raising your rates above 4.99
so I got streamate to let me raise my rates above 4.99 a minute. The problem is that once I lower it past any number between the new highest and 4.99 it won't let me raise it back up past the lower number that I set it at. Basically, I can't choose any option between 4.99-6.99 unless THEY reprogram my rate limit again. I emailed them about it but haven't heard back yet. Hm.
have any of you had this problem before? The only reason why this is a big deal is because I like to play with my rates a bit and generally like to have my exclusive rate as lower than my premium rate.
I also just think that we should be able to charge what we want without having to ask permission. OH WELL.
Re: raising your rates above 4.99
i've never had this problem - it sounds like a glitch. i got them to raise mine to 7.99 as my max but i've raised/lowered them a bunch of times between 3.99-5.99 and had no problems. definitely email them - hopefully they can fix it.
Re: raising your rates above 4.99
i have the same prob that LS has, i got them to raise mine above 4.99 but if i were to play with it and lower it than the number they gave me, it won't let me raise it with out having to ask them again. i don't think it was a glitch tho cuz when i asked support before to give me the rates above 4.99, he wanted to know exactly what i wanted it changed to. i wish it wasn't that way.
Re: raising your rates above 4.99

and hey damn 7.99 more like it !!!...LOVE THAT! hahaha
Re: raising your rates above 4.99
I would rather do exclusive because it starts billing right away, I don't have to worry about people jumping in and out and demanding me to do things while I'm having a show with another person and because it forces guys to either shit or get off the pot. If a guy is going back and forth on whether or not he wants to take me for a show and he gets kicked out of the room over and over again, he'll either take me for a show or just not bother coming back. As well, I find guys who go exclusive to be more polite.
I rarely get more than one person in premium so I don't care about maximizing on profits there. When a guy goes premium, I'm always suspicious for the first 30 seconds and then, once the show is going, I have guys jumping in and out through the thing. I can never get properly comfortable. So now I charge more for it and offer less in it.
Re: raising your rates above 4.99
also, they fixed it and now I can adjust my rates between 0,99 and 6.99. If a mod wants to close this thread please do!

NEGATIVE THEY STILL GET THE FREE 30 SECS
Re: raising your rates above 4.99
I'm getting approved for Streamate so thanks for this thread! I will set my exclusive cheaper than my premium for the 30 second rule. That would be sooo annoying to have guys jumping in and out for 30 seconds.
Re: raising your rates above 4.99
Is there a way to completely get rid of premium all together?
Re: raising your rates above 4.99
You can't turn premium chat off but you can turn off exclusive.
About the 30 second thing: It's not that they get the 1st 30 seconds free, it's that if they leave in less than 30 seconds they're not charged. So if they stay for 32 seconds they're charged for the first minute. Does that make sense?
Re: raising your rates above 4.99
it does make sense but the fact remains that if they leave within the first 30 seconds, they still got it for free :(
Re: raising your rates above 4.99
to accomodate that I don't show anything for the first 30 secs but it is very annoying when you are already doing a show and you get the 30 seconders popping in and out. I may consider doing this also
