Fantastic response time, Do you reckon you can do later?
Hi, so this is actually expected behavior. There’s a 10% affiliate fee for every in game purchase that goes to the experience owner; typically passes get sold in experiences where the pass creator and experience creator are the same, so that 10% fee goes to the same person. However, since this was sold in pls donate, that 10% fee went to the creator of pls donate.
I’ll look into finding a way to better highlight this behavior; it’s pretty fringe behavior IMO and is very unintuitive to everyone (myself included)

This sounds good. Most users I come across don’t even have any idea how much of a % is taken by the game and Roblox itself, so outlining it would help. Possibly even on the in-game purchase prompt, a list of where each % of the funds will go or something like ‘The recipient will receive X Robux from this purchase’.
