FileShoppe - With instant payouts! Not your typical file host

Did anyone receive payments from FE?

FE=Fileshoppe

Would we not be FSp/FSpe/FSe?

Also, just to clarify, we do not actually pay out ourselves, since we never recieve the funds. Funds are paid directly to the content provider's merchant ID instantly on every purchase. Kind of like how E-Bay buyers pay the sellers, and not E-Bay.

For files with a price of $0.00 set, you recieve 20% of the premium sale value.

So it would seem that a $0.05 sale was made! Congrats I guess...

Do you charge the fee when the download starts or when it is successfully completed?
If the case is the first one I suppose downloader lose his money if he can't complete because connection fails and he gets a different IP.

The payment is made first and we verify payment before delivering the content.

The link (URL) of which the user downloads from is active for at least 24 hours providing plenty of opportunity to fully download the file, and even resume failed downloads.

If the downloader's IP changes, then the link would indeed be invalid and the user would not be able to resume the download. But even if the link dropped, the user's IP should not really change, which means they WOULD be able to resume.

A very innovative system but 10c per GB is too expensive for downloaders, they can download as premium users from other hosters at 1/10th that price or even less.
IMO 2c per GB shared 50/50% with the uploader might be a competitive price.
However very interesting for people who want sell valuable and unique contents.

Thanks for the cudos!

Yes our model is not designed to suit copyright infringment behavior. It is certainly geared towards people looking to sell their own digital products and content.

That being said, I really do not think 10c per GB is a lot.

If you imagine 30GB /month, you are talking about $3.00! I believe the normal cost of a file host subscription is around US$60 /year, which would mean the downloader would need to download over 600GB in order for their pricing to actually be cheaper. Not to mention, such subscriptions are a commitment to the service, which may be undesirable.

Further more, at $0.02 per GB, shared 50:50 with the content provider, this means there is a less than $0.01 revenue (5% CarrotPay fee) per GB of bandwidth. This pricing is a losing model as the bandwidth alone would cost more than that, ley alone the upkeep.

Actually, for low volume, high value content, our pricing is actually too cheap and we will probably implement a fee of 1% of the value of the transaction OR our standard $0.10/GB fee, whichever is higher.

So in this case, if a 10MB file is uploaded with a price of $100, the uploader would still recieve $99, and our fee would be $1.00, instead of $0.01.

The upload speed is so slow...Hope you could make it a bit faster. Just wonder how long the files can be kept in the server?
