Veiled Market has three membership plans, each ideal for some traders, this guide will help choose the best for you
Any of the Veiled Market membership plans are more affordable than running an independent web site, which has a minimum cost of £15 a month for basic costs, and often far more. Unless there is a real need for your own web site you should consider the option of saving a lot of money and opening a shop on Veiled Market instead.
All the membership plans benefit from the advertising and traffic generation the market provides for additional charge, to do this independently would be a significant cost.
All Veiled Market plans have zero listing, and relisting fees, so it costs nothing to add a new product, and you do not need to relist after you have sold a product.
Gold Membership is an annual subscription plan where you pay no commission on sales, you pay £45 a year which equates to only £3.75 a month. The plan gives you unlimited products and all market facilities.
Silver Membership is a monthly subscription plan where you pay no commission on sales, you pay £5 a month. The plan gives you unlimited products and all market facilities.
Bronze Membership is a subscription free plan where you pay 7.5% commission on all sales. The plan allows up to 20 products and gives you the essential market facilities.
Gold Annual Membership Plan
If you are confident you will be trading for at least a year then this plan gives you substantial savings over the Silver plan.
If you sell high value items then this can be cheaper than the Bronze plan where you pay 7.5% commission on each sale.
If you plan to sell larger volumes of low value items then this can be cheaper than the Bronze plan where you pay 7.5% commission on each sale.
If you have more than 20 products with many images for each then Bronze is not a viable option, so it is a straight choice between this or Silver

Established traders who are confident they will be trading long term
Traders who want the lowest monthly fixed cost plan
Traders with more than 20 products
Traders who sell high value items .
Silver Monthly Membership Plan

If you plan to sell larger volumes of low value items then this may be cheaper than the Bronze plan where you pay 7.5% commission on each sale.
If you have more than 20 products with many images for each then Bronze is not a viable option, so it is a straight choice between this or Gold
