Digitrade 10 Posted January 13, 2011 When you look at the "What's Hot" section on the Home page, it only features Auction items that reached the "hot" and "red hot" stages. Why do the Buy Now items that have sold a lot and reached this stages, not feature in that category? We list Buy Now items and pay for Highlighted, Priority and Featured listings, but do not get the additional exposure on the "What's Hot" pages! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPBon 10 Posted January 13, 2011 I agree Digi perhaps items that have been viewed many times should also get there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinyl Lady Decals 11 Posted January 13, 2011 As far as I'm aware, Hot and Red Hot are governed by the number of bids. If an item has two bids it goes Hot, if it has four, it goes Red Hot. If the system is automatic as it probably is, it won't take other factors into consideration as it wasn't created to look at other factors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digitrade 10 Posted January 13, 2011 No, it is not governed by the amount of bids only. Everywhere on the site you will find "Buy Now" listings that are Hot and Red Hot, Look at the items I am selling. The very first listing had a Hot sign after the first two sales, and Red Hot after the fourth sale. These items should then feature under the "What's Hot"-section.

Vinyl Lady Decals 11 Posted January 13, 2011 True, don't they? I thought everything that reached Hot and Red Hot was there. Buy Now Items should definitely also be listed there then if they sell more than one item. That's not really fair, is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digitrade 10 Posted January 13, 2011 That's not really fair, is it? Not fair at all! This should definately change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinyl Lady Decals 11 Posted January 13, 2011 Definitely, all sellers should get the same basic exposure whether they ave auctions or buy nows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MacMuffin Posted January 17, 2011 Still waiting for an answer on this issue? It's there - happy paging, this doubled the number of items for What's Hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digitrade 10 Posted January 17, 2011 It's there - happy paging, this doubled the number of items for What's Hot. THANK YOU! The filter option is still there for the users that only want to view the Auctions. This will definately boost sales for buyers with "Buy Now" listings, which means a bigger income for you as well.
