Photogon fees for commercial users
Commercial users will be billed the following usage fees:

Registration Free plus $20 credit!
Bidding Free
Wanted ads Free
Use of MyPage Free
Classified Ad $5.00 each, or less
Auction Listing $5.00 each, or less
Sales Commission None

All commercial accounts start with a $20.00 credit, so that you may get started right away.  If you choose to utilize our site beyond the initial $20.00 credit, you will need to make payments. 

If you will be listing more than 25 ads per year, you can reduce the cost dramatically, by purchasing bulk packages.

If you will be listing more than 10 ads per month, we offer "Dealerships" which give you unlimited ads for a flat rate monthly fee.  However, your first step is to continue with this registration process, and then contact us about dealerships if you are interested.
