Is this still using IMs or are we forced to go to email. I want to keep my arfcom on arfcom and not on email. The system will email users notifications as well as IM but no communication between users will go to email and will continue to stay in IM. That system is high on the list for a major overhaul to help make IMs easier to use. It would be nice to see a tutorial, so we don't get fucked into bad feedback because the new system is weird. IMO, since this is now a fee system a detailed tutorial should be expected. There are two help pages which cover things if you hover over the help button on the new system. One is generic EE type help and the other is a how to. I believe one or both are linked in the OP. Gripes: Looking at ad creations, this seems to have taken much of the spirit of a classifieds section away. Way too formal. IMO the accepting offers button should go away as offers are always a thing. You don't have to accept. Also, the shipping information needs to either change or go away as it is cost prohibitive to ship non flat rate items to Alaska or Hawaii. I guess I can't sell a hat to anyone in Canada. Not sure what we're trying to get at here. Ads will be standardized now to be easy to read and see what you are getting. The offer button allows users to make an offer that I buy an item, either for a fixed price or accepting offers listing style. The seller can review all offers for a listing and decide which to accept. Power resides with you. For shipping , it’s again up to you. You can choose to put restrictions in your ad in where you will ship and what methods you want to use. |

GoatBoy, are there plans to make a "nested" listing setup in a single ad (for similar items that are different makes/prices)? There are folks out there who group multiple related items together in a single ad, which helps declutter the listings, and also helps to combine shipping/offer a better deal.
You can still use the new interface, but have a button to "add new item" or something, and fill out the form the same way you normally do. The new listing method is a direct contrast to the guidance in EE#1 (In order to keep the EE clean, we ask that you combine related items into single ads when appropriate, rather than creating an ad for each related item) If something like this isn't implemented, the guy that has 6 random $10-$20 AR grips is going to make 6 different ads and spam the board with them. |

I don’t want to get booted for just saying I hate it (which I do), so I’ll expound on it.
What I like most about forum buying/selling is that it’s not formal like eBay or a website. I just type some stuff out and then 2 guys make a deal. I’m not sure why it needed to be changed entirely after all this time. Also just to note I’m not an old guy who hates change, I’m early 30s and will begrudgingly figure out the new system and give it a try. If you guys wanted to make more money off it you could have just implemented some kind of fee structure vs changing the whole thing. Seems like a lot of time spent designing something nobody was asking for. Also I will agree about the lack of a way to do “parts bin clean out” type sales. There should be a way to list multiple things in the same ad, that seems like a big waste of space on the site and my time having to list multiple 10 dollar items rather than just putting them all together. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By awdsuperstar: I just listed an item for sale. I received a message saying someone accepted the price. So I had to message them and ask how they wanted to pay.

Users put offers to buy and can’t just buy an item and lock the ad. You need to accept an offer for the deal to be made. So all of this can be hashed out before you accept to sell to a user.

You can find the a lot of the same brand, same condition items at any given time in either category. Examples, Surefire weapon lights are listed in both. Maybe make one lights, one accessories. Or one weapon mounted lights/lasers, and one other. Or just consolidate? |

I agree with so many others that the old system was simple and it worked. I understand that need or desire to make more money but adding it to the old system would have been so much better. This formal "accept offers" system seems ass as it was easily done via IM but I guess it has to be this way if down the line fees will be assessed to everyone based on a sold price.
Tacswap went to a a CC charge verification system yet scammers are still there. Based on what I have read so far it seems like the new system here will be very similar to theirs as it relates to how ads get created and posted. Over there you get a certain number of ads for a basic fee. I hope this new system here will carry over the old rule about not allowing people to piss in peoples ads. Tacsawp is a free for all cesspool regarding that. Sniper Hide use to have a minimum post count to sell but took it to another level with insane fees to sell. Like the old saying goes their business their rules. It is what it is and I guess we will see if this moves tanks the best EE on the net. |

That's crazy. We have thought about items like mags and need to find a solution that makes sense, but you are right for some items a higher quantity is logical. Right now the plan would be to re-list the ad once it's sold. Users can also sell them as a lot, if you had 10 mags you were selling as a single listing. "Pack of 10 Magpul Gen1 Magazines (Black)". The best long term solution would be to limit quantity based on item value. So an item of less than $10 can have a max quantity of 20, but an item of $10-$20 has a quantity limit of 10. We will play around with it and see what makes sense. The simpler answer would be to allow certain categories of the EE to have different quantity limits.

My only request so far: Can you PLEASE finally change the search feature to allow two characters instead of the minimum of three? You already rate limit it, so it can't be TOO bad.
 It's funny to hear all the old-timers saying that "the old system was better". I've been around long enough to hear this; not only on this site, but many others, for ANY change made. I remember when this site went to the current layout and you'd have thought based on the comments that Armageddon had arrived. All changes suck, but from a data and management point of view, the new system will be infinitely better, safer, easier and all around better - it will just take some time to get used to it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GoatBoy: WTB / WTT are no longer limited to a single category so now you list it in the category you want. This allows easy filtering/searching and to see them all, you can click on the button at the top for the type of sale you are looking for. (WTB for example.) This is a terrible idea. Very few people want to wade through a bunch of WTB/WTT ads (90% of which are garbage anyway, some guy wanting to buy a correct IHC Garand for $500) to see the items for sale. I've already caught two ads that were reported for this today. Please put WTB back like it was, there was a reason they are segregated. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CTM1: I agree with so many others that the old system was simple and it worked. I understand that need or desire to make more money but adding it to the old system would have been so much better. This formal "accept offers" system seems ass as it was easily done via IM but I guess it has to be this way if down the line fees will be assessed to everyone based on a sold price. Yep. Offers and bargaining back and forth are discussions amongst people, not playing ebay games. A workaround I guess is to just use fixed price, and then put right up top in the ad that "offers will be considered-just IM me". Or just do fixed price and let it sort it's self out. I also just previewed a test ad with a 0 price. I guess if we do that it drives someone to read the ad. IMO, it looks like a great sales platform for simple things. 1 $5 bill. Price 5.68. More complicated stuff, time and feedback will tell. |

EE search still sucks ass. There's still no way to filter out threads which have been marked as sold. More annoyingly, search results don't even show the "SOLD" prefix for threads, even though that data exists, since it gets shown when you open a thread.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By VacaDuck: You should also require a minimum of 100 posts on the forum to be able to use the EE. That is another way to cut down on scammers. This only works if mods get to work using the banhammer more for worthless/pointless "+1" post-whoring (which, don't get me wrong, I'd be all for.) Otherwise it's not much of an impediment. |

Why mess with the easiest EE to use on the web, and instead uncomplicate the terrible search engine for the entire site, which has been a peoblem since forever?

@GoatBoy
Also please bring back the EE RSS feeds, at least for Team members. I used to be able to set up my RSS reader to alert me when something was posted for sale that I was interested in, and then a couple years ago the RSS feeds got removed. Periodically searching manually for stuff is dumb when I used to be able to just set a rule and forget about it until I got a match. |

Looks good so far!
Please add a way to add more photo's. Many times more than 5 is needed. I've been replying to my own ad's if more than 5 are needed. |
