Hi,
You know how when you are searching a store and click on the small image a larger
image pops out with the name of the set or part but there is no LINK. Yet everywhere
else on the site when you click on the small image the pop out window has a link:
CATALOG ENTRY.

I know that it has been suggested Many times (usually by buyers) that the link
be habilitated on stores. Well I am NOT asking for that, I am only asked that
it gets habilitated when YOU are browsing your OWN store. This will save a lot
of time for sellers to review their items back to back with the catalog. Without
having to go to inventory and possible screwing up something in the process.
I hope what I am asking is clear.

What do you think? Please vote and discuss.

Thank you.

No, sorry. That's why most browsers let you have multiple tabs.

i'm fine with it, but even adding it as an option for stores... I would be happy
that a user could get out of my store and back to the catalog... no need to keep
people tethered to my store if i don't have what they want.

As a buyer, I always check the catalog anyway, whether the site was designed
to make it easy or not. The bottom line is any smart buyer (which I would assume
would mean any buyer with more than a handful of purchases) is going to check
the catalog anyway; artificially making it difficult is only annoying - it doesn't
really do anything useful.

I prefer it this way. I rather be able to see store prices and catalog at same
time at separate browsers or tabs.

I voted yes, that would save a lot of time for me. I find it mildly frustrating
that link i snot present in the stores. I would not mind at all if it were available
to customers in my store either.
