Resource is only six pages of bullet points - which are general - and some quotes. Massively overpriced. It is misleading to call a six page list a revision pack. Overview page is significantly more detailed than the rest of the resource - hence my comment that it is misleading.

I don't think that the points I've made are general and 'some quotes' seems a bit harsh, as there are quite a few quotes across all six pages and the majority of them are analysed (apart from a few that are used to back up a point). I've been constantly comparing my resources with other 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' TES Authors and I've found that my resources include a lot more information, rather than 'images' and 'easy activities' on its pages. But I understand that this has become a concern for more than one person now and the words 'overpriced' and 'misleading' have been mentioned in both reviews. I'll be sure to update my resource title, overview and price.<br />
Sorry if this has caused you any inconvenience, I'll be sure to check the overall quality of all of my resources to make sure that I am not misleading anyone and not charging them too much for something that clearly isn't of good quality.

Resource is decent but basic so the description is somewhat misleading and product overpriced

I'm sorry to hear that you thought my product was misleading and overpriced. I used this pack to collate all the information that I needed for the exam and revise effectively. I named it a 'revision pack', as although it doesn't include any activities, it is a summarised form of key information that students may need for their exam, including the theories and opinions of others. Regarding the pricing of my product, I thought that this is reasonable compared to other documents that people are selling, and it includes a lot of information on multiple pages (rather than giant images to make it seem like there is more text). But again, I'm sorry to hear that you dislike my product and I will do some searching and consider reducing the prices of my products that don't deliver what they've promised.
