Request : Ability to cancel/relist unpaid auction.
[/quote]There is now a ‘Cancel Sale’ button available for all auctions that have been sold but no delivery details have been provided. Once hit But Now only auctions have the quantity added back on to the auction and normal auctions get moved to closed auctions where the item can be relisted.
Through doing this I uncovered an outstanding bug that I have chased before where some auctions show up with 0 quantity. The system was allowed auctions to be relisted from the closed auctions page which had 0 quantity. Closed auctions no longer shows auctions with 0 quantity. To relist a sold out auction you would do so from the sold auctions page using the sell similar function.

Sometimes the server takes nearly 1 minute to process requests, such as going to pay for an item or enter my shipping information. I noticed there was 24 users currently online.
Maybe a nice feature upgrade as the market becomes more popular would be an increase in concurrent users or the like?

[b]Feature Request[/b]
A set of toggle-able features to alert Marketplace Merchants/Customers of any Marketplace happening (bid, sale, auction won, new message, etc) right here on the forum. Like a little red blurb at the top of the page beside the Marketplace link. It could start out like shown below and if found useful expand to designate which “happening” it is that needs attention by showing separate icons for messages and the #, sales #, bids #, etc.

I think it would be nice if the auction only displayed views from potential buyers in the stats.
Currently the auctions view count is factoring in the merchants visits to the page which can then be manipulated by a merchant to make their auction appear more active than it is and at the same time hide the auctions actual popularity from the merchants that prefer to know the (actual popularity) # of visits excluding the merchants visits.

[/quote]Excellent, thanks! Yes I was able to do what you describe in the 2nd paragraph. It caused much confusion between myself and a buyer, so thank you for fixing both of these.

[b]Feature Request[/b]
A Marketplace API so someone can create a desktop app to alert if an auction completes, new message comes in, etc.

Feature Request
The ability to embed Youtube videos in marketplace listings.

Bug fix on the market today, the ability to cancel sales was only supposed to be there until the buyer had entered delivery information. However this option was there until the item was marked as dispatched. This explains why some sales have disappeared from the system.
If you need to cancel a sale where there is no cancel sale option please contact the Feathercoin market email address on the site. I plan to add a refund address to sales for the buyer so that cancellations can be used throughout the transaction process.

The number of items shown on the front page has been limited to five per user. This prevents sellers with a large number of auctions from dominating the front of the site.

[/quote]This was actually helpful to me when I had bidders that were not paying for an item. I could cancel the sale and re-list the item. I have had to do this 2 times before and was planning on canceling another later today if the escrow account has not received payment. If that is no longer possible:
Feature Request:[list]
[*]Have sales timeout and cancel after 24 hours if a payment has not been made.
[/list]
Feature Request (minor issue):[list]
[*]Extra email setting for receiving emails for auctions that ended, but will be auto re-listed. I’d prefer to not get emails that my auction just ended if it is being auto re-listed.
[/list]

You can still cancel but only if no delivery information has been added. I was wondering about how to handle cancellation if the seller may be sending payment. I think the best way is as I mentioned in my post above by asking the buyer for a refund address. Then you could cancel at any time but from the backend I can still refund any coins sent to that address.
I can look into disabling the item ended email if the item is being relisted. So you would only get an email when the item has finished and is not being relisted.

Any way to have the messages that are sent to us at the marketplace be e-mailed to us? Maybe with a link to click to get back into the messages area? Am I missing somewhere that option can be turned on? Then I don’t have to login to the marketplace every day just to look for messages.
Thank you!

I have no idea if this has been said before, but can we get a [b]wanted section[/b] in the marketplace?
I want more computer hardware for sale.
-
Just an idea, how about a wanted section?
-
what about premium listings where seller could pay a few ftc to have Items listed and highlighted on first page, maybe funds gained from this could go to something important ???

[/quote]Well, even just as a vertical service/value add for the site itself.I don’t gather the marketplace is operating comfortably in the black, yet.

Not sure if this is the right place but the edit auction feature in the market place appears to be very buggy, working sometimes and not working others.
When I click on the edit auction icon it links me back to the main page instead of taking me to the auction edit page most of the time although I have got it to work sometimes and have succesfully edited auctions using this function but it must depends on if the stars are aligned correctly or some other witchcraft…
Hope This Helps

You are not always able to edit an auction, if there is a bid it locks editing for example. There needs to be feedback for this. The site is based on WeBid which was a terrible choice and I have spent weeks bug fixing that site and it needs many weeks more. I will add this to the very long list of required work!

Small change to the market, buyers can now mark the item as received without needing the seller to mark as dispatched first. When they mark it as received it marks the item as dispatched.
