Why do I have to pay platinum vip to keep my shop visible in the catalog, but it used to be a one-time purchase?

This doesn’t seem right, for the longest time I wanted to be a creator to make money on imvu & create awesome clothes for ppl to wear.


It never used to be a requirement to pay every single month so your shop can stay visible?


Yes, veteran creators have “the equivalent of platinum vip” but they only paid for it once!!!

Their shop never has any chance of disappearing!!

They could drop off the face of the earth for 5 years, come back & their shop would still be up! Nothing to worry about.


It seems to be such a capitalistic move on IMVU’s part to make me pay not only to be paid, but for my products to even show up in the catalog.


If I knew I had to pay the whole time, I wouldn’t have gotten vip to begin with. I might’ve just got gold, but now if my shop takes off- I have to pay $15 every month to receive anything I earn or for my friends to wear anything they bought.

Let Me Put It This Way??

The Mobile Market Is A Mess, & Mobile Users Aren't Happy,
The Desktop Users Just Want Desktop To Stay Desktop, But Staff Doesn't,
& The Veterans That Have Been Grandfathered Into The System Are All Being Driven Away...

New Users Are Driving To Spend Money On Everything 20 Times,
For Every Thing They Own On The Platform...

Above All, Everyone's Account Is Being Stolen By The Staff,
Who Just Expects Everyone To Pay More On New Accounts...
& If Anyone Remotely Complains At All??

The Staff Quit Supporting Their Support Line, ~__~

Do You Really Want To Become A Creator Now After Hearing All This??
--- Cause Even Veterans & Newbies All Equally Are Wanting To Leave, o_____O



I Don't Even Know, Nor Understand What Their Audience Is Anymore,
Who Their Catering To, & What They Even Want...

I Just Know Everyone Wants To Leave...

My Account Has Had The Worst Overall Activity From The Staff Ever,
When I Haven't Even Done Anything Wrong, They Are Targeting Me
Like Some Kind Of Person Who They Want To Hurt, Or Something...

Their Attitude Is All Of A Sudden Completely Rotten To It's Core Out Of Nowhere, ~_~

This Isn't Something New, It's Been Going On For 15 Years Or Something,
Some People Are Just Fed Up With This BS & This Attitude By Them...
& Have Overall Just Had Enough, & Want To Get Out, o___O

It's unfortunate, but it's what what imvu has decided. I joined after they killed VIP as a one-time purchase and turned it into monthly, but I have known some who have that legacy VIP, and then lost it when they came up with the new tier system. Now they grumble about having to pay monthly or yearly to keep their shop. 


I guess for me, it doesn't bother me as much because I've never known the other way. I can give sympathy though for what happened to all the legacies. However, I could also imagine that there's been many of those legacy VIPs that put stuff in the shop, and then just stopped coming on, and now the shop is full of stuff. That's many years old and crowding out newer items coming in. This is part of why I believe imvu killing inactive accounts and requiring the VIP outside of the money grab aspect.
