User Shops are shops owned by individual users. Each account has one shop which can be stocked with as many items as the user wants. The user also gets to determine the prices of each of the items in their shop. Items stocked in user shops are listed in the Shop Search in order of lowest price to highest price. You can also see someone's user shop by going to their User Profile and clicking "view" next to "Shop".

Note: Money earned from user shops go straight to the shop owner's on-hand WC/CWP. There is no "till" or similar that users need to retrieve their money from.

Your Shop

Your Shop can be found by clicking "Home" and then "Your Shop". Here you can sell items you no longer want for currency.

Stock

This is the page you're taken to by default when you click "Your Shop". Here you will see a list of all the items you currently have stocked in your shop, along with the amount you have stocked, their CWP and WC price, and whether or not they are "friends only" (meaning only people on your friend list can purchase them. See "Stocking Your Shop" below for more information). To the right of each entry will also be two buttons; "Edit" will allow you to change the WC and CWP price of the item. "Cancel" will allow you to remove the item from your shop and put it back in your inventory.

Stocking your Shop

To stock your shop, you must first go to your inventory. Once there, find the item you wish to sell and click it's picture. A menu will pop up, and one of the options listed will be "Sell". Click that to be taken to the item selling page. Here you can select the quantity of the item you want to sell from a drop down menu, as well as the price in WC and/or CWP. (Note: Only use digits when assigning a price to an item. Commas, decimals, etc. will cause an error). Finally, you can check the box next to "Sell to friends only?" if you want the item to only be purchasable by users on your friend list (not recommended, as it significantly reduces the pool of potential customers). If you select this option, you will not be able to change it without removing the item from your shop and re-adding it.

Before pricing an item and putting it up for sale, it is a good idea to check the shop search to see how other users are pricing the same item. This will help you make sure you aren't pricing your item too high or too low.

History

This page lists all the items that have been bought from your shop. For each item it lists who bought it, the price they paid for it, and the date and time at which it was purchased.

Info

Here you can set a name and description for your shop. You can do this by clicking "edit" next to the words "Shop Info". Note that the description and name you set will only be visible to users who are viewing your shop specifically, not in the shop search menu.
