Let me introduce myself, I am one of the many shop owners on shapeways. Recently I got an email telling me that the prices of people's items will become "better". They said that they will be lowering prices for the most part in a week, however I check my models and the predicted prices were almost double! This is an absolute outrage, and I will have to close my shop down entirely, which will be a massive financial loss for me as well as other shapeways shop owners. This affects BUYERS AS WELL because they will have to pay way more for the same items. This could not be more unfair, and shapeways is taking EVERY CENT OF OUR PROFITS and making almost twice as much more money for themselves! I know I'm not the only person in the shapeways community affected. I worked hard to create my models on shapeways, and all of a sudden they give my one week to turn over ALL of my profits.

More on my story: I spent the whole summer designing miniature models that many of us bus lovers wanted, and I ended up with about 15 different models. In addition, I jeopardized my summer exam studies to devote hours to 3d modeling and give the community what they wanted. On top of that, I did some high-demand rapid transit models. Now i'm basically told that ALMOST ALL my stuff is unsellable just a month later. I don't see how anyone can call this fair, especially since there seems to be quite a scale model community on SW, who are probably designing similarly shaped models. The puzzle-designing community seems to be affected as well.
