I wanted to correct something.
It was suggested that you could run a shop for free for 10 years.
This is partly correct. CW has closed shops that were empty and new collectors could no longer get them. There was a price ceiling
The shops could not be found in recent years somewhere at the bottom was a vague link to the collective forum and through this you could find shops
I dare say I had no interest in CW promoting this one.
Often I've seen comic books being auctioned for ridiculous while it was also in shops at reasonable prices.

Comic shops with a fan base had turnover because they promoted this themselves from CW, only the auction site was promoted.

Yes, also a shop where my duplicates are stored.
If I receive or find items that were not in CW lastdodo, I enter them.
Because I couldn't travel abroad until now couldn't find anything.

I'm willing to make a donation because I understand that platforms cost money and with the energy crises last dodo's server park has to incur extra costs.
But I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the takeover of CW on the backs of collectors.

Of course I can also run a shop, but for that I need items and I don't think that collectors will thank me if I buy exhibition editions, autograph editions especially to supply my shop.

A donation button to make donations

My shopping wish list.
No limits on items.
Unofficial release comic books can also sell.

Dear Onno0 ,

It is true that the collectors' platform on Catawiki gradually became less findable as the auctions became increasingly important.

What is incorrect is this:
CW has closed shops that were empty and new collectors could no longer get them.

It has always been possible to open a shop and for the past 10 years selling has been completely free.

because I understand that platforms cost money and with the energy crises last dodo's server park has to incur extra costs.

Our hosting costs are indeed very high. Thank you for understanding.

Not if you lived abroad

Rene, on November 22, you wrote that owners of shops with a value of more than 30,000 euros will receive a personal offer "tomorrow". January 1st is approaching and I still don't know what it would cost me to keep my shop open at this size. Am I not interesting enough for you?

Filocarta ,
That's crazy because everyone should have had an offer a while ago. I'm going to find out why you didn't.

Filocarta ,
Could it be that your shop has been closed for a long time? I don't see any feedback from early Dec last year to early Nov this year either. That's why I think we missed it.

Hello, now after a few months I am approaching the limit of 3000 euros of my subscription. I started selling on the internet in general in December 2021 because of the corona crisis. Sold well last year with the top 7000 euros in my shop. Now sales are minimal. Maybe also because I've already sold all the good items. But I would like to post more. Only with those 7000 euros from last year I have my hands full. Conclusion: I want a subscription between 3 and 15000. Or stretch the 3000 to 5000. The jump (also in costs) is much too big for me.

Rene how are you doing after half a year of subscriptions. Is it going according to your expectations? What strikes me as a collector/seller.. there seem to be a lot more customers from abroad than before. I also notice that sales are actually quite reasonable.
How are the improvements to the website and App coming along that you mentioned when announcing the subscriptions? And the extra advertising for the website?
Actually I'm just curious... I hope the subscriptions have a positive contribution to the website and App.

duckstad that jump is indeed big, but I think LD wanted to separate the collector sellers from the more advanced sellers who may also do this professionally.
when I read back in the messages I see that Rene is still going to evaluate it, maybe we will know more soon :)

PZHMUDE , Thank you for your interest. Contrary to what some predicted in advance, much more is being sold on the platform than last year in the same period. This is partly because we advertise a lot (especially via Google ads / Google shopping, indeed also abroad) and partly because we see that many sellers are more serious about their shop now that they have to pay something for it. As a result, they generally have a higher yield than last year.

How are things going with the improvements to the website and App that you had when announcing the subscriptions

In addition to continuous small things that we improve and problems that we solve, we are mainly working on the new app. That's a lot of work. We hope to launch the app in the near future. In addition, we also spend a lot of time improving organic findability in Google. We see that improving as a result.

Rene Thanks for your reply. I'm glad it all seems to be going well.
I myself was a bit skeptical at first, but now I can see that it has certainly improved in various areas. And as you indicate, many people are more serious about their shop, I think only nice for buyers.

Rene (or anyone else who knows) Switching to a higher subscription during a current period. Are there two annual payments (each on the start day of the respective subscription)?
1. The old subscription
2. The additional amount for the new subscription.
Is that possible and is that a correct assumption or does it happen in a different way?

jogo From an old message from Rene this explanation (if it is not correct Rene will correct it):
And if you upgrade, any subscription fees already paid for your current subscription will be offset against the costs of the new subscription. So you never pay twice.
If I understand correctly, you now pay for the new subscription for a year (with a discount) and the outstanding months of your current subscription will be settled/deducted once.
