Vintage and Supplies: Community Chatt, May 16, 2008

Hi there Sellers!

Last Friday's Virtual Labs' Community Chatt with Matt was about the new default search and its effect on Vintage and Supplies.

Please see the minutes of the Vintage and Supplies Chatt to see what we talked about!

 
This Week's Chatt with Matt

Time and Place: 12 noon, Eastern US in the Treehouse Room of the Virtual Labs. Times on the Virtual Labs Lobby are displayed in your local time.

Topic:
Commercial Supplies and Vintage: Your Ideas about These Marketplaces

We would like to get input from the community on how the Supplies and Vintage marketplaces should be organized. In this workshop, we will be brainstorming with you on your ideas for these marketplaces. We will also be taking subcategory and sub-subcategory suggestions that we may be able to implement immediately!

Agenda:
We'll ask questions about how to organize the Vintage marketplace.

We'll ask questions about how to organize the Supplies marketplace.

For both of these, we are looking for info on who you think your customers are and your opinions on the most important ways to break your category down into "sections."

Vintage Supplies: do you think they belong in Supplies or Vintage? 

We will take suggestions for subcategories and sub-subcategories that can be added under Supplies or Vintage immediately.

About Community Chatt With Matt:
Each week Etsy admin Matt invites you to join us for a live, online discussion of topics of interest to the Etsy community. Our intention is to give buyers and sellers alike the opportunity to speak directly and candidly to Etsy Admin. We listen, take notes, and make sure that everybody who wants to gets a chance to speak. We can always be reached at community@etsy.com with more ideas and suggestions.

You can view minutes from past meetings HERE.

I'm unable to be there due to work commitments, but as a vintage seller I'm very interested in any and all developments!

Oh! I can't be there--tomorrow is 28 miles of vintage sales in my area... but I'll be checking the minutes.

the Marketplace discussion should have taken place before the major changes to the default search and loss of description search for vintage and supplier.

There should have been a clear business plan of when and how all of this was to be implemented before changes happened.

This is a community but its also a business.

Stalling for time I think?
