We didn't make any "new feature" post for a while, so here we go again! "Front page listing bidding"
We now allow vendors to bid for one of the 6 front page spots available for listings. Featured listings will be on the front page for 15 days. For example, now is June 30th, so bids are open for the July 1st - 15th spot. Vendors wanting to make their listings more visible can click in the designated zone on the index page and place their bids. Minimum USD $100. If you are outbid, you can increase your bid, or retract yourself. There are no fees and no risk, as if you are outbid, you can safely change your mind.
If, on the 1st or the 15th of the month at 12:00 PM (Moscow Time), you are among the 6 highest bidders, your listing will be made public on the front page, otherwise your balance will simply be returned (again, you can manually cancel and get your funds back before the end).
This will bring more competition among vendors desiring to get visibility for their products.
We also offer sticky listings. In your Listings page, you can click Promote button, and you can select the duration that you wish to make the listing sticky. When a listing is sticky, it will appear at the top of the search results whenever it matches the search criteria defined by the user. The prices are as follow:
Sticky 7 days: USD $120
Sticky 15 days: USD $180
Sticky 30 days: USD $300
That's all for today, more stuff coming soon.
This sounds like Amazon Dark! Has the code been tested for these features?
