News New Marketplace Features

Adam · 08-30-2011, 02:21 PM

Today, several improvements to our Marketplace section have been made in order to make it easier to manage your listings!

Edit your listing's meta information

We've added a link allowing you to update your thread title, shipping destinations, location, and price. The link is found in the upper-right corner of each of your active threads.

This information will become visible in the main thread listings:

"My Listings" Link

A convenient link has been added to the navbar taking you straight to a list of all your current for-sale and wanted threads.

New forum

Links to the new electronics for-sale section have been added to the header as well.

As a reminder, the new forum is intended for personal use only. Bulk, commercial, or re-sales are not allowed in that section. Such sales may only be carried out for photographic equipment and with appropriate "Volume Seller" (formerly reseller) access.

We hope that these changes improve your marketplace experience!

The computers/electronics section is a great idea that's been a long time coming, IMO. Nice!

WerTicus · 08-30-2011, 02:33 PM

nice to see these improvements good work. especially the shipping / item location standardization.
Now can we add a feature to only show / search for items that will ship to our own locations?

That's already in the thread filtering options. The only thing you can't filter by is price and location.

Cool..........

WerTicus · 08-30-2011, 02:36 PM

I just looked and found it myself and was going to correct my post but your too fast Adam! Awesome :P

EricR · 08-30-2011, 02:44 PM

Some nice changes, great work. Having the option to change the title is very neat if you have more than 1 item for sale.

Ubuntu_user · 08-30-2011, 02:52 PM

Thanks Adam. Your updates to the forum are always great.

Yes that's precisely the idea, however, please don't list too many items in a single thread as it makes them harder to find + harder to leave feedback.

**Ash** · 08-30-2011, 02:54 PM

Excellent additions Adam.
A very welcome change.

geauxpez · 08-30-2011, 05:30 PM

Modify title! Woohoo! Nice changes -- thanks Adam.
