Out of the list of requested features that we got from veteran sellers of other gadget trading community sites, two of the most requested – and we think are big wins – are:
- Image Attachments
- Additional Categories
When posting an item, we’re now letting you attach up to 4 images for your item. For now, we’re limiting the file size of each image to 200kb, and only accepting JPEG images. These are temporary limits while we’re still working on modifying the feature to upload attached images to ImageShack. When we get this done, image hot linking shouldn’t be a problem either.
Because of the additional of images, the front page and the catalog pages (search and browse) now require a new look, which can include thumbnails. We’re working on this, and we think we’ll push the ImageShack update first since it’ll greatly help shave off some of the bandwidth requirements for the page.
For the additional categories, we added the following:
- Notebook Parts & Accessories
- Notebook Repair Services
- Printer Ink & Cartridges
- Pocket Media Players & Accessories
- Digital Camera Accessories
- Games
- Applications Software
More categories may be added, depending on the number of users needing them. Eventually, the category list on the left side will require a new layout so it doesn’t stretch the page too much.
