Entrecard Difficult To Maneuver With New EC Transfer Limits
|
|
Entrecard has setup a 1,000 EC per week Tranfer limit which makes it hard to pay people when they offer to host your logo on their site for 500 EC’s per week. How can you pay more than 2 people to host your site logo at that rate?
That plus, you can’t run a contest as I am trying to do with Wanderer Thoughts. Where I am giving away a grand prize of 1,000 EC’s. This limit applies to your whole account, so if you have 4 blogs linked on your Entrecard account, all 4 blogs are limited to the same 1,000 EC transfer limit. Each blog should have its own limit I would think.
You also pay a penalty when transfering EC’s to another user, or to your own blog that is linked. I found this out the hard way when transfering credits from my Dragon Blogger to my JustinGermino.com and paid a hefty 187 EC transfer fee just to move my credits around between my blog. 187 drops wasted, that is like 15 minutes of time lost just to move my EC’s around between my own linked blogs.
This was a disturbing and difficult change to work around with Entrecard, how do they expect and allow users to accept EC as payment, when the transfer fee prevents users from paying multiple fee’s. With 4 linked blogs, I now accumulate easily 1500 ECs every 3 or 4 days, and They need to increase the transfer limit in my opinion.

Justin, you are restating all my same issues.
the tax to transfer is just plain unfair.
this one change made me remove 3 of my 5 blogs from ec
because you can’t use your credits; if your being restricted
by stupidity such a a tax on a non tangable item.
purely stupid – and even graham knows it.
Isn’t the tax there to make it a bit more difficult to move points to one out of the 4 (or how many) sites you have…??
Some people really use 3 sites to make points – and move those over to one….. and buy expensive ads (which will also give more traffic)….
And in real economy tax is also an issue…. – people say always to high….. and…. still such a “real economy” goes bankrupt….. (see USA) uh… maybe the tax where too low…??
Personally I do not have problems with those tax rates….. (seems that I am almost the only one in Entrecard world….)
If you use points for prices etc; you can also put
1,500 EC points (= 1,333 EC points ex.tax)
My problem really isn’t with the tax rate as much as it is with the 1,000 EC per week transfer limit. Many blogs allow EC as payment to advertise your logo on their blog. I have 4 blogs, if I wanted to pay 2 sites 500 EC’s for 1 weeks advertising, I would have to transfer 2,000 EC’s, I can’t do this but 1,000 this week and 1,000 next week. Meanwhile, I am trying to have Contests where I give away EC’s to the winner, and that counts against my weekly limit as well.
I don’t mind the tax, if they raised the limit to 1,000 EC’s per blog, or increased the limit to maybe 4000 EC’s total per week. Think about it, some of the popular blogs can earn 4000+ EC’s per day just by one advertiser paying their blog. yet they can only xfer 1000 EC’s out.
How can Joe’s Tech pay out all the EC from the slot game, with the new limits?
