2Bux Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is 2Bux?
2Bux is an online application that helps videomakers make money
from their favorite activity - making videos! Users of the 2Bux website can set up
Stores that show items they have for sale. They can also use the 2BuxAuction system
to sell viewing rights to their videos. Users can progress in the User Level system
by meeting certain requirements. Each Level brings new privileges! Transactions in
the 2Bux system are paid with 2Bux Money. 2Bux Money can be Added and Withdrawn with
a user's PayPal account. Anyone can visit the 2BuxMall but only 2Bux Users can create
a Store and use the other parts of the system. New Users can join the system by Invitation
only.
What is the 2BuxMall?
The 2BuxMall is one central place for videomakers to tell the community
about things they may have for sale. Videomakers create and customize their own Stores.
Each store has an "About" area, a place for Links to other websites and a list of
Pictures of items for sale. Optionally, a Store may have a PayPal Donate button. It
may also have a video which further explains the Store and the items for sale. In
the future, we plan to offer Digital Downloads from 2Bux Mall Stores. This will allow
users to sell music and e-books from their Stores. 2Bux Mall Stores can be visited
by anyone on the internet.
What are 2BuxAuctions?
2Bux Video Auctions allow videomakers to sell viewing rights to
exclusive videos that they create. This is done using an auction-like system. The
videomaker Lists their video on our site, and chooses the Minimum Price that they
want to sell the video. This Price is known only to the videomaker. Bidders place
anonymous Bids ($2 or more) on the Listings. The Bids are the Maximum that a Bidder
will pay to see the video - their Bid is this amount, and all lesser amounts. For
example, a $5 Bid is also a $4, $3, and $2 Bid. Listings last one week. During that
time, if the number of Bids at any amount times the number of Bids at that amount
exceed the videomaker's Price, funds are transferred and the video is unlocked for
viewing by the winning Bidders. Winning Bidders can watch the video here on 2Bux for
30 days after the Listing has been completed. The videomaker agrees not to post the
video anywhere for one year. After one year, they can do what they want with the video,
including Listing it again on 2Bux. Listers and Bidders must have a 2Bux account to
List and Bid on videos. Accounts are available by invitation only, from current 2Bux
users.
What are 2Bux User Levels?
Users of the 2Bux Mall and 2Bux Video Auctions are able to move
up in Level. Certain requirements have to be fulfilled in order to advance in Level
and certain benefits are given to users who reach each Level. Requirements include
length of your membership, number of users invited to 2Bux, funds in your account,
amount added to your account, number of transfers from your account and number of
Video Auction Winning Bids. Benefits include Store Customization options, Commenting
privileges, number of invites that you can give to new users, cash bonuses, commissions
on exit fees from those users that you have invited to the system and possibly even
stock in the 2Bux company.
What is 2Bux Money?
Users use 2Bux Money funds in their account to Bid on videos, buy
items within the system and give to other users. Money can be Added to, and Withdrawn
from, your account through a PayPal account. We credit your account with the full
amount of your addition. Any PayPal fees accessed to us are paid by us and are not
passed along to the user. For example, if you use PayPal to pay us $20, your account
is credited with the entire $20. Money can be withdrawn from your account and added
to your PayPal account. We charge an exit fee to pay for site expenses and to fund
the cash bonuses and commissions that you can earn at various User Levels. If you
Withdraw less than $100, we charge a 20% exit fee. If you Withdraw $100 or more, we
charge a 10% exit fee. The amount of a Withdrawal, minus the exit fee, will be credited
to your PayPal account within one week of your request. PayPal may charge additional
fees. There are no transaction fees when you use money from your account in the 2Bux
system. If you use all of the money that you add to your account, or earn from your
2Bux activities, you will never pay any fees at all. Fees are only accessed when you
Withdraw money from the system.

How can I customize the look of my Store?
You will have different options for customizing the look of your
Store, depending on your Level. Level 1 Users can pick from a limited set of backgrounds
and color schemes. Their links will always be in the left column and their video and
pictures will always be in the right column. Higher Level Users will be able to use
any picture (within reason) as their background and will be able to set the color
of various elements on the page. They can decide if a Module should be in the left
or right column. They will also be able to add a Footer Module. A Footer Module can
contain Google Ads, Banner ads and affiliate ads. For an example of a Store with a
Footer Module, see
the
2Bux Store.
