Agreement before acceptance
Eligibility, ownership, condition, item descriptions, photographs, listing authority, pricing, and handling must be agreed before accepting merchandise. Do not drop off or ship goods for consignment yet.
Fees agreed individually
The intended agreement supports percentage commission only, fixed service fee only, or a percentage plus a fixed fee when explicitly agreed. High-value merchandise may have individually negotiated terms. No rates are published or active. Unapproved fees will not be automatically deducted.
Separate ownership and clear records
Customer-owned merchandise will be tracked separately from ARKOSOM-owned stock. A single item record will coordinate online and future in-store sales to prevent double-counting. Estimated proceeds, marketplace expenses, agreed service fees, and final payouts will be shown separately.
What the procedures must cover
Final procedures must address refunds, canceled transactions, unsold merchandise, returns, payout adjustments, custody, seller statements, and customer communication. Data-Line may support optional provenance records; DISTRIBIZ must remain independently operational.
