got snagged by someone in my office sometime during the lockdown.
I went to the swag store to order a replacement, and got a colorful page devoid of products.
Was the store moved? I searched the forums to determine it's fate, but I haven't found any relevant information. I'd love to get some swag, especially that coffee cup. Hopefully someone on these forums can point me to a source.
I see the fees are a burden for volunteer-driven open source projects like yours. I have seen you are using Patreon and Paypal and know from own experience that they are subtracting massive fees as well (up to 30% if I recall that number correctly, it was quite extreme). This is hidden from the buyer/supporter.
So a mug that would cost $10 would need to be sold at $13 to even go down to 0/0 difference. This is crazy.
@dschaper Could we maybe get a page somewhere where the artwork used back then is downloadable? Maybe with some kind of access limitation to avoid third-party swagstores to show up and try to benefit?
Saying this (access-limiting) because I've seen "official Pi-hole kits" some time ago which were then again being shut down, I suspect they were trying to make money from the work you make available for free. That is an astonishing amount of unfairness.
Yes, we do pay a lot of fees. There's processing fees, currency conversion fees, payment fees. And the shop adds VAT/Taxes, shipping, production, time to run it...
Putting up the artwork sounds easy in concept but the levels that thieves and scammers will sink to is amazing when there is a money involved. And yes, we've had former partners flat out tell us they will continue to use us to make money and not pay us anything and there's nothing we can do or say to stop them.
