1. Flagging when shop owners are listing something that could be potentially not allowed on Folksy

   Suggested Features 168 votes  ·  16 comments
   There has been a bit of a debate on the Folksy forum about some of the new shops selling items that we believe aren't allowed on Folksy. They could be items that aren't really handmade or could have been made outside the UK, they could be items that are being resold, they could be items infringing copyright etc etc. http://talk.folksy.com/t/time-for-a-crackdown-folksy/9285/467 I'm suggesting that Folksy write something in to the computer program both to let sellers know when they are listing something that might be deemed in appropriate to sell and to trawl through all the existing listings too.

   With Royal Mail putting up the price of stamps again (grr!) it would be good to be able to offer a choice of cheaper or faster postage depending on the buyer's needs.

3. 'Copy Listing' directly from listing page

   Suggested Features 124 votes  ·  17 comments
   It would save loads of time if we could 'copy' an image the same way we can 'edit' an image directly from the items page within our shops. It's a faff to find the listing in the dashboard lists and select copy from there - takes ages!

4. Is it fair for pro sellers to constantly list their items so they are in top 40?

   Suggested Features 121 votes  ·  28 comments
   Is it fair for pro sellers to constantly list their existing items in their shop so they get seen when people come to folksy. I have noticed a lot of jewellery its same sellers who are constantly on front pages when i log into jewellery (as i sell jewellery) so they must constantly relist. This is not fair in my opinion as they then appear in the top 40 each day and general public look at best sellers and go to those shops so they get an unfair advantage over others who are not constantly on computer putting in their items in categories so they appear on front. I am a pro seller but never put 30 to 50 items a day as relists. I thought whole point of pro seller was ability to list more NEW items and occasionally relist some older ones to rearrange shop. I think relists should be limited to 10 per day to stop this unless its supplies items. Vote for this yes or no.
