FluxShards and pricing

FluxShards (shown as FS) are FluxerList’s paid currency. You buy them in packs and spend them on sponsored placement, profile unlocks, and cosmetics that can’t be bought with FL Tokens. Everything else on FluxerList stays free: browsing, listing, voting, and bumping never need Shards.

Shards are kept apart from FL Tokens on purpose. They never count towards the leaderboard, the monthly payout, quests, or achievements, so you can’t buy your way up the rankings.

Packs

Prices include VAT. Checkout may show the price in your local currency, and shows the final price before you pay.

Your next completed pack purchase also gets a one-time 20% extra Shards on top of the pack’s usual bonus, including if you bought before the bonus launched.

Buying Shards

Open the Shard Shop tab in your dashboard and choose Get Shards. Before checkout opens you tick two boxes:

• You’re 18 or over, or your parent or guardian is making the purchase.
• You want your Shards straight away, and understand that you lose your 14-day right to cancel once they’re in your account.

Buyers in Brazil also complete a one-time age check before their first purchase, as Brazilian law requires. Everyone else only ticks the 18+ box. Once you’ve passed the check you don’t need to do it again.

Choosing a pack takes you to a secure checkout page hosted by Stripe, which acts as the merchant of record. Stripe takes your payment, handles VAT, and sends your receipt. On your receipt and card statement the seller is shown as Onelink (LINK.COM*). Your Shards appear in your balance as soon as the payment goes through.

Every Shard price in the shop also shows an approximate GBP value. If you’re short of Shards for something, a top-up prompt takes you to a pack picker, with a pack that covers the gap selected when possible.

Past-season name colours, frames, flairs, accents, titles, and banner effects can also be bought with Shards once their FL Token season ends, at 10% below the FL Token price. See Past-season cosmetics.

What Shards buy

Sponsored Spotlight

The Sponsored Spotlight is the top slot of the home page. It works like the weekly Spotlight auction, but bids are in Shards, it can go to a server or a bot, and the winner is labelled Sponsored.

Bidding for a week happens during the week before it, and the top bidder when the week starts wins. Only your current top bid holds Shards, and an outbid bid comes straight back.

Browse Servers and Browse Bots each have a weekly Sponsored spot paid in Shards too, with the same rules, for a server or a bot respectively. See Browse Sponsored spots.

You can also set an auto-bid: a maximum that FluxerList bids up to for you, one minimum raise at a time. Your maximum can’t be more than you can pay, only your leading bid is held, and it switches off if your balance runs out. Every bid you’ve placed, automatic or not, is in the Bidding History tab of your dashboard.

Shard Shop cosmetics

The Shard Shop sells cosmetics you can’t get with FL Tokens. A dressing room lets you try any mix of them over your own profile before you buy. Once bought, you equip them from your dashboard like anything else you own.

Name effects animate your username everywhere it appears.

Season 1 collection

Founders Bundle

The Founders Bundle is a one-off, limited bundle:

• Only 10 will ever be sold, one per person.
• It’s on sale for 30 days. When the 10 are gone or the 30 days are up, it’s gone for good.
• It costs 12,000 FS, and 2,000 FS come straight back to your balance when you buy it.

The bundle contains:

• The Founder badge
• The Founder’s Gilt animated profile frame
• The Founder profile title
• The Gold Leaf name effect, a slow gold shimmer through your name

None of these can be bought any other way.

Profile unlocks

Profile unlocks are one-time purchases. You keep them for good once bought.

To take a listing off FluxerList entirely without deleting it, use Hide listing instead.

Rules

• Shards have no cash value. They can’t be withdrawn, exchanged, or sold.
• Shards can’t be gifted or moved to another account. Gifting works with FL Tokens only.
• There’s no way to turn FL Tokens into Shards, or Shards into FL Tokens.

Refunds

Because Shards are added to your account straight away, a purchase can’t be cancelled because you changed your mind, even if the Shards are unspent. You can still get a refund in some cases, for example if you were charged but your Shards never arrived, or a paid listing feature ends early because a listing is removed for a Minor or Major violation.

The Refund Policy has the full rules. To ask for a refund, email hi@fluxerlist.com with your Fluxer username and the receipt number from your receipt email.
