Some Cosmetic Changes

We've made some changes to terms that we use on the site to make it a little easier to use - we've changed "Most Popular Bids" to "Most Wanted" and "Most Popular Listings" to "Items Listed More Often" under our What's Going On sections.  We've left the URLs alone, so your bookmarks still work, but we think these are a bit more self-explanatory.  We've also changed some of the terms in MyDawdle to make them a little easier, so now the Want List matches the terms on the Product Pages. 

Because we have a number of sellers with hundreds of items, we've maintained separate pages for listings that have been sold but not paid - "Stuff I've Sold" - and listings that have been paid - "Paid Listings".  Stuff I've Sold has all of the sold items that you may need to mark as shipped or enter Delivery Confirmation numbers for; Paid Listings are completed transactions for review and reporting purposes.

Too good not to share

Yay Hooray

So, you may have noticed something.  The New Year hit and we didn't activate our 50 cent listing fees.  Well, we noticed something interesting - people weren't making a bunch of fake listings even though they were free.  We never planned on trying to make money on listing fees - we credit them back when your item sells - we just wanted to make sure that people weren't listing things that they didn't have. 

But throughout November and December, people were really good about this.  People weren't listing stuff they didn't have.  No buyers complained that they didn't get what they paid for.  Turns out we worried for nothing.

So, if we weren't trying to make money on listing fees, and they're a pain in the butt for everyone anyway, why have them? 

So we don't.   Enjoy!
