Of course there might be a few people or perhaps more who will want to open up their own personal avatar / signature shop to gain their own Chao Club Cash. However, there will be some basic guidelines and some common sense guidelines you will need to take into consideration before you make a shop.
Step By Step Guideline.
Making The Shop:
Simply post a thread, give your shop a name in the thread title. It can be catchy, or it can be basic, (IE: Eco XXX'S Avatar Shop).
Preparation:
Please, at least have THREE signatures/avatars or what ever you are selling ready before you make your thread. Letting people request what they want is acceptable, but please make sure you're not making a completely useless thread. Have something for sale ready.
Remember,
You need to give a price and caption of what you sell, take the main Chao Club shop as an example:
Code:Image of Item
Cost:
Made by:
About the Item:
How the trade off works:
Unless you are a staff member with the appropriate power, you can not handle the money yourself. That is why you'll need to have a staff run over the trade for you. A staff member is expected to verify the purchase. The staff member should quickly act on adding and subtracting the appropriate amount of money from each account. If it takes too long, please contact a staff member via PM and request they take care of it.
Keep in mind,
If you don't use your purchase, you can't get your money back. I doubt this will be an issue. Once you purchase something, that is when you have the RIGHT to use what the author/store keeper is selling.
50% Warnings and bankruptcy will occur,
If a user is caught using a signature/avatar/item that wasn't paid for. And remember, that's only the first warning.
Note: All images in personal shops MUST be made by the shop owners. Any shop found containing material that is not owned by the user running the shop will be deleted immediately and the user given a 30% warning.
But in essence, have fun with the shop keeping. These are pretty basic rules, they just have hard consequences!
