Featured sets no updates
-
I hope the site doesn't ignore the features already here. It's sad that it's like this. I haven't even seen an update regarding what's going on. I feel abandoned. This site is amazing but, they keep neglecting parts of the site.
Would love to be kept in the loop rather than silence. -
@fashionmonkey I don't care for "surprises". Not if rest of site goes on stand still. keep features working and if you (site owners) can't then don't add new stuff. It's just that simple. If the site is appearing broken in areas, people could get turned off from using it.

@DotingSage @mayblooms @greta-martin @FashionMonkey @Ollie @debraelizabeth @Shoaleh-Nia and all: I am a little confused regarding Urstyle and this Patreon, which is located in San Francisco. I thought that my contribution to Urstyle was to support them in aiding the site. Now I find out that my contribution which is $25 a month shows as Patreon on my credit card statement. What am I supposed to get for this contribution? I wanted it to go to benefit Urstyle. Something seems a little strange to me. I have done some Googling on this and I am not sure how this helps Urstyle if it is going to Patreon. Can anyone answer my concerns. https://www.patreon.com/urstyle/posts Also, read this: https://www.thestreet.com/lifestyle/what-is-patreon-14865916 I would greatly appreciate any information. WOW!!!!! https://www.consumeraffairs.com/business/patreon.html

@beverly It is my understanding that Patreon is just the middleman that Urstyle has chosen to gather the contribution funds for them. The monthly contributions are going to Urstyle but though Patreon, and of course Patreon takes it's cut for the transaction.
-
@FashionMonkey ~ Google is filled with scam information about this company. I want nothing to do with them. I have called my Chase Bank to file a report. They will take care of it for me. It is not right. I feel like I have been used by Urstyle or Patreon. Not sure if you clicked on any of the links above. The last link tells it all. Thank you for your response. Hugs xx
-
@beverly Yes I did click on all the links including the last one. This is why I rarely sign up for monthly donations. It can be a struggle with some to get out of it unless you have a cooperative bank. I'm wondering why Urstyle no longer has a donation link on the website?
-
@beverly I would not bother paying for the site tbh. It's a bit strange if it's not coming up as statement
-
@beverly I think your point is very valid. It would be interesting to know just how much of a cut Patreon do take out of our donations to Urstyle as they are obviously the middle man. Another question for admin @admin to answer please. Further, at https://www.patreon.com/urstyle there is no info on how to stop deductions but it does say below, so I guess there is a way, however I would like to know a bit more before I did that.
CAN I CANCEL MY PLEDGE ANY TIME?
Yes, you can easily cancel or upgrade your pledge at any time! -
@Beverly @FashionMonkey @DotingSage Thank you so much for sharing your information regarding donations to Urstyle via Patreon

@Ollie @greta-martin ~ I am still very concerned regarding this Patreon, out of California. I do not like the fact that Urstyle did not inform us of the situation. One time, you could at least go in and donate on the Urstyle site. Once a month, Patreon uses my credit card. I never gave it to them, only Urstyle I thought would be the only ones. I have no idea how many members donate. After reading many articles on Google's, I do not understand how this scam works.....and that is exactly what it is!! I have a feeling that something has changed and it is not for the benefit of the members. This so called surprise that Urstyle has for us leaves many questions?? I am wondering if Patreon is taking over Urstyle.....hmmm! I will be glad to send the many links to read. Again, something is fishy. Thanks for your messages. Hugs xx

Patreon is a CROWDFUNDING PLATFORM that enables fans (or patrons) to pay and support entrepreneurs, companies, artists for their work. For producers of videos, webcomics, music, podcasts etc., Patreon is a way to earn extra money on what might otherwise be FREE CONTENT.
Patreon takes 5% of the amount paid to creators in fees. Creators keep some 90% of their revenues, with an additional 5% going to transaction fees.

URSTYLE currently has 10 patrons (see image below), I’m one of them. They CERTAINLY won’t be able to pay for the huge site expenses, and they definitely won’t get rich & run away to the Caribbean, with your small contribution. I’m not worried and IT’S NOT A SCAM. A lot of clever (some of them very famous) creators use Patreon & PayPal to receive funds.
It’s evident they are still updating the website, hence the constant clipper malfunctions & other glitches. As far as I know, they are a small team and have to make a living somewhere, if not here.

@jesuisunlapin ~ Maybe you should find out more. I refuse to donate $25 when it does not benefit Urstyle or me!! The patrons are members like me. I am one of the 10!
-
@jesuisunlapin Thanks for this information, it explains everything we need to know about it my dear .

@beverly best to buy their merch than do the monthly donation
-
@DotingSage ~ I only wanted to donate to Urstyle, not some company such as Patreon who are nothing but scammers, and Urstyle gets hardly any. Thanks for your concerns.
-
@beverly urstyle.com should do a crowd funding. Or do what YouTubers do and how companies sponsor them or do adverts via contests. Even if they asked people who have businesses on urstyle if they want to pay through PayPal to work with them and get advert.
-
@beverly Thank you for this info my dear ... i hope you can stop your monthly donation , everyone has the right to know what has happened with their payments and, if not satisfied, to stop it . Hugs my dear
