General FAQs, Member FAQs

In your "Pro Search" search results, show ratings can be found in the upper right corner of the summary box for each event and on the full show details page as well.

Any event or promoter that has been rated, will have yellow stars that you can click to view the ratings. Because our database is so large, many events & promoters have not been rated yet. Only Pro members have access to view detailed ratings.

Show Ratings Tip:
A good way to check on a promoter that you're not familiar with is to use the "More by this Promoter" link that's to the right of the promoter name -- clicking on this will bring up all the events listed by that promoter, so that even if a particular event is unrated, you can quickly scan to see how the promoter's other events rate.

Seller questions - Also, view our Seller Tips page.

Flat Rate shipping is most commonly used if all your items are similar in size and weight. If enabled it will apply to all your items. In most instances you should not enable USPS or UPS if Flat Rate is enabled. If you do, you will be required to add dimensions/weight for each item and buyers will be given the option to choose those shippers or Flat Rate when they reach checkout.

You can enable Free shipping on a per item basis and it can be extended to US only, US and CAN only or US, CAN and International. If you want to apply flat rate to individual items (rather than all items), turn Flat Rate off in shop settings and use the Free Shipping option per item, adding the shipping amount to the item price.

If you have items that exceed the limits of USPS or USP (see limits above in How does shipping work for sellers), you can use the Flat Rate option, (the flat rate amounts you set will apply to all your items) or turn off Flat Rate and enable USPS and/or UPS. Then when you enter your weight and dimensions, the item listing form will automatically show a special "Add Shipping Cost" box to enter extra shipping on individual items.
