I'd like to be able to set timers. Hear me out. I want to be able to automatically
set a sale for 24-48 hours. Whether it's the whole store, or selected groups
or lots, this would be handy. I wouldn't have to remember to begin or end
a sale with this option. Scheduling could be setup, if I'm out of town for
a weekend and returning Sunday night, I could schedule a sale starting Sunday
afternoon, automatically.

Also, I'd like to be able to set a timer if, say, a Buyer wants to cut a
deal on a certain lot of parts. I could set this up to reserve the items in question
for a certain time period, say 24 hours at whatever price we've discussed.
Take it or leave it, price goes back to original after X amount of time.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Currently, when putting on a store wide sale, there are some rare parts lots
that I do not wish to include in the sale. Rather than manually go through and
exclude each one individually every time I want to have a sale, I would like
an option box by each lot that I can check to exclude that lot from sales price
reductions. It would be something that once set, would remain in effect until
deselected.

Has anyone suggested www.wepay.com as a new payment service? If not, I'd like
to throw it out there as a Paypal replacement. They charge 3.5%, minimum of $0.50,
so the sweet spot falls between $6 and $50 to beat Paypal on price. Up to $100
will run about $0.30 more than Paypal's 2.9% and $0.30 fees. From what I've read,
very similar to Paypal, except they will process Buyer payments direct from bank
accounts (ACH), still just $0.50. Check it out and let me know if you spot anything
outside normal or may be a problem.

I would like the ability to manually lock pricing on certain inventory items.

For example, if I bought some sets that have a high draw value, they bring customers
in to my store. However, the cost of the sets was such that I do not make much
if anything on them. If I put an additional sale on at my store, I would have
to go through and adjust the pricing of those sets so that the sale would not
lower it less than my cost. By being able to lock that lot of sets, it would
make it so that the pricing could only be adjusted manually. I could reduce the
rest of my inventory by 10% and not have to worry about forgetting to adjust
the pricing on those sets.

Much like the other check boxes currently utilized, this one would remove the
item(s) from the being enacted upon by most things in the pricing action items
list. Perhaps even have it's own searchable function for all items with this
box ticked. Please share your thoughts on this.

Currently, when shopping, if you run across an item that needs to be reported
for one problem or another, it is a multi-step process to do so. I would like
to propose a simple "report this item" button be implemented so that simply clicking
it will take you to the "problem with item for sale" section, bring with it the
lot number from the item and when you have submitted the item, have a button
to bring you right back to where you left off so you can finish shopping.

Too often things do not get reported due to the current reporting process. A
one click reporting button with a simple return to previous page button would
be wonderful.

There have been several previous discussions on Favorite - Least Favorite status
in the past. One of the points raised was regarding the current inability to
receive some sort of comment from someone who has Favorited or Least Favorited
your store. As a Seller, I must always be looking for ways to improve, so how
can I do that when I don't know why someone has placed me as a Least Favorite.

I know the commenting was disabled due to abuse of the system, so what I would
like to propose is a predefined set of choices and checkboxes so a Buyer can
simply check the box on High Shipping Cost, Slow Shipment or any number of problems
encountered. This would be done anonymously, unless a checkbox for Contact Buyer
was checked, which would reveal your UserID to the Seller. The difficult part
would be to put together a short list of reasons to make checkboxes for. The
most common seem to be:

Store Terms: Confusing, Fees, Other
Customer Service: Communication, Resolution
Shipping: High, Slow, Packaging
Quality: Condition, Correct, Packaging
Other: Other

These are all things that would point the Seller in the right direction to effect
changes. Store Terms, are they confusing, do they outline excessive fees, or
is there something else about them that needs to be examined. Customer Service,
is the Seller communicationg with their customer, do they satisfactorily resolve
issues. Shipping, is the cost too high, are they slow to get orders out and is
the packaging sufficient to protect orders. Quality, are the items in the stated
condition, is the order correct and was there sufficient packaging or were items
all thrown into one bag. Other would be just that, anything other than those
reasons. It may not tell you much by itself, but at least all the other items
not selected can probably be ruled out.

I'm sure there are others, so feel free to discuss.

I would like the ability to set up secondary wanted list notifications. Currently,
when you set up a wanted list notification, the default option is to have it
sent to your primary email address. As I am on the go a lot, I would welcome
the opportunity to receive them via text message to my cell phone, a secondary
email address (which I could then have auto-forwarded to my cell phone) or other
device capable of receiving notifications via the internet.

When someone Most or Least favorites a store, it would be nice to have some sort
of feedback mechanism to the store so they can understnad why people like or
dislike their store. Perhaps a text box to type in why you selected the store
as most or least favorite, the contents of which would then be sent in an anonymous
system message format to the Seller. It would give them an opportunity to better
understand what customers find important and they could then drive for increased
customer satisfaction.
