Honestly, I think the initial investment and staking are okay but the 10% commission is an overkill for a fledgling startup with little or no audience.
It will be difficult to get big stores to consider investing in Hivelist until Hive membership grows to something like 15 to 50 million. In the meantime, it would be advisable for Hivelist to target individuals, small retailers and dropshippers.
Of these, the dropshippers should be easy to target. However, the seller who uses dropshipping has to pay Hivelist 10% and the dropshipping company another 10 - 15% commission (I think) for services rendered for packing, shipping etc. This would make it difficult for the seller to price the goods competitively to secure sales.

RE: Do you use Hivelist to sell physical products, and if so, have the sales been worth the setup time and cost ?
