You can change the contents of your shop as many times as you like.

That's correct

I have read here the complaints that in fact the users have made Lastdodo great through their selfless efforts.
René replied that users who are very active and who have entered a lot in the catalog can be nominated by the administrators for a free VIP subscription.
But I haven't read anywhere what the criteria are for that (or did I miss that?). Can each administrator draw up his own plan? I think that promotes arbitrariness and favoritism.
And what about users who have contributed to multiple collection areas? Do they fall between two stools?
Regardless of the type of contributions. For example, it is more work to enter a compilation CD with 20 different artists, song titles, duration, composers, etc. than a comic book.
So my question is, are there set criteria for that or can they be given so that everyone can see when they qualify for a free subscription.

That will raise new questions. For example, if you're just under the limit, will you be eligible sometime next year if you've reached that limit?

I wouldn't call it that. That's pretty negative.

This is the start, the first time, and the (active) administrators were asked to nominate collectors. With a very short deadline (1 or 2 days?).
In addition, an in-depth investigation has been carried out from above. The result of both led to a number of rewards.
Users (collectors) may have been forgotten, and they are being fished out little by little. If you feel you have been shortchanged, it is best to ask the administrator of the relevant section. Each administrator of a section will have taken into account section-specific parameters and criteria.

If I write something that is not correct Collectioneur will surely correct me.

As mentioned earlier somewhere, it is not easy if a user (collector) has not made contributions specifically in one section.
Then contact the section manager that is most important to you and mention this. Administrators are people too, and people speak people.

Anyone who adds monuments like 'Wishbone Ash' can certainly be nominated, but I have no insight whatsoever into the music section. The manager there.
Out of curiosity I occasionally added a music CD. and with that I know that adding a music CD has more feet in the earth than adding an item in the stamp section or in the book section. There is really a lot more work on that (if you want to do it properly and completely).

With time, guidelines and criteria will certainly be drawn up. But certainly not straight forward. Adding 1,000 CDs or LPs to the music section in a correct and complete manner is a greater effort than 1,000 Seals or books. Although sometimes there is a lot of hidden work behind it (research work). Sometimes.

In short:
- a number of valued users and employees have indeed received a VIP subscription as a reward. For this, the data on LD was subjected to a thorough study, supplemented with nominations from each section;
- more can be added if it turns out that someone has been overlooked (e.g. efforts spread over several categories);
- with the experience we are now gaining, this process will also be systematically cast in a more formal form, with part of the category-related interpretation. As a guideline for the administrators who may nominate collectors;
- such a subscription is not acquired forever and will be evaluated in time.

Nor should it be overstated. 3.95 euros per month corresponds to less than 2 cents per hour for many employees/administrators.
And they don't always have a shop yet. Or a (test/mini) shop below the limit for a paying subscription.

Bohemian60 Whether it's arbitrariness and favoritism, I wouldn't know so soon, but I think your question is justified. There are criteria for all other subscriptions, so why not for the VIP as well.

There are criteria for all other subscriptions, so why not for the VIP as well.

The criteria are also crystal clear for the VIP subscription: maximum shop value = € 3,000 for only € 3.95/month (when paying annually).

We reserve the right to offer users/administrators, who in our view have contributed very actively to LastDodo, a free annual subscription. In the coming year we will evaluate this and possibly improve it, based on data across all categories. In addition, the experiences of administrators with importers have been taken into account. Because changing / entering an item with many sub-items is much more labour-intensive than just adding a dash to an empty ISBN, for example.

That's right Raoul62 my answer is quite negative.
I had raised a subject which I believe is of interest to several collectors and Moritz thought he should dismiss it with "There are no criteria" without going further into my question. I waited a while for another more extensive response and when nothing came I posted my cynical reply.
And that helped :-).
So thank you Raoul for taking the time and effort to answer my question in such detail. It's gotten a lot clearer.
It's not like I'm fishing for a free subscription and I'm certainly not going to beg for one either.
I have always enjoyed making contributions because I improved "our" database.

Bohemian60 , It is difficult to formulate measurable criteria about numbers because it also concerns the quality of the input (and whether administrators still have a lot of work to do) and because complete input in some categories, e.g. incl tracks in music indeed, can be much more work than input in other categories. Administrators have the best view on this.

Dear Rene, I have been a member since 2014. My shop has a value of 7000€. Although I sell less than 500 a year on average,... . I have already added 400 items and 700+ prices to the catalog. With a subscription I would now have to pay 360 € per year on the 500 I earn,... . I cannot finance this myself. If there is no change in the subscriptions, Lastdodo is a lost cause. It's a pity it had to turn out this way. If your team is genuinely not out for extortionate profits, I recommend a "fees" system. with this you can safely continue to pay the domain costs (see discogs, delcampe) and your sellers remain satisfied. Regards

 Maybe it would be time to change the text of "Frequently Asked Questions", in the section "Is LastDodo free?"

I have a can of DE stamps here, can they be exchanged for a VIP Abbo? Shops (and Collectors keep their Collections for Free) could offer up to an amount of 75€ for Free for Years (and Collectors keep their Collections for Free) never seen a Forum message it works Financially how much of your own money have you put into it ? now finally an amount has to be paid from 3000 it's crying big at every site you have to pay even at Markplaats if you want to stand out you can sell here it shouldn't be heard happy holidays Baron

That's right Marsupi
Until then you can still export.
We are also working on the app you requested earlier.
It will simply be available to everyone for free.

Strip-taese inserted 400 items.
Well, I have a shop of almost 400 items on another site, so I've definitely added more than 400 already. I wouldn't ask for a VIP subscription for that. 400 items since 2014 = 400/8 years, maybe 9 years, so that's an average of about 50 items per year, or... one per week.

Hi, recently asked the board about upgrading to the power seller status. So far no response has been received. So here's a question to the community. Does anyone have more information about the power seller status? Thx.

de-vrolijke-bengels ,

We offered everyone with a shop with a shop value greater than 30,000 euros a Power subscription based on their specific situation (shop value, contribution to the catalogue, etc.) and most of them also took it up.
Would you like to send us a message via the contact form?
