Frequently Asked Questions
Do all versions of ComicBase work with Atomic Avenue?
All the current editions of ComicBase 11, including the Express edition, integrate
seamlessly with Atomic Avenue. ComicBase 10 users can download a special updater
from the ComicBase web site to enable them to work with Atomic Avenue. Older versions
of ComicBase are not supported, although you can upgrade to the current version
by entering your current serial number when ordering at the ComicBase
online store.
I don’t want to sell all my comics, just my duplicates. Can I do that?
Atomic Avenue will only post the comics you’ve marked as for sale within ComicBase.
If you don’t want to sell a given title, just uncheck (or use the Mass Change or
Quick Change commands to uncheck) the For Sale box on any comics you don’t want
to sell.
If you only want to sell off your duplicates, mark the issue as For Sale, but use
ComicBase’s Mass Change command to set your Minimum Quantity to 1. This tells ComicBase
to always hold back 1 copy from sale.
Does it cost anything to buy on Atomic Avenue?
All you pay for is the comic, at the seller’s price, shipping, and if required,
tax. Atomic Avenue takes no additional fees from the buyer.
What does it cost to sell on Atomic Avenue?
Listing your comics for sale on Atomic Avenue is free. You are only assessed a commission
when you sell a comic on Atomic Avenue, and that cost is considerably less than
selling your comics on other commercial resale and auction sites. You are charged
a percentage of your sale price, on a sliding scale by value and volume. To see
our sales fees, see the Sales Fees and Shipping Reimbursement section.
Do I have to sell my comics at ComicBase’s values?
Atomic Avenue takes the value in the Selling Price field for your comic in ComicBase.
You can overwrite that field, or with the Mass Change command, change it by a percentage
to post comics with your unique selling price.
How Do I Add a Comic to My Wish List?
When browsing comics, just click the Wish List button instead of the Buy button
to add that comic to your wish list. Remember, however, that this doesn’t reseve
the comic—it can be sold at any time. If so, it will be automatically removed from
your Wish List.
Can I use a credit card to pay for my purchases?
Absolutely. We use PayPal as the payment processor for Atomic Avenue, which allows
you to pay either with the balance in your PayPal account, or with your Visa, MasterCard,
American Express, or Discover card.
