  1. Add Isle of Wight to your list of counties (we are not part of Hampshire)

    The Isle of Wight is not listed as a county under your South-East England list, this means my shop is not showing in this search feature. I am sure there are other Isle of Wight shops that must have the same problem.

  2. Marking items as sold (where it has sold outside of Folksy) so that it is still visible to customers viewing my shop.

    I sell many of my original works of art at fairs and exhibitions and would like customers to be able to see an item they have seen in person has now sold. This is particularly important for original works of art, where there is only 1 item ever available. If I change the stock amount to zero the listing is hidden. It would be great if my store could show the listing of the item that has sold as a means to showcase my original works of art rather than my store just showcasing the art prints and cards that…

  3. Bluesky Sharing Button Please

    Is there any way we could have a button to share listings to Bluesky please? I know Facebook isn't an option, but now twitter is dead, Bluesky seems to be where all the creatives are gathering. It would be really helpful to be able to share there.

  5. Hallmarking Notice

    Could we have somewhere on our shop fronts to display dealers notice's from assay offices? Some of the pieces I have will be above the hallmarking exemption and it would be better than having to include as a photo on listings

  7. Variations improvement

    Can I make some suggestions regarding variations please.

    Include the setup of variations within the New Item process

    Allow more than 5 photos per item, I have resin items that are made in many colours and would need to create almost identical items in the listing to be able to show the customer all the colours

    Link the variation to the photo, i.e. customer choose a red item then show this as the highlighted item, if they then choose a blue one switch the highlighted item to the blue one.

  8. 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…

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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…

  12. 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?

  13. 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.

  15. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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'?

  20. 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'?
