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

Thanks so much for doing this! I hate to sound like a whiner, but is there a for yarn and fabric to be 2 different categories? When I am looking for yarn I don’t really need to wade through a bunch of fabric stores (or vice versa) - and they aren’t usually carried by the same stores. Just a hopeful suggestion
Thanks,
Melissa

I wanted to list in upcycled, but it is not working. Will not stay checked off in my profile.

Melissa — that’s a good idea — we’ll do that
Linda — that should be fixed now. Sorry!
