I use your service to convert my altcoins to bitcoins but I am not happy with your high exchange fees

There are no fees, only spread...

...or am I wrong?

You're correct, it is a matter of spread, not fees. Users get exactly the exchange rate shown on the site. To get better rates, you should always put in a "Specific Amount".  Since many of these coin markets are thin/illiquid, there is friction in converting between them, and some people incorrectly believe it is a ShapeShift "fee."  We've struggled with how to communicate this effectively to users.

If written words are not working, maybe infographics should help... 

BTW people should think about liquidity concerns before asking for altcoin 'XYZ' to be added...

P.s. Through observation, I guess only Bitcoin can be traded with large volumes (various max vol. limit exchanges repeated times) without moving the spread too much on ShapeShift.

I think it's worth posting here, apparently someone's attempting twitter scam claiming to be shapeshift/Eric Voorhees:

Hey I wanted to give a heads up and warn people, if you use twitter and have tweeted shapeshift or Erik Voorhees there is a chance you will get a tweet about following him so he can send you a direct message. This isn't him the handle will be missing an o and will read @ErikVorhees This will lead to a survey monkey and a "one time double shift" up to 3 btc free.

Don't be stupid guys, it is a phish and watch the handle, the account looks just like the original thing so pay attention. Don't get phished and remember if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

Thanks to kingcolex for calling this out.

[poplolnman]

any idea how we can make an application to shapeshift.io about alt coin integration?
i have sent an email 2 days ago and still didn't get reply, have sent a personal message too and not yet get reply too.

Hello,please add Sprouts:) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1238834.0

Suggestion: add NuShares - it's around top 20 Mktcap, strictly correlated to Nubits (it shares the same wallet and similar infrastructure) and Peershares - cryptocurrencies already available at SS - and its liquidity is increasing considerable at Poloniex.

Factom (FCT) would be a great addition too, as we can see by its recent improvements over development and liquidity at Poloniex.

Thanks for the warning. They look dead alike, was going to report it for phishing but it seems the site is already down, which is good.
