Add a new category called Waxed Canvas under Bags & Purses

2012-05-23T10:55:48-04:00

Jordan White suggested:
Would like to request the addition of a category called WAXED CANVAS under Bags & Purses. I've recently begun selling this awesome fabric, which is comparable to leather, and believe that it's enough different from regular canvas to merit a category of its own. That way, customers wouldn't have to weed through all the canvas bags in order to find it. [It does great on Etsy, but can't even be found on Zibbet.] Would really appreciate some active feedback from ALL. To see an example of what I mean, you need to key in Waxed Canvas under the Handmade searches category. I look forward to your comments and votes! JCW

When I search for an item, such as, handmade sweaters, I would like to see all of them. [updated]

2012-05-21T07:19:05-04:00

I noticed that my items were not showing up when I did a search as a buyer. I have not sold anything yet, and perhaps this is why?

Anonymous said:

I too have not sold a single item. I list my items here exactly like I do on Etsy. From day one I have sold my items on Etsy without spending any more time or money on trying to promote myself. I keep thinking it is the way Zibbet advertises (or doesn't advertise). Etsy seems to be a household word. I never see or hear Zibbet around. As of right now I am pretty sure I will not be renewing my membership when it comes due.

More detailed shop stats such as where the visitor has come from, which pages they viewed, and if they're a returning or new visitor will make keeping track of what is working when advertising a shop on Zibbet much easier.

I joined as a premium member in February this year and spent a lot of money on promotion. Have a many views and e-mail questions......the prominent one is why do they have to register as members before they can buy my items. They commented that there are other sites that do not impose this "ridiculous" rule. I e-mailed Zibbet about this and Jon replied that guest check out is in the works.....can I have a time frame? In the meantime I am losing potential customers !!!
Please make this a priority. I know that as a buyer, I would feel the same way too.
Thanks

Work with MailChimp for integration [updated]

2012-05-12T01:09:08-04:00

MailChimp is, IMHO, the best email newsletter service out there, and free for most of us. (Plus there's the bananas... but I digress...) Did you know they have integration with Etsy (also Amazon, iTunes and some other social selling platforms.) Please take a look at: http://blog.mailchimp.com/autoconnect-templates-for-etsy-amazon-ebay-itunes/ and http://www.scribd.com/doc/68055894/MailChimp-for-Etsy-Sellers... I recently asked someone at MailChimp if they would work with Zibbet for similar integration and they said "Sure!" I think a good many of our members are not too comfortable with newsletters, and maybe this would help them. I had a hard time adding a note to the "Official Big Giant Mailchimp Wishlist" (http://jungle.mailchimp.com/forum/categories/wish-lists/listForCategory) -- but if you think this is worth pursuing (clearly they are open to it and have the know-how) please do consider getting in touch with them!

Have a European Union shipping option. [updated]

2012-05-05T06:33:05-04:00

Could we not have a European Union shipping category? For us European sellers it would very useful. "Everywhere else" would mean buyers in Europe paying the same shipping as those in the US.

JGalante said:

Yes, please! I just entered shipping for each EU country and it was tedious (guess the rest of Europe is just out of luck, because I don't feel like continuing the process). I will probably wait to list additional products until I can set up a shipping profile that doesn't require me to enter each European country individually. "Non-EU Europe" would also be a useful shipping category.

List in different currencies [updated]

2012-05-04T11:44:46-04:00

It would be great if sellers could set the currency they wish to list items in - for example those of us in the UK could list items in GBP and Zibbet then converts these automatically into USD. It would make it much easier for sellers to list items as I have to change mine if there is a big currency fluctuation between GBP and USD to keep them the same as my UK listings. [Admin note: The below has now been split off into a new idea: https://zibbet.uservoice.com/forums/109893-ideas/suggestions/2111293-purchase-browse-in-different-currencies ] Buyers could then choose which currency they view items in too (maybe USD, GBP and AUD to begin with?!) so they know exactly how much they will pay in their local currency.

Lisa said:

Struggling to get comparative prices to my other on-line shops where i use GBP.
also have to research in order to put anywhere near the correct postage. I think I am charging way too much in USD but convert it and am amazed by how little it is!

Shipping costs

2012-04-30T14:17:20-04:00

Fred and Jennifer Scudder suggested:
Is it possible to have a greater choice in the shipping cost area.There are so many variable, USPS for example offer Priority post or First class.the customer should have a choice.Canada post has one price, expensive.I am sure that customers who see the Canadian price would immediately presume the seller is making money on the shipping.Whenever possible we ship from the USA, this is possible as we live 5 minutes from the border. What would be nice is a postage rate chart by country, this would enable prospective customers to see actual charges.No need to break it down by zip codes.postal codes, just a general idea. I may even help with the selling if the customer can see the charges.

Allow payment plans

2012-04-21T12:07:53-04:00

Horsetuna suggested:
I was wondering about allowing payment plans for comission items. For example... a 50 dollar item, you can pay 25 up front, 25 on demand for items 'not yet made'. It helps ensure the buyer isnt out 50 bucks if the seller decides to bail, as well as gives the seller something 'up front' for the work done, kind of a security bond, in case the buyer bails out.

I would like to see more shopping cart options. [updated]

2012-04-21T12:02:56-04:00

I would like to see more shopping cart options. For those of us who sell t-shirts or products with different sizes, this would be most helpful. Under the current shopping cart, guests can place into their cart only the print/style they want. Then only AFTER they checkout can they add notes to their final order in terms of size and long or short sleeve, or personalization etc.. before the order is finalized through Zibbet. Guests like to see exactly what they are ordering DIRECTLY in their shopping cart BEFORE they actually have to check out.

Horsetuna said:

I like this idea. Allow color options too! It would make my yarn shop easier to manage as I do not have 15 near-identical listings where the only difference is color.

Alternate payments (not idea, SUGGESTION)

2012-04-21T11:52:15-04:00

Horsetuna suggested:
Is it possible that Zibbet can start allowing secondary payment sites to be used, such as netteller, hyperwallet, google checkout or ? Paypal recently shut down a friend over an 800 dollar order on Etsy, and is demanding a Utility Bill - which my friend cannot produce because they live in an RV and pay everything with rent. Thus, she is now out 800 dollars. I really dont like giving money to those crooks. At Christmas, they froze up a charity's account - almost ruining christmas for over a hundred families in need. Do we really want to be associated with people like this? This kind of company that doesnt give a darn about its' customers? I hope not. Please allow alternate payments, even slower ones. It should be our choice which we are ok with receiving.

New Category for Supplies [updated]

2012-04-18T16:56:43-04:00

I suggest adding a new category for supplies being discussed in this forum thread http://community.zibbet.com/forum/topics/question-about-commercial-supplies-category I propose that this category would be popular and benefit Zibbet in that it would bring more buyers in. One example is for paper items. The fancy tea envelopes from many better tea brands especially herb teas are being used to make small pouches. For the artist to get the number of tea envelopes he/she would need they would have to spend hundreds of dollars on boxes of tea in different flavors. I drink these teas and have been saving the envelopes for some time to sell on Zibbet. They are not vintage. They are not crafts because they are not yet made into pouches. But some artist would love to buy them since I can sell them for just couple dollars for a pile of them. Therefore I would like to sell them as supplies. Current rules do not allow for this. I also have game pieces, some vintage, some not, and this is a very trendy item that crafters use to make jewelry. Watch parts such as gears are another popular. If there is a concern that yard sale items would then be listed because someone might say, "I think a crafter can use this old couch if they clean the stains and remove the dog hair and turn it into a planter," then the category could be for small items only that fit into a padded envelope or a small or medium size flat rate box. I feel it would be a very popular category, would increase the number of items listed on Zibbet and bring in more buyers. If you agree click the vote button. Judy

NicolesVisions said:

I agree as well ! Not only would I love to be able to buy pieces parts of who knows what to create something spectacular, but I would love a place to list all the things I've saved that I know have life left as a part of something new. Whether its taking something apart or just finding an old(er) something that could be used for something else entirely, this would be great & much more connects the theme of a handmade marketplace. BTW ... this would be much more appropriate than having Vintage on the site.

Holy cow I would love to have a good place to regularly buy things like gears, watch parts and all sorts of other little things to use for the things I make. Trying to find any little things to put into my craft pieces is really hard where I live. There's like walmart here for art & crafting supplies and that is ludicrously limited, ludicrous especially because they have very little competition for art & crafting supplies around here and this is the sort of area where lots of people make stuff.

I wish I could think of more of the little items I'd love to be able to acquire for my crafting, but I'm drawing a blank even though I know there's tons. TONS. Among other things I like to make bead & wire charms, sometimes adding them to larger pieces, sometimes intending them to go as is, and being able to get something like them gears & watch parts or whatever to enhance them with would be stellar. I tend to do things like fantasy, sci fi, horror, goth & steampunk stuff especially so having a place to find little things to give it that nice extra touch is pretty needed by me.

Or did they do a search in Google and the item came up? Did a friend tell them about my shop? Did they just find one of those business cards "someone" left in a restroom?
