Founding Sellers Program

The Founding Sellers Program rewards the first ten qualifying active sellers with a permanent Founding Seller badge and one extra calendar month of slot access.

Complete all four requirements

Own an active, published, eligible slot; publish at least two legitimate products; complete at least five paid and successfully fulfilled orders; and receive at least one eligible buyer review tied to a qualifying order. Deleted, suspended and demo slots do not qualify. Products must satisfy the usual publication rules.

Real activity only

Unpaid, refunded, failed, disputed, duplicate and demo orders do not count. Self-purchases, confirmed related-account purchases and fraudulent reviews are excluded. Suspicious patterns may require administrative review. Abuse can disqualify activity or result in badge revocation.

Ten lifetime places

Places are allocated when all requirements are verified by the server. On activation, existing slots are checked in a consistent creation-date and ID order; historical qualification is not backdated. The initial review completes before awards are allocated. Later qualifications are ordered by server verification time, with slot ID breaking ties. Review approval does not bypass any requirement. The program closes to new winners after ten awards. A revoked place is not reused.

Your badge and extra month

A legitimate badge remains permanently assigned even after the program closes. It indicates early participation, not seller verification or a guarantee of transactions. The access reward extends the current valid subscription by one calendar month, once only, without replacing paid time or creating a payment. An eligible active entitlement is required at allocation; missing or expired access must first be resolved under the normal slot rules. The dashboard confirms the extra month only after it has been applied.
