1. What is PeopleStox?PeopleStox is the world's first "Experience" marketplace that enables people (Fans) to invest in unique experiences posted by talented individuals (Dreamers).
The Dreamers can be anyone from artists to entrepreneurs willing to sell a valuable experience or unique item in exchange for cash. The Fans can purchase, redeem and even sell their experiences for profit.
The first service of its kind, PeopleStox will revolutionize how people obtain the financial support to realize their dreams.
2. I don't quite get it. Can you give me an example?Here\'s an example of how PeopleStox works: - A budding musician desperately needs money for equipment. - To obtain the necessary funds, he sells a backstage pass for an upcoming performance through PeopleStox. –
The Fan can redeem the backstage pass Experience. You can also see a how-it-works demo.
3. Do I need to be a professional at something? Who can post Experiences?Absolutely Not! PeopleStox is a tool to unearth latent talents in individuals. In other words, What are You Good At? For Dreamers, PeopleStox can be a serious revenue-generating resource and an empowering tool to become independent. This is an extremely valuable option for folks impacted or at risk in slow economic environments. The types of Experiences that can be posted are virtually limitless
For people/groups who have achieved levels of fame, PeopleStox is an equally appealing tool as they can use the platform by providing them with a novel way to connect with current Fans, acquire new Fans and create new promotional vehicles all while creating new revenue streams for themselves.

If I sell an Experience on the site, how and when do I get my money?It's your talent and you deserve to get paid right away. We don't hold your money hostage in some internal account like other sites do. On top of that, we give you two options to get paid:
1.- PayPal. Just provide us with your PayPal ID (this is the email associated with your PayPal account) and once you sell and deliver an Experience, we will transfer the money to your accoutn instantly.
2.- Check. If you don't have a PayPal account or symply prefer to get a check instead, choose this option when listing your Experience. We will mail you a check the first Friday after your sale is complete. This payment option is only abailable for sellers in the U.S.

Not all users will be able to sell Experiences and get paid given current limitations of the Paypal system for sending money to specific countries. Please refer to the How it Works section for details
8. What makes you different from CraigsList, EBay?We get this question a lot. We are a dynamic marketplace for unique Experiences. Those sites aren't. These other sites are strictly buy-sell transaction-based and usually involve a tangible good. We are a buy-sell marketplace that caters to Fans that want truly one-of-a-kind Experiences.
9. What if I buy an Experience and the Dreamer fails to deliver?In addition to the Dreamer not getting paid, the Fan will also have their money refunded and can rate the Dreamer accordingly. Dreamers can be removed from the marketplace If they don't comply with the Terms and Conditions.
