Do I get pins from patterns I uploaded?

Frangipane

Some patterns I uploaded have 3 downloads, but I didn't get any pins from them.

If I look at the pattern, it states that you need to pay 100 pins to get the pattern. Or how does this work?
(Wanted to send a mod a private message, but I can't because of my current level).

Some users can download and not pay, like moderators, to check the pdf is ok.

Moderators shouldn't need to download for free. I've not uploaded a lot, but don't you have to wait for the post to be approved before it's even available on the site? They should be checking the PDF's before they approve them.

And how will they check the PDF without downloading it?

mods always download to check the pattern is good. when paid, you will get 30% of pin price :)
