prominent storefront in that marketplace!

In addition to providing the features detailed below, opening an edifyStore offers many inherent benefits for anyone seeking to reach the homeschool community: the homeschool family simply wanting to sell a number of items they no longer need, the work at home mom or aspiring entrepreneur desiring to develop a second income, or even the well established small business owner looking to cultivate a low cost online business presence.

As many have learned the hard way, simply putting a website on the internet (no matter how well designed) is not enough. Over and above the considerable upfront costs associated with site design and hosting setup, there is the often more significant investment in time and money that must be spent on marketing the website to generate traffic and ultimately sales.

This is where an edifyStore offers a valuable low cost advantage. The secret ingredients are community and shared interest. By opening an edifyStore, your sales or business venture can benefit not only from the marketing investments made by edifyathome.com and the general auction site traffic that we generate, but also the marketing investments made by an entire community of edifyStore owners and the “foot traffic” they generate.

In the case of edifyathome.com, these benefits are even further enhanced by our consistent and specialized dedication to the homeschool family. In other words, unlike traffic generated by other auction or commerce websites, traffic to your edifyStore is composed of pre-qualified visitors looking for homeschool specific supplies and other items of shared interest and value to homeschool families.

Once you open an edifyStore with us, during the standard auction listing process you will have the option to post auctions in your edifyStore, the edifyathome.com general auction site, or both.

Auction listings posted only in your edifyStore are not subject to Enhanced Feature Fees.

Auction listings posted on the edifyathome.com general auction site, or in both your edifyStore and the general auction site are subject to Enhanced Feature Fees.

Here is a table that breaks down the Store subscription types and their costs:

The freeStore subscription is included with your basic edifyAuction account and is limited to ten auction listings within your freeStore page.

The edifyStore subscription includes the following additional benefits:

Activation – Activation includes the creation of a custom 5 color edifyStore template.

Featured Store – Your edifyStore name and logo is given prominence by being included in the Featured Stores list at the top of the Stores page.

Preferred Seller – Your account will be upgraded to Preferred Seller status which means you will receive a 50% discount on all Enhanced Feature Fees should you select any when listing your auctions on the general edifyathome.com auction site.
