We generate income through commissions from the sales of written works.

How much we earn depends on what price an author considers for her/his eBook, and on how many eBooks are sold: On XinXii, every author or publisher set whatever price she/he wants for the eBook, and we earn our commission only if we sell the eBook.

For customers: After login, the account can be deleted in the user account ( see "My Account" > "User Account").

For authors: before deleting the account, please delete all posted products, save any necessary tax-relevant documents (e.g. commission credits). eBooks and audiobooks distributed via XinXii must first be logged out of the distribution on the project page. Here it still takes a short time until all stores confirm the deletion. After that the project can be deleted completely.
The account or all other stored data can now be deleted in the user account ( "My Account" > "User Account") via the function "Close Account".

After you purchase an eBook, you will be directed to your XinXii account where you can download your file(s) in the "Orders / Invoice" section.

You can pay by PayPal or Credit Card.

Please note that we use iPayment as a partner for credit card transactions and they implement state of the art security tools and techniques to ensure that your card details are secure. XinXii does not have access to any of your credit card details.

No, you can only rate and comment on a document that you have bought on XinXii.

Yes, totally. XinXii's comment system is designed so that you can register and post anonymously.

To rate and comment on a product after a purchase, you must first be logged in. On the media library page and on the order page with an overview of the purchased items, a link to the evaluation will be activated for a period of 4 weeks, where you will also have the opportunity to write a detailed review. The product can also be rated anonymously, simply select the option before saving.

If the publication which you have downloaded does not match with the description text, then please get in touch with us at support@xinxii.com.

Please remember to include details of why you consider that the publication is faulty.

We will contact the author/seller to resolve the issue. Thank you!

Just send us an email at support@xinxii.com, and we will forward your message along.

Yes. We check uploads for viruses, but this doesn't mean that you will never get a virus. We recommend to have an UP-TO-DATE virus program installed on your system.

We distinguish 2 types of coupons:
the coupon for a free download or the code/coupon for a reduced sales price, also called discount code.

a) You can redeem your download coupon as easy as this:

1. Click on the link "Activate coupon" on the product page, a small field opens to enter the coupon.
2. After activation, the user will receive an email with the download link, which is then back on the product page.
3. All available document formats are displayed, the files can be downloaded directly. Please download directly, because the coupons are usually only activated for a certain time.

b) Discount coupon: This is activated in the shopping cart area, the discount is displayed directly.

Note: The author can define a validity period for each code. If there are problems with redeeming the coupon, the promotion is probably finished.

For a review the link "Write review" is available on the product page. After registration you can write your review or comment here.

You can upload and sell (almost) any kind of written work - in all categories and genres: poems, recipes, study notes, manuals, guidebooks, textbooks, business plans or PhD theses.

Inappropriate material, Reseller eBooks and content that violates our Terms of Use are removed as soon as they are detected or reported and the publishers are excluded from the platform.

Nothing: Publishing on XinXii is FREE!

We do not charge any service (one-time-fees or transaction fees e.g.), and no additional costs will occur.

We do not reduce royalties by fees such as payment processing fees (by PayPal e.g.), retailer discounts, costs due to erroneous or fraudulent transactions or credit card charge-backs. 

Yes. If you don't want to use your real name, use a pseudonym and put it in your author profile.

Yes, you just need to open one single XinXii account to manage multiple pen names.

No, a customer can only see the information which you publish on XinXii or in your eBook. We never pass your registration information to any third party.

The short answer is: no.

No, we do not demand an exclusive distribution deal. You retain all ownership rights, and you are free to publish your eBook elsewhere. To avoid angry customers it is just important that an eBook being sold on XinXii is not published as a free version somewhere else.

No. On XinXii, you benefit from a complete control over your online store: you can remove an item whenever you want to.

On XinXii, you set whatever price you want for the eBook and keep...

• 70 percent of net sales for works and eBooks
  with a list price greater than $2.49 / £1.59
  
• 40 percent of net sales for works and eBooks
  with a list price at or between $0.99 and $2.48 / £0.89 and £1.58
  

To receive your royalties, you can choose between PayPal and Bank Transfer as payment method (-> "My XinXii > Author: edit account information"). Please note, that we perform transactions via Bank Transfer only in the European currency zone and in Euro (more information: SEPA). 

Once the minimum amount of EUR 20,00 (~ US$ 27.00 / GBP 17.00) has been confirmed, you can request the payment by click (-> "My XinXii > Sales History"). The amount will then be paid at the end of the following month after being requested. 

A real advantage on XinXii: You can select the currency in which you want to be paid by us (USD, GBP or EUR).

At XinXii.com, an American author is not asked to give a tax ID number, just name and address.

No. XinXii is only for original works by their original author or publishing houses. It is not allowed to sell eBooks that you've purchased anywhere (PLR eBooks or eBooks with reseller rights). Please note, that the unauthorized re-selling will result in immediate account termination, and all earnings will be forfeited, per our Terms of Use.

You can choose the currency, in which you want to manage your XinXii-account (that means the currency in which sales prices are settled and transactions of revenues are made). So if you select USD, you will be paid by us in USD (w/o conversion).

Yes, you keep all rights to your work and you grant us nonexclusive rights to use the work you upload to us. 

As XinXii is an European based company, we have to warrant two aspects: 

1. - we have to pay the German VAT to the tax office for each digital product sold (7%)
   
2. - the VAT must be always included in the final price of all products listed on XinXii

The purchase price is the amount you set for your work. It is the amount that buyers will be charged.
The lowest amount that you can charge for a document is 0.99 US$ / GBP.

As you have full editorial control over your documents, you can see what is selling and change their prices accordingly.

XinXii allows authors to make their own choices throughout the publishing process. We do not exercise any editorial control over the information entered - as long as the user does not violate our Terms of Use.

Your eBook is published instantly after your upload.
But you can modify the description, the price etc. online at any moment and in real-time.

If you want to upload eBooks in different languages, then you do not have to open another account.
You just click on the "Publish"-tab, fill in the provided fields and select the language.
The eBook is then automatically listed on the corresponding XinXii-site (-> xinxii.fr or xinxii.es for example).

No, we are providing an ISBN only through the "XinXii Power" package - to authors who distribute their eBooks through us.

Yes, when you obtain an ISBN through us, we are sending a copy of your eBook to the German National Library.

"Distribution" means that we deliver the eBooks already published by us to other eBook shops on request by the author, so they could be additionally presented and sold there.
