* Enterprise and E-Commerce accounts will be billed one month's service upon activation. Partial months will be credited with the next month's invoice. At least thirty (30) days notice is required to end services.
** Members are listed on alphabetical index pages and on category index pages. Higher account types are listed first and by number of listings within each account type. All Enterprise members are presented first when following the "Shops" link from any Trocadero community page.
*** Quantity of listings are calculated as an average across each month - not the total at a single point or at the end of the month.
**** Accept credit cards online from your clients through PayPal, Google Checkout or Authorize.net. Sellers on Trocadero are more successful when interfaced for digital transactions with one or more (you need an account with each service used - inquire with us at admin@trocadero.com if you would like an Authorize.net application.)
Suggestion: If at first uncertain whether to subscribe to the E-Commerce level or the Enterprise level, try starting at the lower cost E-Commerce level. It is easy to upgrade later without needing to do any more work. Listings from E-Commerce accounts show with equal priority to those from Enterprise accounts in venue category pages

What You Need (minimum)
- A PC or MAC
- online access
- A digital camera, or a scanner and means to take photographs
- Photographic editing software may prove helpful - satisfactory software is often bundled with a digital camera or scanner
(but Trocadero's easy to use tools greatly diminish need to use extra software if at all - automatically sizing images upon upload.)
If you can access and read these pages, then you can use Trocadero's services. The basic tools are your computer, e-mail and a camera. If you have ever logged into an online account and if you have ever uploaded pictures or attached them to e-mail, then you have the skills. You will need to have digital pictures of your inventory. The rest is just becoming familiar with us (our support staff is ready and able to assist.)
