interesting thing keeps happening

Submitted by rein on Thu, 22/04/2010 - 5:42am
for about a week now, i accidentally over price an item you know how you hit too many zeros sometimes. well it seems that people now think its important to neomail me and tell me i have an over priced item in my shop. it seems that with in an hour of receiving this neo mail the item in my shop will be priced at 0 instead of the price i had it at. I change my pw everyday as well as my pin and dont repeat numbers. so is this just coincidental or should i be worried? you in put would be most appreciated.

I'm not exactly sure how that can be happening. As far as I know, you can't price an item at zero. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=atlantissix

Your items are at 0 when you put them in your shop before you price them. Items priced at 0 do not show up on your shop front. My guess is that they reported you and tnt just went and changed it to zero so a noob wouldn't buy your 9,000np item for 90,000np. BUT I didn't think that'd ever happen, ever. It just makes the most sense to what happened in my mind as I can't come up with another explanation.

If they do police shops-it is no wonder multiplayer games like Geos and stuff like Castle Battles haven't worked in over a year. :( http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=atlantissix

Wow I have never heard of that happening:o I should think we would be able to price things as we see fit. I've seen shops where people will price junk items for far more then they are worth & have a blog at the top asking that you buy more to support their fund for a paint brush etc. If it were me I'd be writing TNT!

If they policed shops like that, then there wouldn't be malls.

No, i've never heard of tnt doing that *unsure* Sounds fishy to me.

Me either and I know of some kids that think that this is all right even though I have explained proper shop pricing to them to help them out, the really young ones, they do not seem to give a rat's Patuty! If TNT is watching this it is a brand new issue that we should keep an eye on within our malls, if managing or owning so we do not loose good shopkeepers to typos Suz --------------------- Best Priced Malls Toys, Plushies, Usuki's, Paintbrush's, Job Coupons, & Morphing Potions http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=suzierainbow

I cannot see TNT altering prices like that. I've always got overpriced items in my shop (most waiting for inflation), but there's one set up for NB fees. You know; charging 40k for a junk item. TNT don't do anything about this. But then I've never had someone message me to complain about it either; so there's a chance that TNT just haven't seen it. In any case, I think changing your password every day is a bit much... Not sure if that level of attention is needed. I may change my password if I visit an off-site neopets related website that seems dodgy... but otherwise I don't often change it.

I can't say I'm 100% but I'm 99.99% sure that TNT does not do this. Even when they clear your shop description your prices stay so why would this be happening. When items are added to your shop, they are automatically at 0 NP but they will not be at your shop front and items cannot be bought for 0 NP. Oh and yes, you should be worried. - - - - - x - - - - - x - - - - - x - - - - - x - - - - - My user lookup - vw1282 http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=vw1282 Check out my (toy) shop and gallery while you're there!

I had a dream about this last night lol. Items in my shop were priced at 0 and before I could remove them they were gone *lol* It's sad when you have dreams about neo...
