LAST UPDATE: [12/21/09]

1. Purchase Limit
You can only purchase one of the items listed in the shop at a time (excluding platinum cards, in which you may purchase with any other item). You must wait 14 days between purchases. However, you can refer to the Package section and get mulitiple items with one purchase.

2. Confirmation
Do not REP me and expect that you have made a purchase. Purchases are only made after I've confirmed it via private message. Otherwise your REP will not have counted towards your request. Requests that are not confirmed occured most likely because your request was not in a legitimate format.
(i.e. naruto avatar please.)

3. Customer Satisfaction
I will never ask a member of the forums to REP me before they get their request. You will be able to fully review your request and make any changes before having to REP me. I guarentee 100% Customer Satisfaction. If you don't like it, I'll make it better, and I won't stop until I do!

4. Payment-Assist
Payment-assisting is an alternate payment plan for those who cannot pay the total amount of REP, in which the customer may find as many as 1 willing member to aid them in paying the total cost of REP. This means that either your assisting member REPs me for the total cost, or both of you combined REP me for the total cost. To confirm a payment assist, you as the customer must post that you are doing so, and your assisting member must also post making the final confirmation. Both members' names will be included in the 'Confirmed Requests (QUEUE)'.

5. Upgrading
If you would like to upgrade your avatar, signature, or platinum card you would need to look at the "SD" (Significant Digit) of the avatar/signature, AND the "SD" of the Upgrade you wish to select. Combine both SDs together and the total number would be how much rep you would need to give, in order to make that transaction.
(i.e. Avatar (SD=7) + Animation Upgrade (SD=5) = 12 REP Power)

6. Default Actions
If you do not provide enough information on exactly what you want in your request, I will make up, for example, what size your image will be. So please make sure you include everything you want in your request!

Gift Cards are the perfect gift for someone on the forums.

REP Power to Credits
Buying a Gift Card enables you to convert your REP Power into store credits in which can be used by another member of the forums, not you!

Credits are different from REP Power because it allows the user to make purchases and make assist-payments without ever being placed on the Waiting List. Also, the credits can even be added to the Donation Box or REP Pool directly!

What do they get?

• All of your REP Power is converted into "credits".
• Gift Card can be placed in their signatures to keep track of their credits (optional).

What do you get?

• You must wait 4 weeks before making requests, making assist-payments. However, you can still update Platinum Cards/iCards!
• Half of your REP Power goes to either the Donation Box or REP Pool.
• The icon will appear beside your name on the Saves' Shop to present to others of your kindness.

UPGRADES

To upgrade an Avatar, Signature, or Platinum Card, look for the SD (Significant Digit) and add it to the SD on one of the Upgrades that you've selected below. That total will be how much REP you would need to give in order to make that transaction.
(i.e. Avatar (SD=7) + Animation Upgrade (SD=5) = 12 REP Power)

You can only select 1 Upgrade.

Animation (Back-and-Forth) SD+10

Animation (Multi-Frames) SD+15
UNAVAILABLE FOR AVATARS

Animation (Extended) SD+20
UNAVAILABLE FOR AVATARS

Signiture Size Upgrade (500 width x 250 length pixels) SD+5
You are now given double the space in length.

PREMIUM Platinum Card SD+10
You can update your card at anytime for free! (Lifetime Subscription)

DONATIONS

A new system that gives members who can't give much REP, or any at all, an opportunity to purchase items from the shop with a higher value.

In order to MAKE a donation, you would need to first MAKE a purchase. The leftover REP that was not used towards the purchase, will be added directly towards the DONATION BOX for others to use.

You may only withdraw up to 5 REP out of the Donation Box.

A new system that collects and combines everyone's leftover REP. Once the REP POOL has reached its maximum capacity, this thread will unlock a poll, which will be used to vote for an upgrade that can be used towards everyone's advantage. For example: "Price Reduction".

In order to add REP towards the REP POOL, you would first need to MAKE a purchase. The leftover REP that was not used towards the purchase, will be added directly towards the REP POOL (or DONATION BOX).

How to use the FAQ
If you are looking for something in particular press CTRL+F and type in the keywords you are looking for. However, if there is a specific Question # you are looking for, press CTRL+F and type in the Question #.

_________________________________________________________________

Question #1
How do I make a request?
It's very simple, making a request here is just as easy as requesting it from another artist on this forums. Just with a few different elements you need to include.
Type - Avatar, Signature, Platinum Card, or iCard
Quality - Bronze, Silver, or Gold (only applies to Avatars and Signatures)
Upgrades - If you want to get some "extras" on your request, you can get upgrades. This is really easy to do, simply take the SD# beside your request and add it to the SD# on the upgrade you like. This is how you determine the total cost for an upgrade.

Question #2
What is REP Power?
REP Power is how much REP you can give to someone. Your REP Power can be found under your Avatar and below your REP. This (REP Power) is what I ask for when making a request.

Question #3
How much do I have to pay you?
It depends on what you want. For example, if you choose an Avatar with Bronze Quality, then the price would be (1-4 REP Power).

Question #4
When and How do I REP you?
Only REP me when you've recieved your request! Don't worry I will tell you when to REP me via Personal Message (PM).
To REP me, first find a post that I've made, goto the very bottom of it and look to the left. There should be an icon that looks like this . Click it and add the comment and hit ok. I normally tell you what to put in that comment space via PM, once I've confirmed it.

Question #5
How can I get more REP Power?
There are a lot of ways to get Rep Power. Here's a list that shows every way to get an extra point of REP Power:
● Your first 100 posts AND 50 REP = 1 REP Power
● For every 500 Posts = 1 REP Power
● For every 100 REP = 1 REP Power
● For every 90 days = 1 REP Power

Question #6
Why can't we put iCards in our signatures?
PS3trophies.com is under strict enforcment of the Signature Size Limits. The maximum size limit is 100kb and 500x250px, and the iCard is way above the 100kb limit. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Question #7
Why is your name so gay?
It's not.

Question #8
Why hasn't my request been made yet? Did you forget?
I haven't made it most likey because of other things that or going on in my life. Or, perhaps I am working on someone else's request. Sometimes I like to work out of order, so please don't feel offended when I do this. Also, no I did not forget, as long is your request has been posted in this thread your fine. Please refrain from posting "Where is my request?". If you are truely concerned message me via PM/VM.

Question #9
What are upgrades, and how do I use them?
Upgrades should be pretty much self-explanatory, but basically they are "perks" or "extras" that you can have applied to your request. For example, if you requested a Platinum Card and want to upgrade it you would add the SD numbers for both the Platinum Card and the Upgrade you chose. This will determine the cost. If you arn't fully understanding how it works please look at the Payment Policy.

Question #10
What are qualities?
Qualaties determine how well your images look. The qualities are broken up into three different levels, in which you should already be familiar with:
● Bronze
● Silver
● Gold
Bronze being the worst, and of course Gold being the best. So if you requested a Gold Signature it would look very good, as opposed to a Bronze Signature.

Question #11
Why can't we have our Platinums in ABC order?
This is simply because it to too much work to rearrange your Platinums everytime you update. It would be a lot easier to add your newest Platinum to the end.

As for the iCard, it would be a lot more difficult because when you get a new platinum I would have to add the platinum in the middle of the iCard rather than in the end.
Animations work with frames. So if I add your new platinum in the middle of all your other platinums I will have to basically make you a brand new iCard from scratch. Way too much time is already placed into a single iCard. Just put them in the order you like so that everytime you update all I have to is add the new platinum at the end of the list.

Question #12
Why are you charging REP?
Think of it more like a fair trade. The Saves' Shop and its system is a creative way to distribute graphics to the fellow forum members. Also, another reason why I've added this system is to filter out some request so that I wouldn't have to much. Keep in mind that there are many other great graphic artist on this forums so if you don't like my system you can definitely go to them. Just keep all negative comments out of this thread.

Question #13
When is the letter 'e' going to be fixed on the Saves' Shop Banner?
When I get enough REP to pay for it.

No, you don't remember correctly. If you read the op, you'll see that he links you to the Rep Guide, which shows you how to calculate how much rep you can give.

Here's for those who can't read or are too lazy to read.

• For every 90 days, 1 point of reputation-altering power is gained.
• For every 500 posts, 1 point of reputation-altering power is gained.
• For every 100 points of reputation, 1 point of reputation-altering power is gained.
• A user must have 50 points to give positive reputation, otherwise it'll be neutral.
• A user must have 100 posts before their reputation hits count on others

[X-MiracleWhip-X]

If you can, I would like a gold avatar please. I have no specific request so, surprise me?

[Curse]

Hey i've just been looking at some of your work and it looks great! I'd like to request a new avatar...

1. Silver quality
2. 120x120
3. Call Of Duty Modern warfare 2. Basically i want a dark image of an m4 carbine (Preferably taken from the game if that isn't too much to ask) going diagonally across the avatar, starting bottom left going to top right. A background related to mw2 which is green, i'd like the lines you used on the silver avatar example (dunno what they're called) to be used on mine too Want it to match the theme(s) presented by modern warfare 2. Hope this wasn't to in-debt
4. No preference on what font, but i'd like to have "CommandoCurse" diagonally above the gun going in the same direction, maybe in white or something that stands out.
5. Basically just artistically interpret my ideas above as much as possible for a silver avatar

I've worked out that i'll be giving 7 rep by the time i'll be repping you.

Expect it to be done soon ! And noo don't worry about it, I love when people get into depth. That way I feel more comfortable while I'm making it.

My friend and I are creating a trophy guide and we'd like a banner for it, as well as maybe matching signatures (basically just resized versions of the banner). Which category would this fall into/how much would it cost? If we can come to an arrangement I could pass along the information/requested features

----------

Additionally, just as a question - would it be possible to rep you multiple times over the course of, say, a week, as payment? Say somebody wanted a gold avatar but only gave out 7 rep, could they rep you twice before you gave them their avatar?

Hmm, yes I guess we can work things out
I'll send you a PM so we can discuss this more.

But that's a very good question ! I did not think about that. But I would say yes that should be acceptable. I'll add that in my Payment Policy too. Thanks for mentioning that.

No you can only give out 1 REP. However, you are still eligible request stuff from my store, such as the Bronze Avatar.

Originally Posted by Welshmoose05

That is one of my payment options, which is called a Package Deal. Where you would get a bronze avatar and a sig. However you would need to give out at least 6 REP.

So you can only purchase either an avatar or a sig. However, after you purchase a avatar or sig, you can wait 14 days and purchase something else.

I have it in my policy:

1. Purchase limit
You can only purchase one of the items listed in the shop at a time. (You must wait 14 days between purchases). However, you can refer to the Package section and get mulitiple items with one purchase.

Sounds good to me - will we be able to use it before it's fully paid, though? because it will take a little while in between payments.

Will the signatures be done too, or just the banners?
