Hi all.
Today I got panicked, because I didn't find my super lots on searcher, but
I have them for sell.

On forum I got an answer that I must check the field before "Include Super Lots"
and than I can see them.

For me, as a seller this is not logical.
How will buyers know If there is a possibility to buy for example a minifigure
together with weapon If they don't know that this option exsist?
Or that they can buy left and right doors in one package?

For now I have app 1620 lots for sell and app 320 of them are super lots, which
is 20% of my store items and they are not visible to the buyers.

Please put a fix check infornt "Include Super Lots" that all the items are visible
to buyers. If buyers don't want to see super lots, than they can uncheck
the option.

I think this solution will be good for all the sellers.
Thank you for the answer.
Reghards.

But not good for buyers due to all the sellers that misuse superlots. Voted
no.

Superlots is a broken concept that needs to be rebuilt. The last time I checked,
they cannot even be put into stockroom.

I'm certainly voting yes. I just noticed this morning that something I have
had for sale for quite a while doesn't even show up in the listings because
it was superlotted to another piece. So I broke the superlot. How will it ever
sell if no one even knows it is available?

Hi there,

This was changed several months ago due to users abusing Super Lots to have their
listings appear at the top of the search results. We have plans to change how
super lots function in the future, but for the time being we will have to leave
this setting as it is to avoid having sellers abuse the system.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Sheryl

How far in the future? I have several superlots that make much more sense to
sell that way, but if it will be more than a year before any customer sees them
I may have to rethink it.
