GEMM [which stands for Global Electronic Music Marketplace] is a web site shaped like an open market in which anyone can sell and buy CDs/Vinyls/Tapes and so on. As a customer, GEMM enable you to order, pay for, and track delivery of items in a secure on-line shopping cart system. This includes efficient processing of credit card payments. As a seller, Afe ships items directly to you, but you make your payments to GEMM. So, how is this possible? GEMM offer various possibilities to the seller... Afe choosed to split the cost of GEMM ordering. GEMM provide secure order forms for Afe items, process credit card payments, and collect a 10% surcharge from you, plus a 5% cut from the Afe sales receipts. If you would like to buy an item which is listed at $10.00 in the Afe catalogue, you can order it through GEMM secure on-line shopping cart system paying $11.00. This way GEMM will earn $1.50, and Afe receive $ 9.50. If you make a big order, or if you are one of the usual Afe customers, you will not benefit of any discount or special conditions since this is not possible in GEMM. As you probably noticed, it would be cheaper to order directly from Afe, and if you don't need the credit card facilities, this is still the best way.
