Shop!
A
shoppers must know guide
IMVU
has two types of currency Promotional Credits and Credits.
Promotional
Credits:
Promo Credits, sometimes referred to as Predits or Fredits,
are credits given by IMVU for starting your account, invite
bonuses, browsing new products, playing the spinner game,
etc. PromotionalCredits
have restrictions on their use. You cannot give away, or
buy gifts with Promotional Credits. Promotional Credits
can only be used for purchasing items for yourself .
Credits:
Credits are currency that was purchased from IMVU, a credit
reseller or given to you by another user. Credits have no
restrictions on their use.
Clothing
on IMVU works by replacing body parts. Because if this not
all products will work together. If both items replace the
same body part you can only wear one of the items.
The
‘Try
it Pass’ is your best defense on knowing what
clothing will be compatible with what.
Animations
on IMVU override one another, If you are using a room
with a custom seat and you are wearing an item or avatar
that has built in animations that animation will override
the seat pose.
Don’t
forget to review your purchases! Developers are Artists
and by definition narcissistic ;) .
Reviews
let other shoppers know if the product is good or not. They
also let the developers know how a product is being received
and have a big influence on what path the developer will
take their product line in the future. Tell em love it and
they’ll make more!
Don’t
le the fact that a product has no reviews or that it already
as a bazillion of them dissuade you! get out there and review!!!
IMVU
catalog is chock full of illegal products. These products
do not belong on IMVU nor should you buy them. In purchasing
an Illegal product you run the risk of loosing that item
if and when it is removed from the catalog.
How
to Spot an illegal product...
Uses
a brand name or logo. (Nike, Addidas, Channel, DKNY, Coke,
Nintendo)
Uses
music logos or images of signed recording artists. (much
of music products on IMVU are Illegal copies.)
Stickers
of Famous people or characters.
Replicates
a popular character from TV, Film, Anime.
Racy clothes,
poses, furnature and Access Pass products
Many developers ignore the Access Pass guidelines and just
because a developer puts an item in a part of the catalog
does not mean it should be there nor guarantees it will be
there tomorrow.
If
you are not a Pass Holder...
Purchasing
racy item that is marked General Audience is no guarantee
that it will remain in General Audience and you will NOT get
a refund from IMVU if the product is moved to Access Pass
use only. If you try on the item with your default IMVU skin
and can see the fig leaves that are covering your privates
it will be moved.
If
you are a Pass Holder...
The
Access Pass only covers a limited range of racy goods. Outright
sexual content is NOT allowed on IMVU. If you purchase a product,
even as a Pass holder, that is more than just racy you run
the risk of that product being removed. IMVU will not refund
your purchase for items deemed too adult for IMVU.
