The payment rate can be depending on each partnership. However in the development of the marketplace business, we can re-structure the payment scheme to better facilitate the seller, the buyer and the product’s quality.

8. Are files reviewed or will you accept anything?

Each file goes through a rigorous reviewing process to make sure the quality is top notch. That is why so many buyers choose our marketplaces over those that accept lower quality files.

Yes you are mostly welcomed! Our supervisor will consult you more detail on this.

10. Is exclusivity based on the Seller or the individual file?

Meaning, could I sell one file here and sell a completely different one on my own site? Exclusivity is on a per file basis so yes, as long as the files are completely different, you could sell one here and one on your site.

11. Who is responsible for copyright violations in files I’ve submitted?

As the Seller, it is your responsibility to make sure you’re not violating anyone’s copyright by uploading your file. If you’re unsure if you’re allowed to use an asset within your file, ask the owner or a lawyer. However in most case, our account supervisor with give as much as help to your case! We will not give you alone.

12. Who determines the price of my file?

All files are priced by LandOfCoder.com and its staff, to ensure prices consistently reflect factors such as quality, complexity, potential demand and license type. However in most case, Seller give a suggest price for their own works and we will consider to approve that price.

13. Am I required to support the files I upload?

Providing support is a great way to ensure repeat business from buyers. In LandOfCoder Marketplace, we provide the Central Support System, in which the Buyer will open the ticket support to the product very easily and Seller can provide the Private ticket support inside LandOfCoder system. Therefore, Buyers do not have to go to seller website, create a new accounts and have to provide each detail of their purchase to get support. If buyer bought 10 products from 10 seller, he will get headaches to follow all this stuff process to receive support. Now in LandOfCoder, buyers is the kings and all seller give support consistently. This is also a way we can give overall rating for seller support services as this is the key factors when working on Open Sources Market.

14. Are there file types that you already have plenty of that you no longer accept?

If a category is oversaturated, that just means the quality standards go up. You’ll have to give it a unique spin or make it much nicer looking for it to be approved.

15. What happen if buyer requests a refund?

Buyer can request a refund case and LandOfCoder staff will work with seller and buyer to determine what should finally work out. One of most happened cases is to refund to buyer and the sales volumes from Seller will be deducted the same amount to buyer’s credit. We will keep around $50 deposit on seller earning amount each months, for refunds cases happened after sales. The refund for buyer will be back to buyer account in form of deposit points, not in cash. We refuse refund cash back in any case of seller dispute.

The amounts of the order will be deducted from seller accounts.
