Hi: require your assistance. Hopefully you have this INK thing down, as I still have "credits"......trying to figure out the exchange rate so I can bid on your shoes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi! I wondered if anyone else was struggling with the INK, too! I've written for help and got good responses from one of the helpers.

Initially, I converted all my credits to INK & worried about paying people, too. The helper who wrote back to me indicated that if I had kept some of my credits, I could pay for an auction in credits and they would automatically be converted to the equivalent in INKs. I also read that in the pages they've posted about INK.

Still, I've been struggling with the amount I should ask when I list something in INKs! The problem is the "weight" of the currency: it took hundreds of thousands of credits to buy something (27500 credits = $1.) but it takes very little INKs to buy the same thing ($.14 in INK = $1. paper money). It's weird getting used to that!

How about if we both try this out? Hopefully, you'd win this and they'd automatically convert your payment to credits. I'd be glad to write to them & we have a problem with that. And I'd be willing to refund your "credits" if they can't be converted to INKs - or if there's any kind of snag that makes it really impossible for you to pay me after we (I) pursue resoling the problem?

I think they should have thought this through a lot more!

Thank you for your response. I am still thoroughly confused. I thought I would be brave and put in X amount of credits, yet the system reads those credits as INK and I no idea if my credits will match INK's worth. According to LISTIA's vague information all that is calculated at the end. Huh??? At best, Listia should of given us a simple guide of what one needs to bid in credits to match what the seller is asking. Happy to continue to try this out, yet curious to know with shipping would you be willing to ship in a USPS FREE Padded envelope, the shoes would fit perfectly, and it only costs $6.70 w/in the US for up to 70lbs?

Hi, I was thoroughly confused, too! To answer your next message first: I just won an auction and it was 499 credits. Since I have no credits left (I converted everything to INKs), I was wondering what would happen! Well, the seller was paid in INKs!

After struggling and struggling with the conversion rate, that transaction was the only thing that really helped, because it was actually calculating INKs and the equivalent in credits. So I've learned that:
.14 INKs = $1.
.13 INKs = 499 credits

So, to convert, knowing the value of credits and dollars and INKs becomes a lot easier. They should have provided this sort of thing to us.

I'll be glad to fit these into a USPS flat rate padded envelope but I want you to know the cost has gone up to $7.25 ;-(

I just put them into a flat rate padded envelope and they fit! I also weighed them and they're a little over a pound. If you live in the zip code zones 1 or 2, it's $7.10, which would cost even less. However, zip code zone 3 is $7.25 and zip code zones 4 through 9 go up higher. If you can tell me your zip code, I can let you know what the cost would be for you.

I think that covers it - thanks for reading all this!

PS. How did you convert some of your credits to INK?
