| Why are only certifiable businesses allowed to sell on uBid.com? |
By allowing only established businesses to sell on our site, we reduce the amount of fraud activity caused by small individual sellers (i.e. stolen and counterfeit goods, non-shipment of product, etc.). |

| What are the costs of being a uBid.com Certified Merchant? |
None! There are no listing fees! uBid.com collects a small percent of the final value when an order is generated. Check out our Rate Card for the tiered fee schedule for further details. You can also download a working UCM Calculator (Microsoft Excel) |

All prospective UCM merchants are required to undergo a ten-point evaluation process. The UCM program is only open to established businesses and the certification process includes credit, background and reference checks, product authentication, interviews, etc. |

| What is the UCM key selling proposition? |
uBid.com’s Certified Merchant Program is the easiest and most effective way for you to sell online. |

| Does uBid have any plans to certify non-business sellers? |
At this time, the UCM program is focused solely on business-to-consumer selling. Business-to-consumer selling has proven far more reliable and given uBid.com the ability to greatly reduce fraud through our platform. |
