Hi everyone! I am new to eCrater. I kind of stumbled upon it and decided to try and make a home here. I've been selling on Ebay for a short time but quickly tired of getting nickled and dimed to death! I have a consignment style shop and sell new and gently owned clothing. Still getting the hang of it and haven't made any sales yet but hoping things will pick up soon. Anyway, just wanted to say hello. I've been checking out other Ecrater stores and this seems like a really cool place to buy and sell.[/i]

This is so strange. How come I can see your products in Random Products on homepage and am able to access the product page when clicking on them, but when I click on Categories nothing appears in the categories ( http://headsthreads.ecrater.com/category.php By the way you made a Dresses sub-category under Dresses category. In Categories if you click on the name of the category that opens the category. That way if you enter a new category it will be subcategory of that category. Use the edit buttons to edit categories not clicking on their names.). Confused

Are you doing a bulk upload at the moment?

Why is it showing "My Products" category when you haven't created one in your categories? Wonder if that is part of bulk upload or something you did on your own.

LOL, I have been having a problem with the whole category thing, even after reading the tutorials. Anything that was done in regards to that was quite accidental! I haven't tried the bulk listing yet. Was hoping to master the category business first. Wink

Is there anyplace someone who is a little slow like me could go to get help, or do you have any suggestions? Everything else was easy.

Thank you for all the warm welcomes!

It looks considerably different now. Did you remove the "My Products" category or something? Or move some of your listings into your other local categories? Because now they are showing up in your categories page (although I could swear you had far more items that what is showing now).

Wonder maybe if eCrater was moving things around or something. Confused

Anyway, you still might want to delete the dresses subcategory under your dresses category.

Here is the topic with manuals (some may be a bit dated): http://www.ecrater.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=3752

If you haven't the topic on top of this section of the forum that new sellers should read, read that. That is a very useful topic: http://www.ecrater.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=7227

I did figure out how to put things into categories after my last post, and I removed the dress sub-category. I'm going to go check out the manuals and try to figure out a few more things. Thanks again for all the warm welcomes.
