I don't understand the user accounts here

When I signed up, it said "free gold" account. But then after I "registered" it said "free for 5 days." I don't consider that very professional.

I also, at the bottom of the pages, see those logged in, and they have many different levels (based on the colors, if I am not mistaken). But if I click on "upgrade" I'm presented with 2 options. Neither free, neither explained before I "registered." And really neither that attractive to someone like myself that comes to buy once in awhile.

There are no less than 4 other similiar forums on the net that I can search for domains to buy, all free. I see some of the same names here as I do there, so I don't see what benefit someone like myself gets for paying $50 to "join" this site. (especially since I mostly buy domains.) But in another 3 or 4 days, I'm going to be giving the boot here... Maybe that's the point. :undecided:

the same as free to platinum... $35. :cry:

That doesn't sound right
It is $50.95 from free to platinum
Maybe when you were a gold trial member, it displayed the price of upgrading from paid gold to paid platinum

oh right... like i said, i went straight to gold and didnt really have time to think about the other options, so i forgot the original price.

( I was never a gold trial member )

I was looking into upgrading to platinum, and the chart seems to show I should be abl eto do so for $36, but when I went to do it, it wants to charge me $50.95. Guess there is a bug somewhere?

I am unable to duplicate this issue. What page are you seeing this on and which button are you saying is doing this?

 

[theparrot]

I am seeing it when I click on the `membership upgrade' so I then goto I the chart, I see the button with the lower price for an upgrade from gold, but when I the click on the button the price is back to 50

 

[NETGEEK]

The buttons on the chart take you back to the same Membership Plan page. I am going to the page shown below, logged in with your same status and all seems to be fine to upgrade for $35 through paypal, credit card or dnf$. I may have over looked a value somewhere so was wondering if anyone else is having this issue?

just a suggestion, maybe the price converts when it comes to an ebay payment screen, which you may have overlooked. this is probably the most important part of the process.

Well, I clicked on this link and I see the $35 price now....

 

[theparrot]

Also, went and clicked on it at the top and also see $35, very strange if you did not change anything.

You are correct, it was fixed by someone else here that's why I couldn't find the issue. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for bringing it to our attention.
