Buyers, This issue does not involve you. However, if you're concerned, you can voice your distaste in the issue, or your support for the issue.
TLDR: Take a smaller cut of our sales pls. 33% too much.
The ratio of 1:3 for cashouts has gone on for quite a while. PC buyers may not feel the impact, but sellers who use this site really do feel it. We get 1 dollar for every 150 PC on the way out, and that money helps pay for the site. Now, it's been on this site for while, and I've been okay with it, but it means larger sales kind of get squandered for us. We have less motivation to make these sales because we know how much we're really going to make from them.
If a 10000 PC sale were made ($100 USD) We'd cash out and only get 66 dollars. The site takes a third of the money we earn. I understand that this site needs certain amounts of money to function at all, but our efforts kind of get wasted in all of this.
And I know that this site works as a very effective middleman as well. It's very safe to conduct transactions using a credit system with active moderators. That being said, the site does deserve some money. I just think 33% is too much.
Plus, paypal fees weigh in as well, and I know that it's not under your control, we get hit by that as well and end up making even less money than we've pooled our efforts into.
Going on....
I'd like to propose a slimmer cut on our cashouts, maybe to start, 120 pc to 1 dollar? That way, we could keep the minimum 1200 cashout, and you'd get about a 20% cut. I feel like you'd still earn enough to run the site, but we have no numbers at all so it'd be hard to know.
Thoughts pls. It'd also be nice if Dooly could shine a few numbers towards our way so we could work something out.
By numbers, I mean, profits made in a year, or total hosting costs. Stuff along those lines. Not total, disruptive transparency, but a bit of opacity to deter or justify my concern.
