New WERA Classifieds Site Launched

no grammar nazi's yet huh....WHETHER

 

Matter,
I believe I read the original site will still show the classified section as is and when you click on something it will re-direct you to the new site. If I read that right and that's the way it works I don't see why there would be less traffic as long as people are posting ads.

 

I believe he is saying the current classifieds will be eliminated as a selling tool by 3/21

 

are you saying a new listing will create a new thread in the appropriate section with a link on the bbs?

 

The new site sucks ass to navigate thru to the point I threw in the towel and gave up. I'm not thrilled at the pay to post but it is what it is. Too bad there wasn't a way for you to keep the classified here and charge. I know several sites that make you pay for a membership in order to even see the classifieds. I honestly think doing it that way would give you the money you're looking for and keep the popularity of the site up.

 

I already find myself trolling around more on other sites and ebay.

+1 for the old classifieds with a fee. Problem solved.

 

Clicked on the link and it said server could not be found. Maintenance or something else?

 

I have no problem with the new site & think it will prosper & understand the reasoning behind the change. Very low cost to be able to target a specific market. I tried to post a add & found that I could only pay through PAYPAL. Many people have had good luck with them, I have not :down: & will not use paypal again! Is there any other way for me to participate without paypal?

 

You aren't accepting payment for your item through Paypal... you're paying for your ad listing through it. So your "bad luck" using them to receive money is not an issue...

And you don't have to have a Paypal account... you can pay using your credit/debit card on the Paypal page without even signing into their site...

So... no... that's how we receive payment on the site.

 

+1^

I find the new site counter-intuitive. Each page has very few links on it.....so you have to scroll thru pages and pages, way more than if they were listed on the beeb...There's no way to PM? When you reply to an ad, it just drops your reply underneath the ad for all to see? SO everyone on the board gets to see the deal you are working on with a specific user. That isn't right either.

It has an awkward feel and look to it, like those generic search engines and Alibaba type crap, or redirect pages from Indonesia, supposedly helping you find the lowest price on stuff you are googling.

I race, and have spent a small fortune in the past few yrs shopping used and new stuff on this board, bought from your racers and with your site supporters (in the past month alone, nearly $2K with RD, another $1K+ from racers), but am not in the USA (or WERA) , so WTF do I know I guess.

 

Old site good. New site not look like old site. New site bad. Change bad. No like change. Want see boobies.

Seriously, the only problem I'm having is I keep searching for "What are you looking for?" because I hit the drop down in the upper right and then the section (make, whatever), then the magnifying glass and it gets no results (because it's searching for "What are you looking for?"). If I delete the 'What are you searching for?" and leave it blank, I get a 'whoops' error message. Is there a way to jump from an ad to the 'Ducati' section (for example) directly without going back to 'Home' first? Or can that "What are you searching for?" autofill be removed and a null search just return all results in that category you're searching?

...or is it user error like always? (Beyond the fact that I keep forgetting to delete the "What are you looking for?" fill. I mean can you jump from an ad to a different section without going through the home screen first and I haven't figured out how yet.)

Edit: nevermind. Hover over categories, hit the dropdown. I'm, uh, sure that hasn't been there for the past few days.

As I write this I'm thinking I better be careful don't want to make the administrator mad and get booted! I traded, just recently my race bike for street here (heart surgery) and I check every day postings in the classifieds (I get my daily email) and then I jump into the forums to read what real racers post and love it, now I won't get may daily dose of dreams and if I do I won't be able to contact the seller and talk about his or her bike, check ebay I can post classifieds for free and that's the last place Ill go 2, full of scammers, I really don't think is going to work for you, I belong to a few forums and they make there money from ads or donations, what you guys need is a good sales department, why fix it if it's working, come to think I might open my own forum www.faztbikez.com

 

Omrra here we come

 

See ya'.
