What You Should Know About Our Store

This store offers online merchandising for the local artists featured on our main music site, PghLocalMusic.com. We are now offering these artists the chance to vend their merchandise in our store on a consignment basis. Our store features easy online credit card processing, and we handle all of the shipping details. For our part, we keep a percentage of the sale (not including shipping) and then issue a check to the artist for the remaining amount. We do not charge any fees for memberships or setups, and we only make money when you make money. This store was setup to assist local musicians by providing them with a low-cost, low-risk means of vending their merchandise online.

Getting Your Items Into Our Store

To get your items into our store you need only to do the following:

Get us five (5) copies of each item you would like to have featured in the store. You can either send them by standard mail to our address or you can email us to see about making other arrangements if you will be in the immediate Pittsburgh area.
Send us an email so we know that your items are on their way. (We will send you back a reply email when we receive your items.)

Setup usually occurs within 24 hours from the time we receive your items. After Setup is complete we will send you an email containing a link to your new items page. The URL (web address) for this page will be www.PghLocalMusic.com/Shop/YourBandsName so you can easily promote your page and give people a direct address to buy your stuff. You can also link your web site to this URL.

In addition to sending us your items, we would recommended you send us a brief descriptive paragraph for each of your items, or else supply us with a web link where we could get the content ourselves. Also, if you have any "Real Audio" files (please no mp3's) that you would like added to your items page, you can either email them to us or again send us a link to them.

If you do not have your music converted to "Real Audio" already and would like to have this done Click Here for more details.

Selling Your Items

All items are sold on a consignment basis and we charge a 25% vendors fee for every item sold. You are responsible for setting the price of your item. When one of your items is sold through our store, we deduct our fee and credit your account with remaining portion of the sale. (Shipping charges are separate.) We then send you an email giving you the details of the sale. Every thirty days we will cut you a check for the balance of your account. (Example, if you would sell a $10.00 CD through us, we would get a $2.50 vendors fee while you have $7.50 credited to your account.)

Keeping Us Stocked

What we ask of you is to keep us stocked with your items, and we will notify you when we are down to just two (2) copies of your item so you can arrange to send us some more.

Receiving Your Checks

We mail out checks every thirty (30) days to clear up any due balance that your account may have. Please make sure we have your current address, and be sure to notify us of any changes.
