new store search is HORRIBLE!
the new store search is Horrible! if i had not of already closed my two stores - this new idiotic format would have certainly made me do so. People pay here to have a store and a search that actually works is needed in order to have a store here - is this a plot to direct buyers to the few main stores here?.. this is totally insane.. i say this as a buyer! i just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out why i was being redirected away from the store i was trying to search and buy from. My conclusion was this was designed by a pre teen programmer? If the store owners here have not tested this out... take my advise and spend 30 minutes testing out the stores here and the new search bar that was forced on all the stores on this site. I had a 10% return on actually having the store i was searching.. give results. the rest directed me to universal results.. in other words screwing the store owner i was trying to buy from. I will say any beginner programmer can create a working search that actually works.. this is an embarrassment to this site.. we are talking about basic 101 programming.

That in it self will make customers move to another site and sellers will loose sales and their customers.
It should be made sticky just like the HipStamp logo and the search box (which will wipe out what a buyer had put in it when the page finally fully loads).
Another problem I am seeing is that the PayPal script on a listing will not fully load until the stuff on the header fully loads.
Very bad programming.
And I have been to other sites and I’m staying here. But I didn’t come here for slick coding examples. Just stamps and good information on them. Which I have found here in spades.
To each his own I guess.
I use a desktop and many of my customers use a desktop and have complained to me about the problems I have mentioned above.
I have told them to contact HipStamp about the problem but nothing has happened.
It is a simple fix but I guess that the management does not want to do anything about it.
Wish they'd quit fixing what isn't broken.
Yes you are correct.
These new programmers do not know what proper coding is.
Ok...let the whacking begin! I'm a big boy...I can take it. This shouldn't take long I would expect. C'mon man!!!!
as for the rude remark "if you don't like it leave" well believe me that can happen.. and it will be the buyers that leave. Speaking out about the insane policies on this site for the past year is going to happen. including the sync issues that NEVER were fixed , and were charged for as it was included with the membership cost for sellers. anyone have an idea what owner suppression of concerns result in.. try looking at Delcampe. it also , once was a nice site till they went police state. they lost 90% of their buyers.
It's not what you're saying, it's how you're saying it.
all the boot licking sellers there eventually turned on Sebastion as their sales went to zero after the buyers left. it took about a year. its now a private members only club for anti USA customers :-)
You are right, there is a risk then that if you just ignore everything, that people may move on. I just don't think that your ranting is helping your cause. You've already closed both of your stores. The things you don't like may not be an issue for others at all. Change is also easier to accept for some than others.
You're a brother, Jerry. I've seen you be a great contributor, and you have a lot to offer. Maybe focus on that?
and speaking of feedback.. that was the biggest scam ever perpetuated on the buyers ever and done to help the owner's store. As well as to hide negative and neutral feedback via massive dilution with no method installed to see bad feedback except going through thousands of pages of fake feedback.
you should be honored that i and others are willing to post here from our busy life's to complain about the insane polices here. saying nothing would suit the few that are left here in this museum of overpriced, miss identified inventory of a site
"i buy here now.. thats it."
Interesting dichotomy...
(and for readers who read about countries received orders from) - My Post Office boss kindly told me I had a letter this morning - ooooohhhh how how exciting I thought... but no it was one I mailed on 21 May 2021. yes a year ago.. returned very good customer in fact who has bought twice sine this order.. they live in Chile. returned undelivered why well we will never know ... great feedback though..... say no more, say no more :-) nudge nudge :-) have a lovely day everyone.
