The Merchants are an important part of the site (go figure, the money keeps the site running). They have a vested interest in it. Their requests, of course, weighed heavily in that decision. I was going to let that comment go, but I just couldn't. That comment is a really good way of starting an "us vs. them" controversy again. I'm sure you didn't mean to imply that the customers and the community as a whole is less important then the merchants, at least I hope not. The "merchants" are important, but it's not their money that makes the site run, it's the customer's money. You don't get that percentage from the merchant in the form of cash, you get it from the customer. I would think that having an option of changing colors to please the customers would be just as important as pleasing the merchants. You have people saying that because of the new changes, they aren't going to purchase here anymore...I think that would definately interest the merchant also. Even if it's one, that is important. Having an option would be a good marketing strategy I would think. The other thing to take into consideration, by and large this is a community of artistically inclined people, so what a market research company thinks is good for Ebay et al,may not exactly be good for an artistic community. In any case, glad the PTB's and the merchants are happy about it....because as a high volume customer I'm sure not. Pendarian
