The Fee hurts frequent linden buys who are premium users

Please, everyone! @SaaiYu is right. If you buy small amounts of $L frequently, the higher fees ARE going to impact you.

Please, Saaiyu! Everyone else is right, too. If you buy the same amount of $L, but just do it once a month in a large purchase, you'll feel the pain much less.

Maybe.  If you pretty much always buy US $19.87 worth of L$ at a time, then you are not impacted. You are already paying $1.49 per buy -- which is 7.5% or more, depending on exactly how much or little US $.

The increased fee impacts everyone spending more than US $19.87 on a buy transaction.

And not nearly as badly as some might think.

That $50 I mentioned earlier (or was it in the other thread)? That is after the fee - in other words I have always factored the fees into the purchase itself.

Funnily enough, it didn't make much of a difference whatsoever this month. A few L$ less but not so much as to be an issue.

ETA: My parcel rent isn't even affected that much either - twenty cents more in fees. Said rent is also factored into the above amount.

   On the bright side, I've learned to really appreciate the weekend sale events and reduced my SL spending by a ton. So, a lot less money spent on SL overall. Thank you, LL!

Wow -- US $3,500 = roughly 840,000 L$, for shopping, per month.  I truly can't even imagine.

Yeah that's a bit much shopping I know last month after the increases I did a bit more spending than usual but I had the extra funds and was working on building up a roleplay sim for me and others to enjoy. I think I only went up to 340 bucks at max but even know with the linden prices going up I am limiting my spending on SL.
