Latest Features!
|
These new features have been recently added to the website:
Bulk Loader
Within My Account, the new Bulk Loader allows sellers to list large numbers of
slides very rapidly. All large volume sellers are encouraged to look at this
time saving feature!
Block Bidder
Sellers can now block bidders from bidding on their auctions using the new Block
Bidder page, accessed in My Account. Site users with a history of slow payment or
poor communication should be aware that sellers can now block their bids!
Blocked Bidder List
All users that are blocked are presented for all to see on the new
Blocked Bidder List.
The Blocked Bidder List
also shows the nickname of the blocking seller(s). This will allow everyone to see emerging
patterns of poor performance, and will hopefully encourage the blocked bidders to rectify
their problems.
Edit Auction
Sellers can now make the following changes to their auctions on the Edit Auction
page within My Account:
1) change image
2) edit auction title
3) change auction category
Login-Logout Module
A new time-saving login-logout module has been added to the website. When logged in,
users no longer need to enter their nickname and password when performing all site functions (bidding,
listing slides etc).
Relist Completed Auction
A "Relist This Item" button now appears at the top of all expired
auctions. Clicking this button automatically launches a new Sell Page that
is pre-populated with all the details and images from the completed auction.
Of course any field can be changed (except images) and the relisted auction
can be posted with two simple clicks of the mouse! Be careful not to relist
auctions that were initially set to relist automatically... to avoid double
listings.
Payment InstructionsSellers can now send their mailing address, and custom payment instructions
to auction winners in the end-of-auction "congratulations" email that is
automatically sent out by the system. On the Sell Page, we have added a new text
box (titled "Payment Instructions") in which sellers can include their own
custom message for the winner. Also, at the bottom of the Sell page, there
is a new check box where sellers can select to have the system include
their complete mailing address along with the "congratulations" results
emailed to auction winners.
"New Listings Here"
If an auction has been posted to a category within the past 24 hours, "New
Listings Here" will appear beside the category name on the
Listings Page. This allows users to
see where new auctions have been posted with a quick glance of the
Listings Page.
Auction Watch
Just click on the "watch" link which now appears on all auctions to add
desired auctions to your "watch" page. By logging into My Account, you can
then access the "watch" page which presents all the auctions you would like
to keep close watch of ... all in one convenient place. Selected auctions
remain on the watch page until auction expirey.
Account Balance
You can view your account balance simply by logging into My Account. It is
no longer necessary to run a detailed account inquirey to retrieve
account balances.
Private Auctions
All auctions posted on the website are now private. Seller and high bidder
nicknames presented on any given auction are now Nickname and Password
protected. In order to send an email to the seller/high bidder, simply click
on the seller/high bidder nickname, enter your nickname and password, and
our system will send your email message for you. This change was made to protect
user's email addresses from being archived by spam engines, and to prevent
unsolicited communications from people outside the SlideTrader community.
FREE Image Hosting
You no longer have to link from an external web site when presenting an
image with your auction. Now, you can simply and quickly upload your images right from your
computer to our server when you post your auction. This service is completely free!
Thumbnail Images
Now you can present a thumbnail image of your auction item on the listing page to catch the
attention of interested bidders. This service is provided for free!
Buy It Now 
Sellers can now post auctions with the option of indicating a Buy It Now price. This means a bidder
can accept the seller's price and end the auction process at any time. Of course the regular auction process (and reserve
price) still applies so long as the price remains below the seller's Buy It Now price.
User Feedback
The User Feedback system has been changed so that any member can only leave one feedback comment on any other
site member. New feedback about a specific user will replace the old comments. So if you change your mind about
previous comments they can now be retracted.
PayPal is now available for International users.
Use PayPal to
settle private party transactions in $USD anywhere in the world!
