How to Become a Seller:
You Can Earn up to 100% commission with the Seller Referral Incentive Program!
Current sellers can earn an extra 5% commission for each NEW seller you refer to The Mother Load Sale! Working a volunteer shift, then bringing in 5 new sellers can earn you a full 100% of your sales!
There are 3 rules for you to receive the extra 5% credit: (1) The new seller must list your full name on the referral line of their registration form BEFORE they mail it in - it can't be added after we receive it and writing in "a friend" will not earn anyone credit. NO exceptions will be made so MAKE SURE they know to list your name as the person who referred them to TMLS. (2) The new seller must meet the 30-item minimum. The barcoding system will verify that for us.(3) The new seller must actually show up with their items for the sale. However, the new seller is not obligated to sign up as a volunteer and earns 65%, or 75% if they do work a shift. Once a new seller is registered with TMLS, they can then begin boosting their own sales commission by referring THEIR friends!
