@Rene, are you looking at the Value shop.... or Value incl. stock?

We do not count stock. It is the first amount you see under My Shop / Items. PZHMUDE

Lastdodo is a wonderful addition to the fun of collecting, thank you!
It provides added value, without costs for a long time
It was known that a revenue model was coming and rightly so in my view.
There can be discussion about how the subscriptions are built up, that is possible and allowed, but remains up to the policymakers.
Let's just look at it, what additional opportunities are there for us as collectors, sellers a year from now.
My positive side note; I think we'll be surprised

Thank you for your nice response. Perhaps there is another possibility to offer more in your shop, because with the VIP Collector subscription you can offer 3,000 euros in shop value for 7.95 per month (incl. VAT) instead of the 1,000 euros in value that you now offer. Then it can look even better.
Rene Due to a large part of my stay abroad, I am scaling down and there is no longer time to offer more in the shop. There is also some wringing here. When I clean up my collection I first put the items in lastdodo. At an attractive price for the collector. For example, the lament complete now. But with the new format, that becomes doubtful. Sales are just a matter of waiting and then the auction will come sooner.

I have a shop with a value of about 20,000, sales in the last 13 months about 4,500, subscription is about 750 euros, so a small 20%. A lot higher than the 10% you mention in an earlier answer. And I guess I'm pretty representative.

stripwereld Because you are not far above the limit of 15,000 euros for a TOP subscription, you are not very representative. If you were to reduce the value of your shop by removing the less common things (or by lowering your prices a bit), you would therefore pay 360 euros per year (ex) and that could be much better at 4,500 euro turnover. And I expect you'll be selling even more than now because we'll also be putting money into promotion now that we're getting revenue.

Will the 75 euro limit also expire? That would be very nice.

I agree with many comments. From nothing to at least 7.95 monthly or even 29.95 is too much all of a sudden. Many sellers are primarily collectors who also contribute to the catalog from there. With these amounts, the platform becomes less meaningful for many. I'm willing to contribute financially, because I think LDD is a nice database, but this is too big.

Before I decide whether to get on board with this, I would like to know if VAT is 'shifted' for traders based in Belgium, as required by law for cross-border services.

my consideration is 2 empty :
1. I am reducing my offer to 3,000 euros, so that I do not have to pay a heavy monthly cost of 36.94 euros, which is not profitable at all for me, and I only place cheap pieces that are interesting for collectors and see what the price is after a year cost benefit analysis will be
2. I close my shop and start offering comics through other channels, including to comics fairs, where I do indeed pay a stand fee, but I do get the fun of the fairs and the pleasant conversations that we have with the fellow exhibitors. The advantage of this is that you pay a fee per scholarship and not per year, so if you skip a few scholarships, you also pay nothing

I fear that the 2nd option will become my preference and I think it is completely wrong to pay on value store, without taking sales into account. I think it's logical to pay a percentage on sales, but not on store value

How do you mean this exactly? If you are a business user in Belgium, we are allowed to charge zero percent VAT (and we do). StripwinkelSammy

What a letdown! Go for the big money, but without me. Your subscription can never end for my small shop. My shop is closed from today. Forever!

But here on the forum it can also be fun, retep and there are also pleasant conversations. Although maybe not so much in this topic :-)

LD changed from free platform to about the most expensive platform at once.
Unfortunately, here too people have come to the helm who only have one goal in mind and that is to earn as much money as possible.
I urge everyone not to participate in this.

That's not too bad $$$$$$$
They are still the same people as it started with and we are mainly trying to cover the costs of the site.
What I don't understand in your case: you have a small shop that just stays free and you can just keep managing your collection for free. Whence your anger?

Sorry, there are quite a lot of questions and comments.
I think you just wanted to know where you stand.
Because you have a shop with a value above 30,000 euros, you will receive a personal message from us tomorrow.

Rene That as a collector you can only set your collection to private if you pay, can that be rethought?

This whole circus is, of course, intended to drive away the small sellers and leave the large, profitable shops. Just like Delcampe did a few years ago. Selling expensive subscriptions. Then calculate a reasonable percentage of 10% or so per sale. This Is wiping out small shops.

Rene I have already added 1322 items to the catalog, and added 8905 improvements and/or photos. Does that make a difference in my subscription, or would all this effort have been for nothing?
How is something decided about this?

Rene

For me there is no subscription anyway because my asking prices (value shop more than 6000 items) are more than 30,000 euros. If I look at my sales over 12 months, it would already have lost a commission of 20% if I sold the same, which is highly questionable. But I also have to move items very quickly to my collection to stay within the 30,000 value, which should not be publicly visible. Perhaps understandable in the context of the concept, because imagine that collectors approach you to ask to sell from your collection. Anyway for me it's not fun anymore. I naturally wish you every success, because it is certain that everything turned out very nicely.

Question: do I get time to move my items over 6000 to my collection?

Which from the very beginning that I started on Catawiki my point was/is where lasting 4,5,6 etc scan
With my favorite catalog item LPs etc that was a hammer point from 2009
So I was very happy when, six months ago, the opportunity arose to add more scans to my own collection
And the promise will also be in catalog in due course
But 12 x 7.95 or € 100 to be allowed to do that is not going to be him
Also brought the shop below 300
I once sold 2 lp I think in 2009 just because someone saw that I had those albums (didn't have a shop)
And a few books
But in 13 years don't think for 100€
I think a symbolic amount per year
€1 per month and €10 in advance
For collectors, simply a bridgeable offer must remain accessible (and a kind of trial period 300 items? Free)
And I'm not starting that I've definitely added over 100 items and maybe also made over 100 improvements/additions
It is and remains a hobby and has always been happy with Catawiki/lastdodo
And I feel like it and time to keep doing it for sure
But where are those 4 etc scans others ask for improvement
Marco & Rene and the saves of the team
Thanks for the past 14 years of collecting fun (and annoyance)

what is the reason why there is such a difference between a vip collector of 3,000 euros and a top seller of 15,000 euros, isn't it a big space between 3,000 and 15,000?
