Mod changing prices

Hsdhdsfl

I wonder why the mod changes the prices over the thread I make. I intentionally price out the lookbook too, since it's hard to get pts here. But the mod turned it into a rar file, and put it for 150 pts, and I have no where in the user group to put it on a higher price besides 150 pts :')

I know about that, I was talking about the mod merging the file together and changing the prices.  ...

My guess, as a mod: You can't charge for a lookbook because it has no patterns.
So I would put both files on a rar file, so that you get coins for both files and users are only charged once for the download.

It makes sense in my head.
Also, you are new here and do not know the rules yet. Mods are usually right ;)

You can't ask more than 150 pts because of your level:

Lv.0 max 150
Lv.1 max 150
Lv.2 max 150
Lv.3 max  200
Lv.4 max  250
Lv.5 max  300
Lv.6 max  333
Lv.7 max  333
Lv.8 max  333
Lv.9 max  333
Lv.10 max 333

Because members have to pay an extra tax to download each file, here is how I look at a thread with multiple pdfs. I ask myself some questions:
Are these files sold together as a bundle? Is the attached image for a bundle? Is this for a bounty that is specifically requesting the entire bundle? Are all the included pdfs sold individually or only in this specific bundle?

Also, if there are several pdf's, and the seller does not set a fee for downloading any of the pdf's, then putting them all in a single RAR file helps the buyers not have to pay so many site taxes.

So ask yourself, did the lookbook come with the pattern when purchased? Is the lookbook available separately from the designer? Is it free from the designer? You've already admitted to trying to make more money off of this thread by charging for both items separately. Threads containing only lookbooks get removed from the site, so lookbooks are not really a chargeable item as Pitussa said.

Also, the mod may have put both pdf's in a RAR file, and set the fee for the total amount you were charging 180. The site will readjust the price to 150 because you are only a Level 0 right now.

This is just one way of looking at it. Other members, the site, and other moderators may look at it differently.

I know about that, I was talking about the mod merging the file together and changing the prices. I was pricing the pattern for 150 and the lookbook for 30 points if I weren't mistaken but the mod changed it and it's only for 150 :'))


If it weren't hard to get pts, I would put it out for free also. But since Ik not anyone would bought the lookbook too, I just put the prices for extra earnings if someone also bought the lookbook.

Probably, that's why I asked cause I was confused. But it's weird too, since I've seen a ton of people pricing the lookbook almost the same price as the pattern too :"))

It's probably some kind of taxes, like the pts that were cut is for the website or something (?)
