WHO: Samagthrav2 , Samagthrav3

WHERE: FurAffinity --> http://www.furaffinity.net/user/samagthrav2/ and http://www.furaffinity.net/user/samagthrav3 Both are his accounts.

WHAT: YCH auction I hosted.

WHEN: 2/1/2014 - 2/4/2014

EXPLAIN: I was hosting a $5 YCH auction a few days ago that ended 2/3/2014. I still have it posted up and you can see it on my FA is need be (WARNING IT IS NSFW!) On my submission, I posted a set of rules, as follows:

"YCH Spot is the male colored in blue! Picture will start off as a sketch, but if it goes past $25 dollars, i'll color it. If it goes past $50, i'll shade it and maybe even throw in a snazzy background!

YCH auction will be ending 2/3/2014 at 12 noon, Central US Time!

Be sure to read all the Rules and Info and details here! There's important stuff ya should know before bidding.


> Starting bid as well as all following bids are a minimum of $5
> Male only
> No cub/female/herm/shemale/baby/infant
> PLEASE Bid with confidence! Don't bid, then suddenly change your mind later. Serious bidders only!
> Reply in designated area below with your bid. If you want to outbid someone else, reply to THEM. Failure to do so will mean disqualification from YCH. Be fair with each other.
> Be nice to each other, have fun, and good luck! (To be sure you read this all, say "Boy Toy" in your reply if you are bidding. If you don't, your bid will be null and void until you've read the rules first. You only need to say it once!) "

Samagthrav2 made a $50 dollar bid. When the auction was over, he was the highest bidder and won. When I asked which character he wanted me to use, He said "I wasn't being serious about that bid! :D"
..and that was the last I heard from him.

Needless to say, if you host YCH auctions, beware of this guy and his alt account. He'll bid falsely on your auction and withdraw in the end.

TEN POINTS?!

... and people try to look at me funny when I state I highly dislike their point system.

On top of that if you use your commission widget they take like half of the points you earn or something. it's like 80 points for a dollar but with the widget its 100 points for a dollar if you buy a commission but you get less points if you buy directly from DA ?

[exo-formicidae.livejournal.com]

they take 20% yes. I dunno, for "advertising" or letting you use the widget or something. That is why many ask people to commission them through notes instead. Also I'm not sure if DA have the ability to transfer points back to $/paypal, but I think they wanted a fee for that too.

I do believe they wanted a fee to cover converting points over to PP. But I don't remember them taking anything if everything stayed as points, even using that stupid commission widget. I see that thing sometimes pop up in my messages from people I watch, and I get very sad. I also believe there is (or was) a cap on how much you could charge using the widget. I can't remember the exact amount, but I think it was less than $100.

They also hold the points and or money for like 20 days or something.
