Excitement! List your store in multiple categories and three new categories :)

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Now *this* is the type of message I like to send you. After years (and years) of requests, I have finally added the ability for you to list your stores in multiple categories (yippee!!). You’ll see where you can do this on your profile pages. Please, please, do not abuse this feature by listing your store in unrelated categories. This is not fun for shoppers. I would even ask that you try to list your store only in categories in which you stock items fairly often or have recently stocked items. For example, if Store A stocks cloth diapers and sometimes soap, it would be best if that seller only lists herself in the soap category when she has soap in stock. Make sense?

I have also added three new categories: Pet Items, Sweet Treats, and Upcycled Items. Can’t wait to see you fill them in :) Note that there may be a bit of a delay before the number of stores updates on the main page. Finally, you’ll see when you list a featured shop ad, that you’ll need to choose just one category to be listed at the top of the ad (otherwise, it could get a bit busy with multiple categories listed).

Please let me know if anything’s buggy or isn’t working the way you expect. Thanks!

Transferring feedbacks

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Hi all,

This is not my favorite type of email to send out — I’d rather be notifying you of a great new upgrade (some are in the works, but nothing to roll-out right now). However, I have been spending more and more time lately transferring feedbacks between stores, and I think it’s going to make the most sense to start charging a fee for this service.

From here on in,  if you would like to transfer feedback between stores, there will be a $5 charge. Please Paypal this amount to payments [at] hyenacart.com and put the url of the feedback page you’d like to transfer from, and the url of the feedback page you’d like to transfer to, in the comments section.

Thanks for your understanding!
