The more credits you receive at once, the higher the price.

The price per VRC credit increases with the number of credits purchased at once.
This is extremely puzzling.
For example, 600 credits cost $4.99, but 1200 credits cost $9.99, not double $4.99 ($9.98). Similarly, 2400 credits cost $19.99, not double $9.99 ($19.98). The price increases by $0.01 with each additional credit.
Anyone with basic math skills wouldn't implement such a sloppy pricing structure, yet this is what's happening. This needs to be corrected.
Additionally, please consider these pricing options: one that increases bonus credits ( https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-economy/p/please-create-credit-bundles-for-larger-quantities-bought ) and another that normalizes prices without setting limits ( https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-economy/p/standardize-credit-pack-values ).

I think the current pricing structure is fine. If they were to adjust things, however it's done, we'd be paying more for the lower amounts. They can try and hide it by showing buyers bonus credits, and giving sellers lower amounts when they pull money out, but then the sellers likely will raise prices...
I'm used to the .99 thing, so they write $4.99 and I see $5. I think if I need $20 in vbucks, I'm going to be okay with eating 3 cents to save some time.

Alright please ignore this comment. I just want to see what happens if I write out the URL with katakana

I don't think the pricing itself is a problem, but strictly speaking, the more credits you have, the more the price effectively increases. In a typical social game, you get bonus credits, so it's not a problem, but it becomes a problem with currently VRChat's pricing structure.
Therefore, I suggest they should either revise the price or add bonus credits. To be honest, I prefer bonus credits over a price increase. It's nice to feel like you're getting a good deal.

VRCクレジットは、一度に購入するクレジット数が多ければ多いほど、1クレジット辺りの金額が上昇していきます。
これは非常に不可解です。
例えば、600クレジットは4.99ドルですが、倍数の1200クレジットは4.99ドルの2倍である9.98ドルではなく9.99ドル、同様にして2400クレジットは9.99ドルの2倍である19.98ドルではなく19.99と、クレジット数が増えるにつれて0.01ドル値上がりしています。
一般的に算数ができる方であればこんな杜撰な料金設定にしないと思うのですが、現にそうなっています。これは是正されるべきです。
あわせて、こちらのボーナスクレジットを挙げていく料金設定( https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-economy/p/please-create-credit-bundles-for-larger-quantities-bought )や、こちらの端を設定せず正規化する料金設定( https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-economy/p/standardize-credit-pack-values ) を検討ください。
