• The title is “Roadmap for Managing Freebies on Xstreet SL” but they’re not only the freebies, it’s everything!

• 0 L$ Items will be charged 99L$ Monthly
• 10L$ Will be charged for all items which cost more than 1L$
• A L$3 commission will raise the commission on all listings under L$50
• Freebies will be sorted different

All this things will came in 30-90 Days from now (18.11.09)

What do i think about this?

A Part of me thinks that this last change will completely crash XStreet, they completely removed the “Free” exposure people can get by listing they’re Items.

Some people just want to give out freebies without advertising they’re brand, and they will now have to pay 99L$ a month.

There are no demo policies that means that if you are a hair/skin maker you will have to decide whether you want to keep your demos at 0L$ and pay 99L$ for each one (ouch) or put them for sale at 1L$ and pay just 10L$ a month

What i Like

• I like this changes because many scammers which sell freebies for +10L$ amounts will probably quit doing that
• I like that it will/would remove a lot of crap from Xstreet
• I like that it will make shopping easier

What DON’T Like

• By removing crap, they’re removing a lot of possibilities for many starting merchants to even get a chance to be successful
• XStreet will loose even more traffic means that adds and featured listings will be even more pointless than now without the forums

What i will do

I will not sit and cry but i will have to delete probably 75% of my sale content and only leave 1 or 2 freebies which are worth to keep, i might move to Apez.biz or other sites which don’t charge for having your products on, any suggestions? leave a comment
