EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO GET STARTED

Seller Features and Resources

Introduction

        We are excited to have you join My Country! Through the vendor dashboard you can manage your orders, print invoices, manage returns, and can use ShipStation to print off shipping labels. Whether you sell physical products or digital ones we have you covered. You can set the banner for your store including open and close hours. We even have a chat feature available that will allow you to answer customer questions in real time. You have the ability to add coupons and post news about your sales and promotions and just info about your business in our Latest News section. If you already have products on another site, we have an import feature for you to import your products without having to add them one by one. We want to make it easy for you to get your business on our site started without having to worry about competing with knockoffs from around the globe or companies who outsource their production to other countries. We put America first always. If you do well, we all do well. If you have any trouble on the site or there's a feature or category you need that isn't available, let us know. This site is for you and we'll add whatever you need if possible to help grow your business.

THERE ARE A FEW RULES

Seller Guidelines and Restrictions

Key Information

  • Nothing illegal or requiring an ID to purchase e.g. tobacco, alcohol, drugs of any kind will be sold on this site. Supplements are fine; just be sure to correctly label them in accordance with the law.
  • Nothing sexual or displaying sexual images of any kind will be sold on this site. If it is not okay for a child to view your product online, it is not ok to sell it here. This also includes posts. This is a family friendly site and we don't want children exposed to things they should not be exposed to.
  • Since we sell to California, be sure to put a Prop 65 label on any goods that require it, unless you choose not to sell to California. You can choose which locations you want to sell to. If you don't see the location listed in your dashboard, let us know and we will add it.
  • Be aware of the rules and regulations required to produce and sell your product. Make sure you follow all safety regulations and properly label your products. You are responsible for the products you sell and ship.
  • All products must be made or assembled in the United States. We understand that some raw materials, like certain foods and plants may not grow naturally in the U.S. and have to be imported. We understand that packaging may be an issue to source in the U.S. If for the packaging of your product you cannot find a U.S. supplier then that is permissible though not preferrable.
  • Some Examples: If you have a T- Shirt printing company and you get your shirts from Guatemala and then sell them here, that is not okay and we will delete your products and/or your account if you continue to post them. If you get your product tooled and produced in China and then smack your label on it after it gets here, we do not want those products sold on this site. We are aware that other countries make and sell quality products at affordable prices. That does not encourage job growth here in the U.S. like local manufacturing does and does not say American made whether you are an American business owner or not.
  • If you are a legal resident in the U.S. and you make your products here, we want your business, too. You embody the American spirit that makes this country great.
  • Posts are free, however, we do not want only one company's posts showing on the page; it becomes spam at that point. Advertising will be offered if you want your products shown at the top of pages. We will be freely advertising everyone's products in rotation at the top of the front page to give everyone's business an opportunity to be seen. If you would like us to advertise and market your products in advertising and social media, please send your requests to info@mycountryus.com. We do not charge for this.
  • We welcome customers and sellers from all backgrounds, religions, ethnic groups, etc. We expect sellers to show customers and other sellers the same respect they would want to receive. We may post our opinions on social media or this site like all of you, which may not be reflective of your views and your views may not be reflective of ours. That is okay with us. We are all entitled to our opinions and have a right to express them. If you have a problem with that, then do not sell on My Country. We bend our knees to no man. By signing up and agreeing to the terms and conditions upon registration and use of this site, you waive any right to sue due to loss, perceived or not.
  • Anything not covered on this page is covered under our Legal section in the footer on the homepage.

SIMPLE AND CHEAP

Pricing

This is for you, America.

           You might be thinking to yourself, wow that's a lot, what does it cost? We charge 3% on every item sold. This helps us to maintain the website and provide you with all the features and functionality you need to be successful. We are privately owned and operated with little overhead. We're not in it for the money but to help small businesses that in turn help this country. Stripe will charge you a processing fee for every item sold that is taken out automatically, as well as our part, before you are paid out. There are no hidden fees, only pay for what you sell. Amazon, eBay, and Etsy will charge at least 12% or more. With us you're looking at around 6% total give or take depending on the card. See Stripe for more details. We are not beholden to outside shareholders, and we want to put as much money into the hands of America's small business owners as we can to help grow our economy. If you feel the same, we hope you will join us because My Country is your country and together we can all make a difference.
