    famekrafts, ah yes good idea. Will do this after the release so not to confuse people.

    Michaelb, not sure yet. When it's released we'll figure it all out.

    Already there <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile"> Blue button at the bottom of the item page that says "View all sellers items", example:

    I think ArcadeEd is right, there's a bit of uncertainty at the moment. Sellers can of course change their prices, so if they have an item sitting there for a few weeks not selling they are welcome to consider dropping the price.

    No free content is permitted in the store at the moment, we want to control the content carefuly before allowing free content (don't want to be overwhelmed).

    RE: Cashouts, yes you can specify a different email address for Paypal

    Sorry important change everyone, you must be at least 18 years old to sell assets in our store. Sorry for overlooking this. If anyone currently in the beta is not 18, please drop me an email.

    We'll not be accepting applications from anyone under 18 from now. If you are not 18 years old or older, please do not apply for the new store beta.

    russpuppy good question. We'd have to check with Steam ToS to see if they are permitted for sale like that though. Even if so, we're not going to implement that for initial launch.

    famekrafts you need to be in the private beta, read the original post for details.

    Everyone else, it's hard to give a fixed release date but it's all coming on nicely, don't worry! Fedback from sellers so far has been extremely positive and we're getting a lot of constructive feedback as well.

  • Added in a lot more protection today, confident it will reduce it.

    IMPORTANT: You must be at least 18 years old for legal reasons to sell assets in our store

    We're gearing up to launch the new Scirra store in the next couple of weeks which features an asset store. The new store will allow:

    • Ability to upload and sell your assets
    • Promotional options, sales, flash sales, bundles - sellers can set their own settings for these
    • Item versioning, so sellers can easily update their assets with newer versions
    • Purchases in multiple currencies (we'll be launching with at least 15 supported from our most popular visitor locations)
    • Ability to set items with 'exclusive prices', when purchased at this price they are removed from sale
    • All assets sold will be under a Royalty Free License which makes it easy and safe for buyers
    • Full customer review system
    • Support for audio previews/youtube videos and screenshots to help promote items
    • Easier to navigate and more accessible store

    Here's a few screenshots so far:

    The standard deal we offer is:

    • We take a 30% commission after fees (typically payment processor fees and sales tax)
    • You must distribute your assets under our Royalty Free Agreement (where applicable)

    Do you have assets to sell?

    If you do, please send an email to tom@scirra.com, with a sample of your work and your Scirra username. We'll then review the assets for suitability in our store for initial public release. If we like them, we'll give you private beta access to the new store where you can upload your assets if you choose.

    When the store is released, we will charge a £15 fee for new seller accounts. For people accepted onto the private beta this fee will be waived (free access!)

    3 days before the public release of the store, we'll be emailing all sellers to make sure they are happy with everything before we go live.
