How to pay for an order

If you are a Customer and you made a purchase, you will need to pay for it directly to the Seller. If the product requires shipment, wait for the Seller to inform you about the Transport price. Login to your Dashboard and go to Messages where you will receive a message from the Seller. The Messages application has translation functionality so even if the Seller speaks a different language, you can communicate. The Seller will send you information about payments. You can pay using the Oziway Wallet, or any other method that the Seller prefers. Paying with the Oziway Wallet is safer, because the Seller will need to withdraw the money that is in their Oziway Wallet, and so you have time to send a complaint if the Product is not delivered. If you want to pay with Oziway Wallet, you need to top it up first. To do so, login and go to the Wallet application, and use the DEPOSIT button . You will be redirected to the chosen payment method gateway (website)

Who delivers the products to you

The Seller delivers the items to you. The contact details to the Seller are on the item card [Seller Details], you can also write to the Seller using the Messages application which has a built in translation functionality, this will make things easier even is the Seller speaks a different language

Why can I not pay for items online immediately after the purchase

Only some items (like Digital products) are available with the immediate online payment option. For the rest of the items, You need to pay the Seller with the Oziway Wallet application, or by Wechat, PayPal, Bank transfer, Cash, or other methods that are preferred by the Seller. Negotiate with the Seller how to pay

How much does it cost to make a payment in the Oziway system?

Just like with Withdrawals (payouts), we also need to cover the costs of Deposits (Payins, Payments to us, you making a payment to the Oziway system). For this, we need to charge an administration fee of 5% of the amount being paid.
The paid amount will be increased by the administration fee. We need this fee to pay for costs of payment gateways or banks that charge us this fee

example:

column #1: Amount you want to pay to the Seller

column #2: Administration fee

column #3: Amount that you will actually pay

Is Oziway a safe marketplace

As with all internet ecommerce marketplaces, you should take precaution who you send money to. Try to deal with Sellers who have the best reputation
To increase the chance of positive Customer experience, we have introduced 3 tools to help the Customers
1) the Customer Protection Programme, where we release the funds to the Seller after we know, that you received your item 2) the Verified Seller Programme where a Seller will have the Verified Seller icon, after he sends us all formal documents and photos of the factory or office, to prove that they are running a legitimate business 3) the Promoters promote those Sellers which they know are safe (they have promoted these Sellers before and have received commissions). This is unique in Oziway. See on Oziway which Promoters promote which Products

What is the Customer Protection Programme

You can buy any product or service listed with Oziway, and pay directly to the Seller using a Bank transfer or other means. However, if you would like to pay using the Oziway Wallet for these products, you can do so, and in such cases, we will release the money to the Seller after we are sure that You received the Product. Even though the items will be delivered by the Seller of the product, we will need to know from you when You receive the item. If you do not tell us about the status of the delivery, we will assume that you received it after 7 days of estimated delivery time. Tell us if there is a problem with the delivery.
To increase the chance of positive Customer experience, we also advise Sellers to join our Verified Seller programme. For a Seller to be verified, they need to send us all formal documents and photos of the factory, to prove that they are running a legitimate business

How to withdraw money from your Oziway Wallet

To withdraw money you have to login to your account on Oziway and then from the Promoter menu, click on the Oziway Wallet application
In the Wallet application, click on Withdraw
Then, enter the amount to withdraw, choose the method of payment (bank account, PayPal, WeChat or Western Union, Revolut), and enter the account details
If you want to withdraw to a bank account, its important the account number is in an IBAN format (with the 2 letter country code in the beginning of the number)
If you are not sure how to fill out the withdrawal form, contact us using the Chat function, or the Messaging module to the Administrator

How to withdraw money to a different bank account

If you want to receive a payout to a different email address (in Paypal) or a different mobile number (in WeChat) then the one which is registered with us, then on the Payout Request Form you can enter this data in the comments field. Please note that such payout requests might take longer to be fulfilled, since we have to verify the data

How long does it take for Oziway to pay me the money

It depends on how the payment is to be made. With bank transfers, this takes from 3 to 5 days. With PayPal it should take less. With WeChat it also is pretty quick. We need to verify all payments before sending the request to the bank. Please remember that we make payments once per month at the end of the calendar month. Payment requests should be made 7 days before the end of the month, for us to send them in that month

Do you take taxes from my withdrawal request

We don’t need any contract with you in order to pay you out. We also do not decrease your payout to pay taxes. If you are an Australian resident then we will need this information from you including your ABN (Australian Business Number) or TFN (Tax File Number). If you are a resident of any other country then we will need to know this. This is all done during your first withdrawal request (we need to verify your tax residency – in which country you pay taxes). This will not last more than several days. You will need to pay taxes in your country and you can use the tax reports on your business dashboard to fill out your own tax forms. We will not help you here

How much does it cost to get the withdrawal request paid out

We need to take 5% from the payout, this is the administration fee. We have to pay for the external payment company, like Transferwise.com for example for bank transfers. For Western Union payouts, the cost is 10%. Every time you request a withdrawal and choose a Payment method, you will see the cost of the operation

example:

column #1: Amount you request to withdraw

column #2: Administration fee

column #3: Amount that you will receive

How Much Can a Promoter Earn with Oziway

It depends on two things:

- How well you promote your website or the items
- How well you grow your organization

But from our experience, we feel confident that Promoters that follow our steps should earn 50 USD per month or more, just on the small retail transactions. And then there are the large wholesale transactions which are worth a lot more money

In Oziway, you can receive an Active Commission and a Passive Commission. Grow your organization, invite others, and when you hear that someone needs an Item which is available on Oziway, invite them to buy the item from Your Oziway website

By promoting your website and the Items published there, you will earn an Active Commission from the generated sales. By growing your organization (so that others earn an Active Commission), you will earn a Passive Commission

Grow your organization by inviting others to register from your website, and tell your friends in your organization to grow their organizations also. This will be the basis for Passive Commission for you and your friends

The secret of success in Oziway: Grow your Organization by inviting Promoters and Customers

How can I start promoting

To start Promoting, you first have to register in Oziway (its free), and then you need to setup your free website which will feature products and categories chosen by you for promotion on the internet. When someone decides to make a purchase on your website, you don’t need to send or sell anything - the Seller of the purchased product delivers the product and once we receive the commission from the Seller, you receive your part of the commission (a part of that commission is also paid to the recruiter that invited you to the Oziway community

Does it cost anything to be a promoter on Oziway

Oziway is free for Promoters. Being a part of our Promoter community does not cost you anything. And you don’t have to do anything. You can earn additional money by promoting offers listed on Oziway. If someone buys something from your Oziway website (this product or service is delivered by the Seller and we receive a commission from the Seller), then you receive a large part of that commission. The person that invited you to Oziway will also receive a small part of that commission, just like you will receive a small part of the commission of each Promoter that you invited into Oziway. So keep promoting and keep inviting

How to setup my website for Promoting

When you register in Oziway, you first need to setup your account. Fill in your telephone number, email address, marketing messages and choose your product categories, and also choose your country of choice (where you intend to promote the store). Its best to use the same email address that you use in PayPal, or mobile phone that you use in WeChat (China), as these are the accounts that we will be making money transfers to. You receive from us your own “internet website” address full of products within the categories that you have chosen. You can change your profile and choose different categories at any time

All the products within the categories that you have chosen, get automatically added to your store. If you have configured your store to include entire categories of items, if new items are added to those categories, they will appear in your store automatically.

Active Commission

Active Commission is what you earn when your promotion directly results in a transaction being made. You told someone about your Oziway website and that person bought an item. As soon as we receive the commission from the Seller, we pay most of it to you. Your commission is called 1st level commission. A small part of that commission will stay in Oziway and also we will pay the Promoter that invited you to Oziway

Passive Commission

Passive Commission is what you earn when you invite a friend to be a Promoter in Oziway, and that friend promotes their own Oziway website or product which results in a transaction being made. The friend told someone about their website and that someone bought the item. As soon as we receive the commission from the Seller, we pay most of the commission to your friend, but you also receive a small part of the commission for growing your organization. Your commission is then called the 2nd level commission and your friends commission is called the 1st level commission. A small part of the commission will stay in Oziway

Make Your Organization International
