Announcing: the Indie Rpgs Un-store
Anna Kreider:
Vincent,
Can you go into more detail with regards to #3? I don't think I really understand your answer.
I'm thinking about using this for European sales, since just about half of my sales (rough estimate) for TABAW have been overseas, and sticking with IPR for North American sales.
Thanks,
~Anna
Eero Tuovinen:
Vincent means that if somebody from USA goes and makes an order from a button intended for Europeans, then it's up to you to decide what you do with the customer who is now paying too much postage. Likewise, if the customer was in Australia or something and used that button, he might be paying too little now.
lumpley:
Hey Anna.
Eero's right. Does it answer your question?
The un-store can't tell where people are. You can say clearly on your listings "DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU'RE IN EUROPE," but it'll be up to you what you do with people who aren't in Europe who buy it anyway. (Same as you would a buy-now button on your own page.)
I thought that PayPal had an option when you create your button to require an address from a certain region, but I can't find it now. If it still exists, you can use that.

Anna Kreider:
Yes it does. Thank you.

Hello Vincent
The site is looking really nice and this has gotten my gears running for doing something similar in the french speaking parts of the web!
Ron has stated a number of times that he's not interested in creating a Forge brand. How is this different? How will it not be the absolute must to be on THE Un-Store (apart from the important practical issues)? Is this because anyone can get in and because there's no profit to be made just for owning the brand (because no one uses it as such in the first place)? I don't believe it's ever going to be a problem, the Bookshelf certainly didn't fall into that hypothetical absurdity I evoked. I'm just interested in the way the indie economic thinking articulates in this particular case.
