I would like the customer to be able to see how many time an item has been re listed.
When customers look at things in Folksy shops they have no indication how long ago the item was made. People want to have the newest and freshest ideas and not 'old' stock, that may be looking a bit tired.
This can only improve the reputation of Folksy for having wonderful new inventive ideas, keep Folksy shopkeepers refreshing their stocks regularly and have contented customers who are not disappointed with what they receive through the post, which is bought, don't forget after only seeing a photo.I think it's better to get something that is better than you expected than less…

Please add the ability to filter by location of item.
I would like to be able to get things made by artisans local to the area, not only for purposes of shipping cost/time, but also as a way to discover nearby businesses or businesses in areas I will be traveling in. Additionally, as some items are custom made, knowing that the seller is local gives the opportunity to do fittings or to see items in person.

How do I sell jewellery sets?
I want to sell a matching set of jewellery (necklace, earrings and bracelet), but only seem to be able to select individual categories. Is it possible to group them all together and sell as a set?

Could Folksy do something similar to Etsy, where it is easy to see other sellers' favourite items/shops? Helps with ideas for buying!
On Etsy you can see what other sellers and buyers have favourited (items and shops). I find this really helpful - you often come across items you would never have found otherwise, especially if you find someone with similar tastes to yours. Could Folksy do something like this? If you find a shop you like, the chances are the seller will have favourited other items you will like and might want to buy.

Please can you fix it to have "Pearl" as a category in Jewellery/bracelets? Thanks!
I can post pearl items in "Earrings" and "Pendants & Necklaces", but not in "Bracelets" which is a bit odd (and rather frustrating as I make pearl bracelets)

'All' should not be a subcategory
I have just noticed that when listing an item, 'All' is a subcategory option. As a buyer, if I select 'All' within a category, I expect to see just that - all the items within the category, not just those that have been added to a subcategory called 'All'.
Please can you sort this out, as the way things stand at the moment I will have to list everything twice to stand half a chance of being found by buyers - once under the correct category (i.e. jewellery - earrings - glass) and once under 'All' (jewellery - earrings -…

Remove edit sold items
Click on a sold item and to the right of the image is 'edit this item'. I used this feature as I thought it was a way to copy a sold item. Unfortunately my sold item now has the same details as my new listing.
It shouldn't be possible to change a listing once it has sold. It could lead to confusion and may look dishonest.

New Jewellery Category
Please consider adding "Fine Silver" as a materials category for those of us who work in silver clay - its 99% pure silver, Sterling is 92.5%!

Add a Phone Number field to sales area for Buyers
Just a thought after the recent buyer problems.
I think you should make the buyer leave a phone number, that way any problem could be resolved quite quickly over the phone.

I would like to see different lists for 'just listed' (new items) and 're listed' (re listed or expired items)
People will bulk re list because they can on the folksy plus plan, if the public could see only new items 'just listed' it would be fairer for the sellers who a) don't list very much b) don't bulk re list on principal and give a more realistic view of the site to purchasers.
In this way constantly seeing the same things over and over could be avoided which would make the Folksy home page much more interesting.

A specific category for woodcraft and particularly woodturning would be a huge improvement
The search system will not find my woodturning as there is no specific woodcraft category and I'm sure that this is the reason behind the low viewing numbers. If customers are looking for wooden bowls for example they are really difficult to find. There seems little point in re-listing my items as without a specific category nobody can find them

How about a basket for each shop?
I understand the 'continue shopping' thing was removed (although I don't agree with the reasons), but I feel it should be included as an in-shop feature. When I buy supplies from a Folksy shop and want to add more items, hitting the 'back' button to do so is not intuitive. It feels, as a user, that I might lose my existing items. I still persevere, and it works but it's off-putting from a general user perspective.

Bulk postage edit. Please show stock levels.
When bulk editing my postal rates I found it showed all my current, unexpired, items including those out of stock.
This was very confusing as I often have several listings for the same 'design', one of which is the current, the others, older versions, are already sold.
This meant I then inadvertently increased the postal charges on several listings which I have sold (at a lower postal rate).Please can you show the stock level against each listing so that we can easily see which are current (stock > 0) and which are sold (stock 0).

A new category for Sale items
Although there is now a category for Folksy Sale, this is chosen by Folksy. I think particularly at this time of year, sellers are missing the opportunity to clear back items and put some fresh new stock in their shops. If each defined area, e.g. Jewellery, home, etc. also had a Sale section, I think this would be helpful.

Please have a category for Cake toppers eg. Food art under Sculpture or a Confectionary section not just under weddings
Please have a category for Cake toppers eg. Food art under Sculpture or a Confectionary section not just under weddings as that is very limiting and is under the wrong sectoin.

Woodturning and Crochet
Hi,
My husband has a woodturning site, but has to sprea all his items around.Please can you at least ass a "WOOD" items category.
I sell crochet items and am totally frustrated that there is a "KNITTING" category which I have to put my items in and not a "CROCHET" category.
Please can you add these categories as there are a lot of us that are in need of them and would help us promote our items to the right people.
Thanks
