Good morning Jerome & welcome to Powersellers Unite!
I'm sure you'll find many helpful sellers here, willing to give you advice and tips.
I would suggest though to please keep your posts to one thread and include all your questions there. You don't want to give your first impression here as spamming, eh? :)
Best wishes,
sylvia |

| You need to fix your link in your post without the coma as it is causing an error when it is clicked on. :wink: |

| Seems to me that in the registration screen, the space for Full Name is awfully small. It is a pet peeve of mine that field spaces should be the same size as the field itself. |

You might want to build in more error trapping. For example, it is acceptable to enter all numbers into the City field. The State/Province field allows two letter abbreviations that do not exist.
You will get a lot of spurious entries if this is not done. Carelessness as well as scammers can cause your data to be corrupted. |

You put 100 listings in a store at this site and you will be paying $40 to $80 a month. GEESH!!!!
That's a minimum of 40 cents listing fee.
The ways the fees are set up, it looks to me that they are aiming for the VERY HIGH end items.
Won't be getting very many VERY HIGH END items with being so new and no track record and HIGH fees. |
