Please change the Search screen format to be more pleasing
https://talk.folksy.com/t/search-result-images/27689
I have only just realised why when I go to the Search screen it looks so unpleasing and it is because it is a totally different format from the rest of the site. I love the look of the Folksy front page (nearly all square images and a neat 4 to a line. Same as our shop pages. I find these visually pleasing.The Search screen is one of the first things a new visitor to the site is likely to see. Why then does it have this weird format of rectangular, cropped pictures, 3 to a line and…

Replace top sellers with last sold items
The top sellers are always the same as slanted towards value rather than actual number of sale.ps. This is unfair for those of us selling cheaper items as never stand a chance. Plus customers may think other shops are not worth looking at.
To be fairer to all could top sellers be scrapped after all it is always the same shops and latest items sold put in instead. Updates when an item is sold. This would then be changing all the time and be far more interesting.

Random display of new listings etc
Need to mix up new listings and those in gift guides so customers don’t see pages of the the same shop. It looks awful and I would give up.

Please will Folksy concentrate on their core business. Selling
Folksy seem to be losing their way. We sellers are here to showcase and sell our beautiful work. Folksy is supposed to be a selling platform and up to the last few days was just that but appears to be directing its attention to diversifying into an online arts and craft exhibition.
Please listen to your sellers who are struggling after the recent changes you made which has added a most unwelcome cloak of invisibilty to us. I've been here 14 years and as far as I can see no more people outside Folksy have heard of Folksy than had…10 votes -
Shop signing in.
I'm finding it a little annoying to have to keep signing into my shop. 4 times today I had to sign in, sometimes it doesn't sign me out for a couple of days sometimes it lets me stay signed in for longer. I would like to be signed into my shop for as long as I like, until I decide that I want to sign out. Is there a way to do this?

New listings automatically go to top of first shop page
When you list a new item it goes automatically to the top of your front page instead of at the bottom of the last page. The shopkeeping page is a nightmare to move stuff around. It's slow and getting slower and hard to move items.

Re-arranging Products
Could we please have the ability to edit our live shops, so that we can easily re-arrange products by dragging & dropping them into place please & from page to page?
I know there's limited capability in Shopkeeping but this is far too time consuming & doesn't allow us to arrange items depending on upcoming celebrations or seasons.

Preview listing fees to be charged when creating a listing
When previewing an item that you're about to list, it would be a lot more transparent for Folksy to tell you how much they will charge on your bill for listing the item. This is especially pertinent for new customers who read 'First 3 listings are FREE' but add for example 4 items to their first new listing and incur a charge as Folksy's interpretation of First 3 listings are FREE really means first 3 items across listings are FREE.

Report seller button for reporting rogue shops
with the increase in scam shops would be good to have a 'report seller' or 'report shop' button in addition to the current 'report item' button so we can more quickly highlight where a whole shop is bogus.

New subcategory for spoons, please?
Hi, I'm new here and would welcome an appropriate subcategory for my hand stamped spoons, maybe 'tablewares' under 'kitchen and dining'?

New subcategory for spoons, please?
Hi, I've just opened a shop selling hand stamped vintage spoons and there currently isn't really an appropriate subcategory for them, could they maybe have one under 'kitchen and dining' that is something like 'cutlery and flatware' or 'tablewares'?

New Subcategory Under Weddings for Flowers Please
Hey, I'm a Faux Florist specialising in Wedding Flowers. When I go to list my corsages and buttonholes there is no dedicated category for them.
I feel like my work has no place.
Instead of having it under stationery and accessories (which is not even correct because people will assume it means stationery accessories)
Please have a section under Weddings as Flowers, in that Flowers section you have Bouquets, Corsages, Buttonholes, Hair Flowers, Cake flowers, Flower arrangements and OtherIt would be a massive help for myself and others to fit into the wedding section.

Free Text field in Postage section, that can be bulk edited.
Hi there
Is it possible to have a free text field under the Delivery and Postage heading please?I send my items with free postage, but want to buyer to know HOW I send it - eg Royal Mail 1st Class signed for. There is nowhere I can write this except in the main description. But the info really needs to be under the postage section.
The problem: Due to postage costs rises I am having to change to 2nd class post. I have had to go into each of my listings and change this for every one manually.

Auto Export of sales to QuickBooks
I use quickbooks for accounting and customer payments and to send invoices and record all purchases and expenses like postage. It would be really great if the folksy store could be linked to QuickBooks just like my Amazon Etsy EBay or Woocommerce store and automatically import all customer data and sales data into quick books.

Search function within each shop
If you find a shop that sells the kind of product you are looking for, it would be great to be able to search within that shop.

Videos option on listings please
Not sure if this has been suggested before. But a video of our listings would be so useful. I find using videos on Instagram really attracted comments. It also shows off my work so much better than a photo. It would be great to have this option.
