Welcome to the Desert Caravan Mall!

Artwork Copryright 2003 Neopets, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Welcome to the Desert Caravan Mall's home page. You have been directed here either because You are a vendor in our Mall or because you want to be a part of our Mall. The Desert Caravan is a new mall focused on smaller vendors. We choose to have small vendors because we have found that they are the best at keeping prices affordable for our customers!

Gone are the days of bland, mass produced malls... Our Mall is an original creation designed to stick with our customers creating a loyal consumer base for our vendors to access. First and foremost our Mall's image as the low cost provider is our driving force. We do our best to keep our vendors honest and our prices fair which results in more repeat customers for our vendors and a better experience for our shoppers.

We are a mall focused on prices, we want to be fair to all of our customers and that means, first and foremost, keep prices affordable!

If you are starting your own mall and would like advice, feel free to contact me or my co-manager, willy777274. I keep a list of all the things to do including common mistakes, and lists of vendors to stay away from :)

Open Spots:
Battledome, Neohome, Medicine, and Wearables.

Certain Spots come with required Faerie Quest Slots too

Mall Rules
At the Desert Caravan, we keep standards high and that means our vendors have to follow a few basic rules:

  • Read our Mall news every day. This is the most important rule, the mall news will tell you when to update your banner or anything else important!

  • Keep your neomail inboxes empty. If it's full, you will recieve a Pile of Dung to let you know. This also counts as a warning.

  • Bump this board multiple times every day you are on.

  • The Mall banner must be above all other banners and text in your shop.

  • No Music or Complex Background or Layouts.

  • Shop size must be at least 100 but you must upgrade to reach your monthly goal which is different for each vendor. We want every vendor to make it to the small market sizes (Island Market, Haunted Market).

  • Keep your shop well stocked. This depends on each shops size and category, but a good rule of thumb is at least 1 full page of items for every 35 sizes, all of which should be in your category. (exceptions are made for Neggs and Training)

  • Keep your prices within the top half of your Shop Wizard page.

  • Be respectful and courteous to all Mall managers, Mall vendors, and customers.

  • We ask that you contribute for our periodic Notice Board Ads.

  • Please no Mall jumping. If you enter the Mall do your best to stay in it for a while.

  • If you are planning on leaving please give a weeks notice to the Mall Manager so they can fill your position. During this time we expect you to keep your banner up and your shop stocked.

  • Keep 90% of your stock related to your category(s).

  • If a member is offline for more than 30 days without waring or notice that they be kicked out of the mall.
  • Be aware of the upgrade goals and comments we list for each member. They can be found here

If a vendor fails to comply with any of these rules they may be given a warning but they can be dropped without notice for any reason, stated or not.
