1. Are 'duty-conscious' users also taken into account when determining the rate?

I already wrote in the post:
Active administrators receive this premium subscription for free as a thank you for their work. Users who make an exceptionally large contribution to the catalog also receive such a subscription on the recommendation of the catalog manager and the catalog administrators.

This is therefore intended for people who really contribute an exceptional amount.

In addition to administrators, I know that a number of users contribute to a better catalog on an almost daily basis.

We know this and we are well aware of this, so that will also be looked at.

Another thought for everyone:
You can also offset costs through advertising. I know a site where you are attacked on all sides (left, right, top, bottom, middle, ...) by advertising banners. Whatever you do, your screen shifts every once in a while due to those advertising banners that provide the revenue.
It makes me dizzy and cranky. Everything, but not that.

M curious. Understandable step. I think that already active people can easily go along with reasonable pricing. New collectors will not be deterred because keeping a collection is a good entry point. Whether new traders will still come from Marktplaats ... hard to say.

If you have a shop for which you have to pay: then I would at least want to earn something from it. Otherwise I might as well put it on Marktplaats. It has been said here before: that €75 max gets in the way in a number of cases. The fact that there are agreements with Catawiki means that they have to be looked at again. If only because of inflation, the limit should not be 'hard'.

I do have reservations about that though. It remains to be seen what you call a large shop. I have mostly very cheap (mostly less than € 0.05), but a lot of items (10000+ canceled stamps) in my shop. Sold for a 'staggering' €45 in the last year. Most transactions cost more in shipping than the items themselves. So you clearly notice that this is only worth my time if I don't have to pay extra for it. I'm curious what it will be.

An additional advantage of a payment system is that 'dormant shops' will soon be put on hold, but I'm not immediately enthusiastic. I've invested a huge amount of time taking and posting photos of ALL my items, browsing through items to see if they were complete (Spirou bundles!) and uploading items. In fact, I will soon be 'forced' to take out a subscription because otherwise all the time invested would have been worthless. While I only sell a few items per month.

sucazel ,

For the latter you can also look at it the other way around:
For 10 years (since March 2013) the shops have been completely free, so all investments have yielded maximum returns (without any costs) so far.

And of course we already let everyone know 2 and a half years ago that we would be looking for a sustainable revenue model because otherwise the platform cannot continue to exist in the long term. The fact that the larger shops, which also earn the most from the platform, should contribute the most is fair and obvious, I think.

By the way, great that you put so many of your own images in your shop!

Money can be made with things that make money, not with stamps or cigar bands of € 0.05, but with a Rolex Daytona of € 50,000
With the things that make real money, LastDodo should come more to the fore, such as watches, gold coins, classic cars, art, and the fads of the moment, these are also all collectibles but with a different audience.
Marktplaats is currently drowning with items of € 0.05 and € 0.10 that generate 5 to 6 e-mails and generate a lot of internet traffic and take up space in many data centers and the collector who is looking for something nice has to get rid of all the 'junk' again and again browse endlessly.
It is very good that there is room for everyone and also for penny traders and I respect every collector, no matter how small the fair is, but you can't survive on it, the 'junk bin' of the fair is now unfortunately also become a digital junk bin.
In the more expensive segment it is quite normal to pay a commission, around 10% is normal, if the site is attractive enough, the traders will come naturally.

The maximum of € 75 dates back to prehistoric times, what was € 75 in 2012 now costs € 150 - € 200
There should be no maximum amount for a shop item at all.

Catawiki has currently hijacked the market very much, every time there is something nice on Marktplaats you will be linked to their auction.

In any case, a subscription is better than an amount per sale, because the latter system requires more costs than the former. With an annual subscription you can pay once a year, and you're done. With a percentage per piece sold, that becomes a hassle for everyone: for the organization of LastDodo, for the sellers themselves, who will eventually have to take this into account when setting their prices.
Do I take such a subscription? I don't think so, but I fall for the small shops, I suspect, and I don't intend to do it professionally.
But hey, we'll see. Maybe a subscription will provide some interesting extra features, so I want it anyway. You never know. I'm crazy enough about some things. to collect, so maybe I'll take a subscription like that too :)

Closing shops that have not yet made a choice for payment as of December 1 seems very short notice to me.

Unless we wait another 2 years, then it might be "too late."

If I remember correctly, such a system already existed in the time when it was still catawiki. shops that had less than 200 € sales value were free above that they did not have to pay.

Dear administration, I want to keep my shop.
Please send me an invoice for the subscription in due course
Every hobby needs money.
Other forms of occupational therapy are often a lot more expensive.
And for frugal whiners: the sun rises for nothing.

My hobby cigar bands
I have also spent a lot of time in my shop (30,000), if a strap is not listed, I will supplement it with a photo, most straps go for € 0.05 on an annual basis, a sale of a few tens. I don't need my collection on LDD. Willing to pay something along, but must be in proportion to what is offered greetings Kees
