Sellers & Creators FAQ
What exactly is KennysDIY.com?
KennysDIY.com is a curated premium multivendor marketplace explicitly crafted for downloadable project plans, templates, manuals, and instructional guides in standard PDF format. We target dedicated hands-on makers, and do not warehouse or list physical goods.
What types of DIY project items can be sold?
We accept original digital files spanning categories such as structural woodworking, home carpentry, welding tutorials, landscape/gardening blueprints, and crafting guides. All finalized items must compile into clean, standard PDF documentation.
How do I acquire a seller account on the site?
KennysDIY operates entirely on a moderated, curation-first footprint. Creators can apply directly through our screening portal. Every incoming data application is reviewed line-by-line by our founder to confirm market and brand alignment. Check out the details at our Become a Seller Page.
Am I required to submit a minimum quantity of plans?
To ensure a clean, authoritative presence for your custom storefront brand, we find that a baseline catalog structure of at least five (5) high-grade PDF documents works best. Exceptional individual cases can be discussed with admin during onboarding review loops.
Are there system listing costs or storage fees?
There are absolutely zero listing expenses, setup fees, or membership subscriptions. Our simple financial model operates on a standard performance split: 40% covers all administration, gateway checkout processing, and platform maintenance, while 60% flows directly to you.
Who designs and prepares the final product sales listings?
To ensure high visibility and search metrics across our directory, our administration manually crafts your items’ public market presentation. We compile SEO-optimized summaries, generate category tags, and extract readable preview thumbnails directly from your uploaded source files.
Do authors receive an individual public storefront link?
Yes. Every approved vendor receives a clean, dedicated marketplace brand storefront web link displaying their unique profile biography alongside their compiled collection of projects.
What exactly is the flipbook sample module framework?
Our interactive flipbook framework allows customers to page through a secure preview selection of your guide document directly in their web browser before purchasing. To shield your work from unauthorized copying, critical measurements or step specifics are masked out. The clean, unmasked file downloads automatically upon checkout authorization.
Do sellers need to provide customer support?
No. Sellers are not required to provide project-building support or technical construction assistance unless they choose to offer it.
The site administrator does not provide building advice and is not the author of individual seller plans. However, the administrator will ensure that customers successfully receive their digital downloads or are issued a fair refund if a file is not as portrayed.
How do buyers access purchased products?
Following a successful transaction, buyers can download their project PDF files instantly from the order confirmation page or via their user dashboard. A backup download link is also sent immediately to the purchaser’s email address. Because this is a digital-only marketplace, no physical shipping is involved.
How and when do sellers get paid?
Sellers can request a platform payout via PayPal as soon as their account balance reaches the minimum threshold of USD $50. Approved payout requests are processed securely within 30 days, provided all marketplace seller conditions are met.
Are sellers responsible for their own taxes?
Yes. Independent sellers are solely responsible for calculating, collecting, and reporting any local taxes, sales duties, or income obligations arising from their marketplace sales according to the governing laws of their country of residence.
Can a seller close their account?
Yes. Sellers may request account closure at any time by lodging a request with the site administrator. Any outstanding customer obligations, pending downloads, or balance settlements must be fully resolved prior to formal account closure.
Where is the business primarily focused?
While KennysDIY.com proudly serves a worldwide audience of builders, the primary target customer base is centered in the United States, backed by over 25 years of hands-on experience operating similar global, online DIY marketplaces.
Who owns and operates KennysDIY.com?
KennysDIY.com is owned and operated by Les Kenny (legal name: Leslie Peter Kenny), proudly based in and managed from New Zealand.
