Listing a DVD on Adult DVD Marketplace is free... you will only pay a commission when your DVD sells. At that time we will collect your sales price from the buyer, add to that a shipping credit to help cover your shipping expenses, and deduct our commission of $.50 plus 15% of the sales price. These funds are deposited into your seller account, the entire balance of which is paid out to you monthly.
If you plan on selling a large number of DVDs each month, you can avoid the $.50 fee by joining our Merchant Subscription program.
Adult DVD Marketplace sellers ship items directly to their buyers. Sellers are required to ship within two business days of the purchase, and we request that the seller use inconspicuous packaging that doesn't reveal the nature of the package.
The shipping credit you will receive is $5.50 for the first DVD, and $1.00 for each additional DVD purchased by the same buyer. So, if a buyer purchases three DVDs in an order, you would receive a total shipping credit of $ 7.50 for that order. Shipment is required even if the shipping credit does not cover all shipping costs. Such discrepancies should be accounted for in the price you set.
If you decide to support Expedited Shipping, and the customer selects this shipping option, then you will receive an increased shipping credit of $9.75 for the first DVD in the order.
Participation in our international sales program is on a by request basis.
The shipping credit you will receive is $44.00 for the first DVD, and $0.50 for each additional DVD purchased by the same buyer.
These orders are to be shipped International Priority, packaging only the disks and artwork, no cases.
To avoid customs issues, orders to Japan will not include artwork.
To prevent an accumulation of unmaintained listings, listings that have not been sold, or had their price modified after four months will be expired. In the case of an expiration, you will receive an email containing instructions on how automatically re-list the product.
Sellers on Adult DVD Marketplace are reimbursed for their sales in one of the following ways:
Throughout the month your current sellers account balance can be used towards purchases on our site. The credit from sales is available for purchase on the next business day following a sale, and can be applied towards an order from the checkout screen.
If you've opted to receive reimbursements via PayPal (from the "Seller Profile" page of our site), then we will send your reimbursements directly to your PayPal account via PayPal Mass Payment (you will not be charged a fee by PayPal -- these funds will be transferred into your PayPal account approximately 10 business days after the first business day of the month. Please be sure that the email address you use on this site has been added to your PayPal account if you opt to receive PayPal reimbursements.
Note that it is not possible to select PayPal reimbursements until 45 days after your first sale.
If you haven't selected reimbursement via PayPal, and your monthly sales balance exceeds $20.00, then you will be mailed a reimbursement check each month. To allow time for credit card settlement and fraud screening, checks are mailed approximately 10 business days after the first business day of each month. These payment checks are in the name of our corporate entity, ADM Media, Inc., so they can be deposited in a discreet manner.
If your sales volume for the month is less than $20.00 then this balance will be automatically carried over to the following month's account.
If at the end of the month you no longer have any additional titles listed for sale on our site, then you will be reimbursed the full amount of your seller's account balance.
Note that from your "Seller Profile" page you can choose to have your reimbursement withheld. In this case, it will not be sent at month-end so that it can be accumulated for future use, such as for purchases from our site. You may turn this option off at any time.
Once you have been selling on our site for more than a month, and have accumulated an average feedback rating greater than 4.75, you can optionally begin using the credit you've accrued from sales on our site towards purchases from other sellers.
This credit will be made available the next day after a sale is transacted, and can be used up until the time the balance is reimbursed to you. Note that you can turn off reimbursements through the "Seller Profile" page so that credits are accumulated up until the time you chose to use them on purchases rather than being reimbursed according to our normal rules.
If a credit you have credit available for purchases, it will be displayed on the order checkout screen, along with an option to apply this credit towards the order.
If you have a large inventory of DVDs to sell at Adult DVD Marketplace, a Merchant Subscription will allow you to access more powerful tools for managing your listings, while also lowering your overall expenses. With a Merchant Subscription, the $.50-per-sale commission is waived on every listing you create-- you pay only the remaining 15% commission.
Merchants are, however, required to input tracking numbers for all orders.
Contact us for more information on this program.
All sellers are strongly encouraged to enter tracking numbers for each of their shipments in order to keep customers informed as to the status of those orders. Tracking information can be submitted via the Shipping Tools page.
Merchant sellers are required to input tracking numbers for their shipments. Those who do not input tracking numbers for an order will be subject to the following penalties:
Please pack and ship your DVDs in a professional manner by following these guidelines:
In order to protect your privacy, we will not provide buyers with any contact info for you except for your e-mail and Adult DVD Marketplace username.
Likewise, in order to protect the privacy of our buyers, we absolutely forbid the use of a customer's contact information for any purpose other than for fulfilling the order for which it was provided. This includes any subsequent communications or solicitations either electronic or otherwise. Failure to follow this policy is a violation of our Sellers Agreement, and will result in being permanently barred from the site.
We welcome your new and used DVD listings on our site. However, the following types of listings are prohibited:
Currently you can buy DVDs in five categories-- New, Like New, Very Good, Good, and Acceptable.
Each of these categories may have listings without a case and/or artwork, in which case the listing will show this disclaimer beside the condition. In the case of New listings, it is only acceptable to specify this condition if the disks were originally distributed by their manufacturer unpackaged.
If, following a sale, you find that you are unable to promptly ship an item to a customer, then you are obligated to promptly request that a refund be issued to the customer. A refund can be requested by viewing the one online sales history, and selecting the appropriate link on the order to refund.
Note that a high refund rate is frowned upon, and will be displayed to customers so that they can judge the accuracy of your inventory tracking.
Sellers who accumulate a refund rate over 8% of will have their inventory displayed in the "Special Order" tab until the rate is brought back down below that threshold.
We take responsibility for all sales tax obligations between ADM Media and those states in which we have a legal nexus. It is the Seller's and the Buyer's responsibility to determine whether sales or use taxes apply to the transactions conducted through our site, and to collect, report, and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority.

In an effort to help you price your DVD competitively, we will provide you with a suggested selling price if we have retail prices available.
The suggested selling price for an item is calculated as a percentage of the best on-line retail price for a new copy of the item and depends upon the quality of the item. The pricing table we use is as follows:
| Condition< | Suggested Price (percentage of best on-line retail price) |
|---|---|
| Like New | 70% |
| Very Good | 60% |
| Good | 50% |
| Acceptable | 40% |
