Q: The content I purchased appears to be a copyright violation. What do I need to do?
A: Contact customercare@zipidee.com if you identify content on Zipidee that violates copyright laws. You can also flag the digital content as “Inappropriate” in the preview or streaming page.

Seller Questions

Q: How do I upload my digital goods?
A: Simply follow the directions on the seller page to upload your content to your Zipidee account. You must register prior to uploading content. Zipidee supports the following file formats:
  • Videos: avi, mpeg, mp4, wmv, mov, flv
  • Music/Audio: mp3, wma
  • eBooks: pdf
For more information on preparing your video, audio and eBook content for upload, please see the Tips for Sellers page.

Q: Do I need to own the rights to the digital content?
A: Yes, you must have the legal rights to digitally distribute the content you wish to sell on Zipidee. Your content must not violate any copyright laws. Violators will have their accounts suspended and will not receive proceeds from the infringing content.

Q: How do I receive proceeds from my sales?
A: You will receive your profits once a month, with a minimum payment of $50. If you earn less than $50 in a given month, you must wait until your total sales reach $50 before receiving payment. Profits are sent to you via Paypal.

Q: Is there a monthly or other recurring fee to list my content for sale?
A: Listing Management fees will be waived for a limited time. In the future, Zipidee will charge a nominal fee ($1.00) per uploaded media. Zipidee will also subtract a processing fee (see next question).

Q: Are there other fees associated with my sales?
A: Zipidee will substract a processing fee which includes credit card or PayPal transaction fees plus Zipidee’s transaction fee of 20%. These fees are deducted from your set price. Exact fees assessed against your sales may vary depending on the type of payment (PayPal or Credit Card) a buyer uses. Fees are assessed as follows:
  • Payments made using PayPal incur a 2.9% + $0.30 fee for charges over $12.00 and 5.0% + $0.05 for charges under $12.00.
  • Payments made using Credit Cards (non PayPal) incur a 2.9% + $0.22 fee.

Q: Do I need a PayPal account in order to sell on Zipidee?
A: No. Zipidee issues seller payments on the fifteenth day following the seller’s monthly statement date. Payments will be made for the full amount of the seller’s statement balance, provided the net account balance equals or exceeds $50 as of the monthly statement date. A seller’s monthly statement date may not necessarily correspond with the calendar month end.

Earnings may be issued via PayPal, ACH (Automated Clearing House), or check. The seller is responsible for selecting a payment method and providing the proper information required for distributions. If an electronic payment method is not selected, a check will be mailed to the address the seller provided.

If you already have a PayPal account at the time of payment, PayPal will notify you that a payment is ready. If you do not have a PayPal account when Zipidee sends you your first payment, PayPal will alert you to open an account. PayPal charges Zipidee a transaction fee per payment, so your total received will be slightly less than your earnings on Zipidee.

International (non-USA) sellers will be paid either through a PayPal account or with a check. Zipidee reserves the right to impose limits and restrictions on international seller accounts.

Q: What if a customer has a complaint or problem?
A: You may receive a complaint directly from a buyer. It’s important for you to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with your customers. Satisfied customers will continue to purchase content from you, thus increasing your revenue and profits.

A Zipidee representative may become involved to resolve issues that are related to copyright violations, technology issues, or unlawful uses. Repeated issues or offenses may result in account suspension.

Q: How much does this cost me?
A: Nothing. Zipidee provides an easy way to promote and sell digital goods online in a secure and risk-free manner. We collect a 20% share of the profits from each transaction, so we benefit when you benefit.
