Listing Fee Proposal Conrad500 16:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
I like the first example where listing gives your avatar more popularity on the new and hot. I also think that it should carry more weight and cost more.

Make 5 star ratings cost 10k or something, but have it carry a lot of weight on the new and hot listings. Nobody needs to rate their item 5 stars, if they choose to they should have a good reason, either its worth the money, and having it on the front page will help get more sales, thus needing not worry about the list cost!

Template: 1 star 100 coins(+0 points), 2 stars 500 coins(+1 point), 3 stars 1000 coins(+2 points), 4 stars 5000 coins(+3 points), 5 stars 10000 coins(+5 points)
 * 1) stars - min list price/fee (+new and hot points)

or even more. I'd like to make a 5 star rating be like, "1 bar list fee (+10 points)(10000 min list price)" since nobody has any reason to rate their own work 5 stars if they don't think they can make the 10k back. If you're making it to be cheap then you'll have to sacrifice on the rating. Low prices are attractive even if they aren't on the new and hot list, however the expensive avatars need it to get awareness and sales.

Also the creator's rating should count forever(in ratings, not for new and hot) at it's boosted amount.

Creator's listing should be the FINAL minimum price. People rating it up should not raise it. That encourages people to rate low to pay cheap and then use alt accounts to rate it up. People shouldn't be forced to charge more because their avatars are successful. It's almost like they're being punished for making a popular avatar.
