Please put Featured listings back on top

We pay a good and fair amount for premium advertising. At this point the money paid for this advertising is not nearly worth it. Most customers will not scroll down and view the whole page. I am not understanding why we should continue to purchase featured listings when we do not receive top billing on the first page. I am very disappointed with this change and would strongly suggest it be put back. Thanks tim.
  1. Admin comment: Thanks for your input. At this point, we are willing to accept a reduced income stream from the featured listings ads in order to ensure that the front page of the site is as inviting as possible, and features only highly attractive / well-photographed items. If, in the future, we feel we have the capacity to screen images for the Featured Shops slots without causing significant delays in the posting of ads, we will revisit the idea of placing them at the top of the front page. Thanks!

  1. If you could set it for buying in advanced, instead of right away, then that would help figure out what is good and bad, you can have a set amount of featured spots available to buy each day for a wek in advance, the vendor can select which day they want the featured spot, based on how many/if any is left for that day (have to buy 24 - 48 hours in advance from the time they want the spot to be featured) and submit the pic they would like to use, that way your team will have 24 - 48 hours to review the photos submitted and either approve or deny.

  2. I agree, the featured spots are already expensive at $5 just for 24 hours and is on a rotational basis, having it on the bottom of the front page is taking away even more from the featured spots from being seen. I wont by featured spots again until they are moved as I find it is a waste of money.
