How the Abracadaban marketplace work?
Everybody can buy and/or sell banners on the Abracadaban website. It is important to realise that as a venue for item sales, Abracadaban is not acting as your agent and that transactions are between you and the purchaser. This has the legal implication that if you are doing something wrong such as breaching copyright, you are responsible and liable. The consequences of unlawful action can be severe, so please take care.

How does uploading work?
The uploading process is relatively simple. As a contributor, you complete an upload form, taking care to prepare your files properly. Once uploaded the banners are inspected by our review team to ensure the banners work and are a good fit for the library. If your banner is approved, it will appear in the library.

If a banner is not approved, the reviewer will provide some explanation on whether the banner needs a small improvement to be accepted, or is not appropriate for sale here. In both approval and rejection cases, you will receive an email to let you know the outcome of your upload.

How do contributors make money?

For every banner sold, you will receive a commission based on the following percentage: 40%. When one of your banners is sold, it can be used with no limits on time or copies. It can be used for: advertising, websites, blogs or any other online supports.
