Site Availability Improvement & Commissions
|
Dear All
Site Availability
Just a quick note to say that we've added some protection for the site in terms of reducing DDOS attacks on the site. Sadly unknown entities can attack sites in worldwide with Denial of Service attacks which is essentially sending lots of automated traffic to the site to try and compromise its availability.
You should now see an improvement in the site availability !
Auction Commissions
As mentioned a while back, auction commissions have now been set to 10% - as also mentioned, sellers listing 300+ slides per month will still enjoy the lower 7% commission rate.
We will run a monthly task that reviews the number of auctions posted by sellers and if it exceeds 300 in the month, commission will be set to 7% if it is less than 300 commission will be set to the standard 10%

Auction Commissions Review
|
Dear Member
I'm writing to inform you that from the 10th of October, auction commissions will increase from 7% to 10%.
The rationale for the increase is two-fold:
1) Running costs of the site have progressively increased over the last few years
2) The hobby itself is seeing a decline in popularity meaning fewer listings
I hope you understand the rationale for the increase which means a slide sale for $10 will now result in a commission of $1 instead of 0.70 cents
This is still competitive with the likes of eBay for example
If you are an established seller listing over 300 slides a month you can apply to keep the commission limit at 7% which we deem fair for those that are actively using and supporting the site.
Kind Regards
Darren AircraftSlides.com

Shop Category Management
|
It's great to see some items appearing in the new Shops section.
As requested, Shop Owners can now add/edit and delete categories meaning you can now organise all listings in the shop as required and not limited to the initial 5 categories when you first create the shop.
Shops are a great alternative to running your own website and come with their own search facility and personal categories.
More info on shops is here

Introducing AircraftSlides Shops
|
AircraftSlides Shops offer another medium for selling your slides, prints and digital photography
The big difference with shops is that you can sell multiples of the same slide at a fixed price. This could be just one slide or a hundred!

Don't forget to Leave Feedback
|
If you have bought or sold items through the site, you can leave feedback on the selling/buying experience. Doing so is optional, but will help other site users gauge the ease of doing business with other site members.
Feedback can be left from the Buying & Selling History pages by selecting the relevent item/s and clicking the Leave Feedback button.
You do not need to enter any feedback message, you can simply use the voting buttons and leave a 'thumbs up', 'thumbs down' or neutral response.
The feedback will be posted to the users profile. In the event of dissatisfaction, you should not leave any abusive or derogatory comments, just a fair summary of why you are leaving such feedback.
Sellers using the invoicing system can leave feedback for all invoiced items very quickly and the feedback will be listed as 'Multiple Items'.

Website Update - New Features
|
The latest version of th site has been updated with some new requested features as follows:
Auction Description - now allows 75 characters
Buying & Selling History - Now displays the buyer/seller email address for items won/sold
User Profile - Country displayed
Seller Emails - Buyer Name now included with address
Thanks for all of the feedback to date, I'm looking into the ability to display auction listings in a list view (as an option) as some users have requested this.

Search & New Items list Fixes Implemented
|
I've made some fixes to a few features as follows:
New Items List - Now orders the new items properly as they are listed
All Live Items now viewable, select from the auctions Menu
Search Page enhanced and examples of how to search for items.
Add Auction - some items exceeding the file size limit through an error message, the site now informs you if the image to upload exceeds the file size limit
I'll be adding a new feature shortly called 'Tag'. This will be a new field in Add Auction page that allows a seller to place their own reference for the auction item (it will not be displayed on the Auction page) but it will be viewable in your selling history. This field will be perfect for you to enter the slide filename or another reference to help you find the auction items for the buyer after auction closure
