Thanks Jen,
Yes, that is what I meant exactly - I was wondering if the scheduler had the option to increase or decrease pay rates.
I did notify them and the answer was:
"We have adjusted our fee based on the influx of shoppers in the area. If the shop is not claimed for this fee, we will increase it."
So I guess they are saying there are so many shoppers in Roanoke, VA (Population 96,719)- and surrounding areas (say 30-40 miles) is much less.
BTW, I do like STN and have no other complains. :+)
