1. How are monthly Shop payments handled?
Each month a reminder is sent five days in advance informing that your Shop @ Funky Finds invoice is available. You have these five days to make your payment. If you pay early, it is pro-rated to be less than full price. Simply log in to your account and click the "Make Payment" button to make your monthly payment. If we do not receive a response within reasonable time, we will assume you do not intend to maintain your Shop and it will be deleted from our system.
During the five-day period you'll have these four options available:
(1) Make payment and keep everything as is
(2) Upgrade your Shop type on the Manage Shop page
(3) Downgrade your Shop type when you contact us
(4) Delete your Shop on the My Shops page upon login

2. Advance Payment Information
