Message: <blockquote data-quote="jgbrowning" data-source="post: 3143107" data-attributes="member: 5724">It's something that I think would be a good idea. A weighted royalty would determine the amount of vendor fees I'm paying over all the sites currently. That number could remain constant during the merger—there's no need for an increase, nor a decrease.I'm paying 25% at one site and 35% at other. However the higher fee site only accounts for roughly 22% of my total sales volume. If I add everyone together and to do some math I'm really paying a (roughly) 27% vendor's fee to the site that sells my product per sale, regardless of what site sold it.I'd like to be charged a 27% vendor fee when the merger occurs. I'd be fine to pay a few points more (up to 2-3 or so) out of good faith that the new site is actually going to grow at a faster proprotional speed than the old sites did while independant.If a weighted fee happened, I wouldn't raise my PDF prices, I'd ride it out, trust in Steve and James to deliver their promised increase in sales and move on.I'm not given that option. I'm going to have to accept a 35% royalty rate on all my sales. I am not happy with that, and don't think it is beneficial to the publisher or the customers who buy PDF. It's only beneficial to the site owners. I'd like them to realize that we're business parters and that instead of it being an opportunity to move money from my pocket to theirs, they could view this as an opportunity to increase the money in all of our pockets by continuing the historical growth trends of both rpgnow.com and DTRPG and only increase my fees proportionate to the amount of additional benefits thay are bringing to the equation as opposed to the additional power they're bringing by owning 90% of the PDF market.joe b.</blockquote>
