Folksy Review count

Shop Talk
1

I was looking at something on my Pinterest page and noticed that the pin I was looking at showed “630 reviews” .
That puzzled me as I had no idea how many reviews I have as the figure, as far as I know, doesn’t show anywhere and neve bothered to count how many pages, reviews per page there are and don’t believe the review count shows anywhere (except oddly on Pinterest against my Folksy pins :slight_smile: :slight_smile: )
I now know. There are 60 reviews per page, irrespective of how many items per review and the length of the review text and I have 11 pages worth. Thank you to all my wonderful customers for that.

PS Was further confused when I checked another and another and the figure went up… Ah ha 3 reviews added while I pondered :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
PPS The first is from a sale 21st July 2009 so they are over a considerable length of time :rofl: :rofl:

PS I just checked @dotterypottery as I know you must have lots and lots being as old a Folkser as me and you have even more. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: A hint to get to the last page more quickly.
If from the first page you scroll to the second you can see the page number (2) in the url so you change that… in your case try 15… if you go too high (after the last page) it says it can’t find you…

I never knew there was a counter for reviews! I must admit I don’t really use pinterest very often anymore, I did use it more when I was doing the daily listing challenge every day.

Just went and checked mine @JOYSofGLASS Joy - that was a very useful tip about changing the page number in the URL - I got to page 19! It was really nice looking back through old items that I had sold, some of them seem ludicrously awful now :rofl: but the buyers seemed pleased enough back in the day!

I don’t go into Pinterest much either but do pin my glass on there quite often as I get a good number of views from there. I just thought it really funny that Pinterest had the review count for my shop and I didn’t :slight_smile:
PS that url count trick can be used anywhere the page number shows and you want to jump along… ie. If you are looking through archived listings to find something from a few years ago, you can sort into date order but only get I think to page 9 and then in lumps of 4 or 5 using the arrows but if you change the url you can get a long way a lot quicker
:slight_smile:

That is really handy to know. Sometimes I look at my sold items but jumping along by the arrows is so annoying!
One thing I could kick myself for is that I used to delete listings when I had finished with them but then the photo disappears from reviews, sold listings etc. I just hide things I’m finished with now so that they are still out there in the ether! I also used to re-list some items with a new photo when it was a similar item but now I just copy the old listing instead.
