First Name

Enter your real first name in the box provided. Capitalize the first letter and use lower case (small) letters for the rest of the name, like this: Stephen. Your name is used by us for contact purposes only. Please do not use an alias or ficticious name. Your name will not be shown to site visitors.

Last Name

Enter your real last name in the box provided. Capitalize the first letter and use lower case (small) letters for the rest of the name, like this: Robertson. Your name is used by us for contact purposes only. Please do not use an alias or ficticious name. Your name will not be shown to site visitors.

Login Name

Your login name, also referred to as just 'login' or 'ID', is one of the most important elements of your account information file. It is used to link between various database entries and carry information across pages and forms. It must be unique on this mall; that is to say, you cannot have the same login as anyone else. When you click the Enter Data button at the bottom of the New Account form the system will check for matches to other user names and advise you of the situation. You will either be able to continue on or return to the form and choose another name depending on the outcome of the match check. Your login name must be just one word, all lower case (small) letters and/or numbers with no spaces or punctuation. It must be made up of letters and/or numbers only. DO NOT use punctuation or other characters like underscores, ampersands, etc. Your login name should be at least 6 but not more than 20 characters long. It may be something unique, like: gg2ro9sm or it could be a combination of your first and last name, like this: marysmith. This is not the name used for your store, however your login name may be visible to site visitors in some cases. It is not secret. Select this carefully, however, as it cannot be changed later.

Password

Your password is very important. Keep it safe and do not share it with anyone. It is secret. It will be used to access your account and to open up special areas of the site to you. Your password must be one word with no spaces. It must be made up of lowercase (small) letters and/or numbers only. DO NOT use punctuation or other characters like underscores, ampersands, etc. Your password should be at least 6 but not more than 10 characters long. It is best to use a mix of seemingly meaningless letters and numbers, but to help you remember it, you can use the first letters from a phrase like: my mother's birthday is the 6th of june, or: mmbit6oj. Using just your name and birthdate, like this: mary120155 is not a good idea as it is too easy to guess.

Phone

Your phone number will only be used by us for important business or emergency contact. It will not be given to others nor will we call you for promotions or general site issues. If you wish to provide any special instructions about contacting you by phone, such as times to call or not call, please send them in an email to the site owners: lorama@swbell.net In the spirit of fair disclosure our phone number is: 620-728-1371. You may call this number for tech support, account, or other site related issues. We are generally available to take your calls betweeen noon and midnight U.S. central time.

Email Address

Provide a valid email address where we can reach you. Information, including acknowledgement of your successful creation of a new member account, will be sent to this address. This address will also be used for visitors to your store to contact you with questions or offers to purchase. Depending on the selection you make in your store setup, your email address may not be posted on the site. If you choose to use the internal mail process the Contact Seller button in your store and listings will link internally to your address, shielding it from spammers. Or you may choose to use a starndard email process that makes your email address potentially visible to others.

Package

There are 5 available store packages. One is free and the others are offered at various prices. Each package provides similar access to the site but a variety of different features. The main difference is between on-site stores and off-site websites.

1. The FREE "Mini-Store" packages allows you to list up to 10 simultaneous listings in one store in one mall of your choice. This package includes full tech support and many of the standard features of the paid packages. This package is ideal for those with a limited number of items to sell or who want to try the site before committing to a larger store. The package does not expire.

2. The $29.99 "Gold" package allows you to list an unlimited number of items in one internal store in the mall of your choice. This will be suitable for most sellers and is a great way to get started on the road to your online selling success.

3. The $49.99 "Platinum" package allows you to list unlimited items in multiple internal stores in multiple malls. This is the package for those who have a range of items suitable for multiple malls or who wish to separate their items into distinct stores. The price is the same for two, three, or as many stores as you wish. If you start with the "Gold" package you can always upgrade later.

4. The $49.99 installation, $15.99 per month, "Web-Store" package allows unlimited items in a fully stand-alone website with shopping cart and integrated blog. This site is linked from the mall most suitable for your product line but is a real, multi-page, website in its own right.

5. The $149.99 installation, $69.99 per month, "Delta Tri-Pak" package provides three separate sites from which to build your business: a MSMO "Gold" package store, a multi-page stand-alone blog site, and a multi-page semi-custom website that directly accesses your MSMO store inventory. All three sites are linked together and provide for powerful SEO capability.

Account Payment

Select a payment method and/or provide your PayPal address only for gold or platimum packages. Do not fill this section for free mini-stores.

Select the payment method you intend to use. If you select PayPal you must also provide your PayPal account email address in the space provided, even if it is the same as the email address entered above. This address will be used to bill your PayPal account for the amount associated with the package selected above. An automated monthly billing process will be set up with PayPal for this amount. Please be sure to complete the payment through PayPal in order for your account to be created and activated. Should you exit the PayPal process before completing the process (there are seveal pages -- be sure to go through them all -- and then you will be returned to the Main Street Mall site) your account may not be available and you may have to start the process over again with a different login name, or contact tech support.

When you finish the form and click the Enter Data button at the bottom, you will be taken to a completion form. If you choose other than PayPal as a payment method you will be shown where to send your payment by regular mail. You will need to wait until your payment has been processed before accessing your account and setting up your store/listings. If you intend to pay by PayPal you will be taken through a PayPal payment form where you will be charged the appropriate amount for the account you select and an automatic monthly billing process will be established.

We also accept Google Checkout though at this time it has not been automated into the form. If you wish to use Google Checkout for payment, please select "check" as the internal payment method and then contact us by email and we will provide instructions. At this time Google Checkout does not provide an automated subscription process so payments must be processed manually each month.

Security Numbers

The security numbers are randomly generated each time the signup page is opened. They are hard for hacker "bots" to read and copy, so they help prevent "graffiti" or "junk" accounts being entered. People, like you, can easily read the numbers and type them into the box provided. The numbers you type must match the numbers shown in order to proceed with account setup.
