On behalf of the admin team, I want to thank all who provided feedback to the earlier thread on this topic and provide you a update as promised. The admin team met today for our weekly meeting. As you might guess the current debate was central to the discussion. Based upon your feedback we have decided that there certainly is room for improvement in the Merchant Agreement/Product Upload form. This is being revised and will be completed by the end of next week. We will attempt to address those areas that have been pointed out as lacking or unclear. The merchant forum has never been directly associated with the selling process here. We thought it would be great for merchants to have a private place to share information among each other and where we could easily share with them as well. Overtime, we found that this forum became more negative than helpful and it seemed to be associated with some who had competing outside interests. We made a decision to remove merchant forum access for those who had vested interest in other stores. We are reviewing the criteria for removal of merchant forum access and expect to have that compete by the end of next week as well. We have had our share of missteps relative to rolling out new features/programs and will likely have the occassional foobar in the future. We try to look at all sides of the equation when implementing something new, but sometimes it is hard to see all sides. The intent has always been to improve the community and serve the members. We hope that if you weight the good and the bad, that the good carries the day most of the time. Tim
