How do I spend my points?

I saw that it takes 200 points to buy an Awareness Ribbon, took 200 points out of my bank, but it says I don't have enough points to buy one.

Help?!

It's 200 plus tax, apparently, so the actual cost is a little more than 200.

Strange but true

ETA: I want to know what happens with the tax? Does it go to the moderators as a 'virtual wage'? Or is it being used to fund a space exploration program or something? Points tax LOL

Sorry I find it quite amusing

Yep, they charge tax. I wonder if there is a virtual revenue service collecting it...

At least the bank pays interest!

perhaps the tax goes into the interest fund??

I have given up for now. I don't have time...the page isn't loading - the one that would show me the ribbons.

I will try again tonight.

I still haven't been able to buy any gifts, either my timing's wrong and I miss restocking, or I've just banked some and don't have enough left and don't want to just withdraw it all from the bank straight away! It's a tricky business getting the timing right

Epona, you need to have about 212 points not in the bank in order to buy something.


There is actually a payroll for paying members. We get paid weekly. Do you think we will have to file tax returns?

Since I don't even have a bank account let alone a credit card or paypal and so can't sign up to the premium membership, I find that idea amusing that you all are filing tax returns on your earned points (Politics of envy lol, it's a bad thing but I can't help myself *slaps wrist* )

The shop is stocked right now!
