IMBB Sunday Bazaar is BACK!!!

Tweet

Owing to huge and persistent public demand, we have decided to bring IMBB Sunday Bazaar back again. We have been receiving a lot of mails inquiring about the weekly bazaar and blog sale and we had no go, but to respect the sentiment of everyone and hence the decision.  However, the bazaar won’t be up every Sunday as before, it would be set up once or twice a month as feasible and right now we would like to begin with just once a month Sunday bazaar.

So, ladies, open up your makeup and beauty stash and search in your cupboards for things that you think haven’t clicked with you but would work in a great way on others, err, nothing nearing expiry!!!!

The rules and regulations remain the same as before.  Please go through them once again.

What is IMBB Sunday Bazaar?

A kind of multi-sale happening on Sunday on IMBB for Indian residents only. Readers who want to sell any of their products- cosmetics, handicrafts, self-made products, old lucky underwears, etc.- can send us the details of the products and users who want to buy can wave their wallets. Simple? Not really.

To prevent any misunderstandings, grudges, hair-pulling, name-calling, or death threats from occurring here, we have made some rules for both buyers and sellers. These rules have been made because in the past blog sales a few buyers had some issues with the sellers. Hence, we are taking some necessary steps to prevent such occurences. I would list the rules one by one. Please note that ALL the rules are compulsory. Please NOTE that all the rules are compulsory. Please note that all the rules are COMPULSORY!

Rules for Sellers

1. The fixed entry fees for sending your products to be sold in IMBB Sunday Bazaar is given in the following chart. The reason we have kept the fees is that the past sales were taking a lot of our time, energy  and effort. At the end of the day, we were not gaining anything out of it. Hence, a nominal fees is kept for hosting a sale here from this time onwards.

Please remember that this is a non-refundable fees for uploading and maintaining your product details, and it has to be submitted to us in advance. Also, products not sold in the sale would be moved to the next one Sunday Bazaar and no fees would be charged for the same.

Please note that the price category your products would lie in would be determined by the price of the costliest product in your sale. Also, price = selling price of the article and NOT the original price.

2. To be eligible for the blog sale, you will have to scan and send the following at imbbteam@gmail.com-

• Your Landline Phone Bill (with address) OR Your Last Month Bank Statement/ Credit Card Satement (with address). This is needed for seller’s authentication. This has to be done only once. Once you are an authenticated seller, you can participate in all future Sunday Bazaars.

Rules for Buyers

1. Sale for any product would be on a first-come-first-serve basis through the comments section. If someone is interested in a product she can still bid for it even if it has been already bid for by someone else. So we can have bidder 1, bidder 2, bidder 3 etc. for some product. The chance to buy that product first will go to bidder 1; if bidder 1 does not respond bidder 2 would be given a chance to buy the product, and so on.

2. You have to confirm that you are purchasing a product of a seller by emailing the seller within 24 hours. Also, you need to transfer the amount in the seller’s account within 48 hours of receiving the seller’s bank account details. In case of a lack of confirmation or a lack of transfer of funds in the seller’s account, the seller has a right to offer the product to the next bidder.

3. Only female buyers can take part in Sunday Bazaar. The sale is not open to males buyers.

4. If you have transfered the amount in the seller’s account, you cannot cancel your order with the seller. Also, you cannot return the product once it reaches you. In case you have issues about a product once it reaches you, please contact us and we shall provide you the seller’s contact details. Please note that you are buying the products at your own risk and the seller is not liable to refund your money. However, you are free to discuss your concerns with the seller.
