How much does it cost to join PTTS?
Nothing - we have decided to make this site completely, absolutely and utterly free, irrespective if you are a retailer or a customer. In coming months We will look to have advertising on the site, but our vision is to keep the site free for its users. If you know of any local independent retailers who would benefit from joining please spread the word!
What is the cost of selling goods online?
Nothing - quite simply nothing. it does not get better than that. Welcome to social e-tailing
If I am a seller do I have to pay a commission on products sold through the site?
No.
Am I charged VAT on delivery costs?
If the delivery address of the order is within the E.U. you will pay VAT on postage, provided the retailer that you are buying from is VAT registered. The amount of VAT that you are charged on your total delivery cost depends on the VAT liability of the products being ordered. For example if your order contains three books (at 0% VAT) and one alarm clock (at 15% VAT) you will only pay 25% of the standard VAT rate on your delivery cost. This is because only 25% of the total contents of your order is subject to VAT (the alarm clock).
