FIRST..I love AW and my store. The stores are a great bargain and I don't mind paying extra. However, there are some serious problems. Let's keep listing them for new subscribers to read and to keep AW engineers...or whomever Sonya and the crowd refer our requests to...on their toes:
1. Search capablities beyond just the title (and no I don't want to ask my customers to go search the entire AW site). My customers want to search my store so keyword searches.
2. Search with three letter words...my customer for Bon Ami vintage ads gets nothing.
3. Search needs to be exact. If you go to my site and search for cigar ads you will also get cigarette because...well you know they both start the same. Also, if you search for Ford Car...you get all the Fords and all the cars.
4. What's up with apostrophe's? Try a search for Welch's vs. Welchs.
5. Jazz up the store pages...black and white is boring.
6. Alphabetize categories.
7. When the post office changes the postage again then I will have to manually change over 3000 listings....ouch, my carpel vibrates at the thought.
8. WBNs for BINs on Ebay take days...why?
9. Why can someone steal my images? Shouldnt you need a password to use my images?
10. How will you refund deadbeats in the storefront.
Tired now, must rest....more later.
Again, there will continue to be updates to the storefronts. As with all of our tools, we will continue adding features and addressing any issues that come up.
Let me address a few of the issues not already addressed in the other storefront threads.
#9 - The only way to completely stop image theft is to make your images unavailable without a password, unfortunately that would mean your buyers could not view them either.
#10 - Just as with auctions, if there is a non-paying bidder, you will need to manually adjust your quantity avaialble. Additionally, we will have a non-paying bidder refund process just like regular auctions.
We will make the process for requesting non-paying bidder refunds available shortly.
