I'm going to be closing replies so I can take some time to rework my listings. The attention this has gotten is overwhelming as I expected no one would hear me complain into the void. Thank you everyone for your input.
@BugStickerz Ahhh I misunderstood what you were suggesting. I thought you were saying to offer something small for the $5 then offer to remove it for them in their order and it had me so confused how that made more sense. That's on me for misunderstanding <3
@Lizzisalizard At the time it was the lowest I could go and I thought a $5 overhead was fair if someone wanted something small like any of the model's accessories. I have since learned this is not the case.
@MondrianPuppy@BugStickerz You suggested I merge all of my listings into one custom inquiry. The list of add-ons alone would be so long between all the models. I see where you're coming from but that also strips away any announcements of me opening my commissions, or setting waitlists easily.
@MondrianPuppy@BugStickerz I am open to suggestions, genuinely. But it doesn't feel productive to pretend to be on board with every suggestion if I don't agree with it. I do want a better system, but I also want one that makes sense to me and works smoothly.
@_CyberLovely I genuinely thought it was better than having people pay a massive overhead for an add on they might not want. Not everyone wants the same things out of a retexture service.
@BugStickerz I do understand what you’re suggesting. I just feel that’s an unnecessary step? I understand that by VGen rules (which I hadn’t known about until the comments on this post) the step is required. But it just feels so… idk… clunky
@MondrianPuppy I do love this idea and if I only did one model I would absolutely use this. I worry it would get messy between Floof and Midnight alone. Not to mention I have plans on adding MOU, LizMeta, Shonen and Yiota soon.
@MondrianPuppy The first one was a joke which fair. On me for not using a tone tag to indicate I wasn’t being serious. But the 2nd is genuinely how I feel. Why would I take an order where I don’t have direction on what they want me to do? I feel like it’s better to not accept the order?
@Sareniia I have it set up this way so people can select what they actually want without having to pay a large overhead for something they don’t want. I look at this listing more like a menu of items where people can mix and match for their package
@AhNaooOliver They are listed as add-ons though, with prices listed. They have their own section and everything. The listing even starts with a section explaining that they should use the add-ons to build their package for their retexture.
@Eyeziaa And the prices change from accessory to accessory. How to I accommodate the person who wants an outfit, hair, skin, and multiple accessories while also accommodating someone else who wants just a skin retexture?
@Eyeziaa That base price changes from person to person though. I genuinely know no other way to accommodate both the people who want accessories and the ones who don’t. If someone only wants an outfit, their base is $100, if someone only wants an accessory, it’s $15. Some people want both
@kimithepumpkin Probably nothing because I wouldn’t accept that order to begin with. This is for a retexturing service so by not selecting the add-ons I have no way of knowing what they want me to retexture.
@LilNarwhal97 The only reason I don’t do that is because not everyone is going to order that specific add-on. It’s a boba cup retexture for that specific model. It doesn’t make sense to make everyone pay for the boba cup if they don’t want it and only came to me for an outfit retexture.
