Rules
Please be advised that unless you can provide a valid crystal check link, all pets will be judged and processed by current crystal check standards.
This has always been the case, but I've had an increasing number of rejections and resubmission of grandfathered pets, and wanted to nudge this back into memory as it not only helps me, but helps you get your customs back faster.
I would also like to remind everyone that linking previously created pets - especially those with no origin field - is not considered as proof of a design's eligibility to be made due to situations such as the December queue push.
Thank you for your time =)

USD Shop Updates
Site Update
The USD Shop has gotten a lot of much-needed updates! First, if you visit the shop, you'll see that all the items are sorted into categories now. That makes it easier for newbies to understand what items do what, and makes it look less like a mess.
Second, the first wave of SCC Makers has arrived in the USD Shop! These are SCC bases that were submitted to the SCC thread posted a couple of days ago. Like the other SCC makers in the shop, they allow for 50% edits if desired.
Artists whose bases were chosen this round will soon be getting a link so they can monitor their sales!
Feel free to continue submitting bases, and we'll select another round of SCC bases in about a month.
The Holiday Fertility Potion that was requested a few weeks ago has been added as well! It adds an additional offspring to a Holiday Breeding Coin breeding, as well as allows the breeder to determine which common/uncommon bases they want the breeding to yield.
Last but not least, if you purchase a USD SCC Item like the above, you may add this item to your cart to go along with it. It is a discounted ($5.00) Metal Design Ticket. That way, you can enjoy having your pet right away by asking the MDT team to color it!
Bear in mind that this item MUST be purchased along with a USD SCC item! It cannot be bought alone. It is an add-on item for USD SCC makers only (you aren't restricted to using it on the SCC maker pet, though, just restricted to buying it paired with an SCC maker).
Enjoy!

T4T: You Can Never Learn Too Much
Items
"May 15th-June 15th is Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month (click here to learn more).
Tourette syndrome (TS) is an inherited disorder of the nervous system, characterized by a variable expression of unwanted movements and noises (tics). It is not just what people think where you randomly cuss. Not everyone even cusses due to it. Some people will randomly spurt out other words as well and never once say a cuss word due to it. But it is far more then just words coming out of your mouth it can also make your body move in ways you're not telling it to from a simple twitch of a finger to seizure like movements where the entire body is twitching out of control, only you're not having an actual seizure. Because of this it makes normal life functions difficult if not properly treated."
The item will stock in Trash For Treasure until 11:59pm June 15th.

T4T: A Little Awareness
Items
"May 19th is World IBD Day.
IBD stands for inflammatory bowel disease, and is about as fun as it sounds. Specifically, it includes the Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Two - permanent - conditions for which there is no known medical cure that works for certain, no proper known cause, and very little support for the people suffering from it, as it's "rude" or even "taboo" to suffer from something, that means you might have to spend a lot of time on (or near) a toilet. Imagine having to explain to your class mates, that you have no energy, because you're loosing both blood and pretty much everything you eat every day, with no time to really get that energy back. Oh, and you need to stay within one minutes walk of an unoccupied toilet to feel comfortable. That's what it's like to have an IBD when the disease is bad. And for those that are really unlucky, this is every day, every week and every month of the year.
IBD usually hits young people between age 15 and 35, but can also hit children or older people. 1 in 200 people in the US are estimated to suffer from it. If you all do the math, it means that there statistically are Aywas users suffering from this as well. So wear the little hair clip for support the people that might be too shy - or even embarrassed - to explain about their unique daily challenges."
This item will stock in Trash for Treasure until 11:59pm May 26th.

Amazon Payments reinstated
Site Update
We have decided to return the Amazon Payments option as a payment processor on the Buy GP and USD Items page.
A chargeback situation update has been posted in my original thread -- click here. To sum it up, the processor has done right by us for the duplicate chargebacks and provided a refund. We are still waiting for the results of the initial set, but this is a step in the right direction and has renewed our faith in this processor.
