Coins removed?

Hello. Im new here so please forgive me. I have a question about gold coins. I had 110 gold coins left and bought a file that was only 5 coins. Now I have only 35 coins left. i dont mind earning points, but I literally paid for the gold coins I had with real money ($20). Is there a fee for looking at potential posts? Thanks! Annie

Hi Annie. You also need to remember that downloading a file costs 30 coins; a single file, so, if there were 2 zip archives, you paid 5 coins for one plus 60 coins for downloading both archives.

@Annie, There are many threads that are paid threads. This means there is the cost of say 5 coins to the member who shared the chart or pattern and then as akita said the site charges 30 coins for each download. If you provide a link to the thread where you downloaded from this would help with getting you a definite answer.

Hello.  Well, there is a... tax of 30% (!)  on the price you specify for each pattern you upload, hence the 35 (50 minus 30% tax = 35).  Now regarding the difference between downloads you get paid for and actual downloads of your upload, well thats another story.
