This evening we are releasing some of the announcements made in the blog post a few days back ( http://blog.booshies.com/?p=1215 ) – specifically in regards to the topics of Percent-Based Listing Fees & Trade Expiration. Thus, we have implemented these changes tonight in hopes to give you all a better experience! We also have a great announcement to make, and a free gift along with it.
The Changes
All new trades will be subject to the percent-based listing fees & trade expiration, and as such the defined new amounts are as follows:
New listing fee, applicable to all posts on the Trade House irregardless of price: 2.5%
- For most users and transactions, this amount is much less than before: 17B$ for a 700B$ transaction versus 100B$ under the current system.
- The price will be shown in the lower left hand corner before you post.
- Exception: The trade listing fee is 2.5% with a minimum of 1B$.
Trades will also now expire 3 days after being posted, and will be returned to you via mail.
- Existing trades will be marked as having been posted today, and so their 3 day timer begins now.
- Expired trades will be in your mailbox for 60 days before (like all returned mail) they are deleted.
Our hopes with these new adjustments are: that users will be more responsible with what they list and their quantities, that it will overall increase the value of Booshies as users wont attempt to circumvent the fees, and the existing item clutter for trades which have been there for weeks will be tidied up for a less laggy experience.
Further, we feel this will bring about a better stabilisation of prices as you wont see old listings which were posted at outrageous costs (Read more…)
