Daily Listing Challenge and Group Promotion Thread February 2025

Thanks for the info Mina @theslothscavern . The ones I saw were four of the same seller on the same page or the next and some pages had two or so sellers with four items on one page, so that way you have less chance of being seen in the first few pages. I guess they thought that was reasonable.

Congratulations on your sale Judith @judyrowleyart and to Sue @Susieshackletontextiles and Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery for making the best sellers list. Happy dancing all round :dancer:

Yes I had 4 items at the end but all together on page 12 Judy @judyrowleyart! Perhaps it’s something we could ask them to change next time they do an event if they can to make it a bit fairer.

Hello,

What a glorious day - I’ve been doing some gardening so only managing a relist. Just eaten my lunch outside in the sun, the birds are singing and there are bees buzzing about the viburnham.

Congratulations on appearing on the best seller list Sue @Susieshackletontextiles and Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery

Thanks for the lovely review Nikki @GlintBeads

Right, back to the weeds…

Did you relist your items when you edited them for the sale? I think this might have moved mine forward, I can’t be sure though.
When I first edited my 4 items they were spread out, once I relisted them , they were all grouped together near the front.

@kokoblue The event pages aren’t usually random, they’re ordered by recency of listing, so if you relist an item that’s in the event then it’ll move to the first page (although there might be a little delay as the event pages are updated once an hour).

It’s the sections on the homepage that are usually randomised. That’s easy to set up because it just brings up a few items from a certain page, but once you click through to the full page you’ll find the items are ordered (again usually by recency) and don’t change on refresh. This is because the items have to be ordered somehow when we’re showing the full results. If it constantly gave a random result, once you click through to the second page of results it might show some items that you’d already seen on the first page, and you’d never be sure if you had seen all the results because every time you move to the next page it’d be a new random selection. It’d be really frustrating as a buyer, and particularly if you spotted something you wanted to go back to and then couldn’t find it again.

That’s really helpful Kim @kimfolksy, thank you. That all makes complete sense and I’ll know next time what I need to do, that is if my old brain remembers :joy:.

What a beautiful day. Done lots of jobs in the garden but maybe a bit early for some of the things I’ve done. Spring tends to be a bit later in Scotland
A little sale purse today

Evening all, it’s gotten chilly again, sitting here freezing while catching up. May have a bath later to warm up.

Thanks for thinking of me Hilary :blush: I’m ok but still being limited by my horrendous cough. Current consensus from my ENT consultant and my Respiratory consultant (who I saw today) is that I have silent reflux (acid reflux but with no symptoms such as heartburn, so you’re unaware it’s even happening). Apparently my voice box is inflamed which indicates acid reflux is damaging my throat and causing the cough. Respiratory consultant has ruled out pulmonary fibrosis and COPD, but wants to do some tests for asthma (although neither she nor I think it’s asthma).

I’ve been making a few bits and have loads of unlisted stock from last year to get into my shop, so I’m hoping to join in next month, all being well xx
