Who is the Management Team of Pages ‘N Pages?

Steven Palter (MBA), President (Pages ‘N Pages Inc.)

Founded in June 1999, Pages ‘N Pages (www.pagesnpages.ca) initially specialized in the selling of modern first editions on the larger online book marketplaces - www.abebooks.com, www.alibris.com and http://www.biblio.com/. Steven Palter, the owner, quickly gained a reputation as a trusted and informed source for high-quality, well-described books, especially Man Booker Prize Winners. Drawing on his years of experience as a seller, Steven designed a new online marketplace dedicated to assist Sellers to regain profitability in online selling - for books, comic books, CDs and DVDs and other collectible items.

Dr. J. Alan Long (Ph.D) and Dave Conrad, Vice-Presidents (Jatech/JSI Web Corp.)

Established in 1997, Jatech (www.jatech.ca) has grown to be a recognized leader in Web Design and Internet Marketing. Jatech uses a multi-pronged approach to generate thousands of visitors to a website, and has developed an expertise in:

Search Engine Submission, Placement and Optimization
E-Commerce Web Design
Graphic Designs

What if my inventory file is not in Homebase format? Can I still upload my file to Pages ‘N Pages?

We accept any file format including the following:

•· FillZ

•· Homebase

•· Excel

•· CSV

•· UIEE

•· Booktrakker

•· FillZ

•· Amazon

•· Alibris

•· Biblio

Does my monthly fee increase as I upload more inventory into my Seller Account?

No. We have different Seller Account types based on your business volumes or needs, and the monthly fees do not increase as you upload more inventory to your Account.

How is payment collected from a customer who places an order through my business?

Pages ‘N Pages has designed the website so that each Seller collects payment from the customer for any orders received. Many Sellers have their own merchant accounts to process credit card payments and they have a very low commission rate from their merchant service provider.

We understand that some Sellers do not accept credit card payments directly. We are working on implementing credit card payment processing on behalf of Sellers for orders. Because of the new guidelines for processing credit card transactions, Pages ‘N Pages has decided not to implement this functionality yet to ensure compliance with current and new credit card processing guidelines and regulations.

We encourage Sellers without their own credit card processing capabilities to either use PayPal in the interim, or consider applying for their own credit card processing account with their financial institution.

What are the optional Marketing and Promotional Functionalities on the Pages ‘N Pages website?

HOMEPAGE FEATURES- 7 DAY or 30 DAY Timeframes:

Store Advertisement:

Draw attention to your store by creating a store advertisement which is displayed at the top of www.pagesnpages.ca homepage to catch the attention of visitors and provide a direct link to your online store. Your store advertisement may display your store logo, your featured sales or your contact information. You can create your own store advertisement or have Pages ‘N Pages Inc. design one for you.

Rare Item:

Do you have one or two items that are particularly special or unique? Then why not promote these items to as many visitors as possible and have these items displayed in the "Rare Finds" section of the Homepage.

Recommended Item:

Display those items that you want to recommend to shoppers in the Recommended items section of the Homepage.

OTHER PRODUCT LISTING ENHANCEMENTS - 7 DAY or 30 DAY Timeframes:

Bold Font:

Choose those products that you want to stand-out in search results, and apply the Bolded Font to those items. Bold Font has been shown to increase the chances of your products being seen and viewed by shoppers.

Borders:

As with Bold Font, adding a Border to your product listings allows your item to be more distinct and stand out among the other listings.

Shaded Background:

Similar to Bold Font and Borders, you can select to add a different colored background to those products you wish to stand out within Search Results.

HINT: TRY OUT THESE OPTIONAL MARKETING FEATURES BECAUSE THERE IS NO CHARGE TO USE THEM WITH THE PLATINUM AND GOLD ACCOUNTS FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS.†

† The "Create A Store Advertisement" fee for designing and developing the Store Advertisement still applies but displaying the Store Advertisement on the Homepage during the first three months is no charge.
