Title: Poll: Should the shop have a "refund" system?
Post by: Nicoquin on October 21, 2009, 01:23:04 PM
hi guys !

what about selling the things bought and not used any more ?
i'm thinking to sex scenes, outfits ...

a good way to have $AChat again and not feeling bad with sex scene that we dislike after having tested it...

best regards,
Nicoquin

It would be great, yes... !

Or at least, it would be good to have a way to test the new positions before buying them... !

Good idea...but I *don't* think the guys are going to go for it.

You bought it, it's yours...no exchanges, no refunds  :P

Maybe selling items half the price.
That way you are not totaly refund ;)

haha, it would be nice, but I think thats not the way how things work in business. But a one time test (with robot or a real user) to evaluate new things should be possible und would be very nice.

Okay, this got me thinking so I wanted to put it to a vote. We've all bought something from the shop we wish we could get rid of (the worm, anyone?) Anyway, I was wondering if there should be some type of shop refund system.

Now, if this is implement, I personally wouldn't care if it was like the Monopoly mortgage thing (buy Boardwalk for $400, mortgage for $200).

Well, what does everyone else think?

I think the worm is a great example... a partial refund seems very appropriate..

Good question Apollo'

Especially since the display of the items is rather poor. You only know more or less what you are buying.. They would prevent a lot of refund (if this is installed) if they added a dress-up function in the shop. Where you could dress up your own avatar in 3d, to try on the new things you buy.
QWith poses the same, you only know what actions they have, áfter you bought it. What if you think it is the biggest loss on money ever? Could you get your money back?
Apollo, you're on a roll dude ;)

I agree, a try before you buy option would be nice.

Great suggestion, Apollo! And I light what Tight said too. An option to view the item on a larger 3d model or the option to return within a short duration if you are unhappy with how the item looks. Example for me would be "Faces." I had to buy a few ugly looking ones before I found the one I liked... now I got some scary-looking mugs and don't know what to do with them... TAKE THEM BACK!

Well, the 3D dress up wouldn't work as well for poses...though a short 15-60sec video per pose would be nice...but nice to see others support the idea overall....it seems we are divided mostly on how much to give back...the reason I suggested half price is so someone doesn't return a pose to buy another of the same price and keep going back and forth between poses (in other words, you still take some loss overall)

The idea is quite defendable.
While I think just pile up unused stuff, for sure I would understand full refund might not be appropriate (like irl...;-)
Instead of refund in money for i.e. half price, what about the possibility to exchange with a new shop item  ?

Post by: Janine Dee on July 21, 2011, 06:24:06 AM
Exchange would be a lot like a full refund, but half price would take a lot of the bite that comes from the buyers remorse that comes from those tiny little pictures looking good as tiny little pictures, but not when taken full size.

The dev team needs to design a sort of "virtual wardrobe" that lets you select all of the outfits from the shop just to see how they appear on your profile. Would be nice if this feature was accessible from the AChat game client. For the poses, how about a short 10 second video of the pose in action instead of a still picture?

I love the idea, but I hate to say I can't see it happening... they make money off oopses. I'm just hoping they might meet us half way and let us get half our money back from our oopses.

The least they could do is expand the description. Or add one in principal. Not just the title. Tell something about the pose, the actions. Or how the new outfit can be worn, show the back of it, etc..

I'd be happy if they did so, as i have a lot of stuff I never use but they'll never do it.

First because, as Janine said, they make money thanks to oopses and secondly, when you see that, for monthes, we asked to have specific stuff (especially decent male clothes) and we have been totally ignored showing the interest the dev-team has for their customers (and yes I'm pretty mad about them)

so am I. And I am considering strongly to abort the forum. Not because I am acting childish for not getting what I want (I have tried rolling on the floor, thumping it with my clenched fists), but because I don't feel heard at all. What's the point in saying you will take all suggestions into account and then throw them away laughing?
Maybe the sales numbers for banana hammocks are bigger as we suspect, still.. It has been abundently expressed that the male wardrobe sucks.. I even bought the golfing outfit so I could use some parts to add to the illusion of an RP. It it didn't work well!

*SIGH*

The Golf suit was at least a costume... this new add...

I am opting out of this discussion of refunds.. because I am not an impulse buyer...

I'm not an impulse buyer either. I might become one if I could get at least some of my investment back when somthing turns out to be less than I was hoping for.  ;)

I agree with a lot of the members views on this. I too have gear and poses that were not what I expected. Perhaps a description or video with robot girl and robot boy showing us whats on offer with the poses - my partner and I had a surprise with the Hotseat lol . We both burst out laughing and kind of spoilt the moment lol. Probably our fault for not checking properly - but a video would have negated this. A wardrobe for trying the gear on your avatar would be great  and seeing your avi against the backgrounds would be a plus.
A refund policy would be great, it would keep achat on the ball to look at members suggestions. Win / Win situation :)

Hiya's...

   I agree with everyone here also, and @ Brandybee even if they could just list the actions that are involved in the pose (on both sides) that would help make my decision to buy it easier an easier one. 

Thanks for letting me share,
Pafe
