Also, since we implemented the new marketplace -- even without the improvements we're making -- it's already seeing more listings than the old one

Oh look.. i go to find just “jets” and 2 items pop up.
I go to find just “turbine” 2 items pop up.
I go to browse through the engines section only. Nothing on page 1 of interest, lets go to page 2. But WAIT! It sends me to airplanes.
Lets try again.. SAME THING Happens.
Search, sucks
filters, Suck
if you want to make this thing “pretty” atleast keep the subcategories like the old marketplace had. We dont need a refined search category, we want SUB CATEGORIES! This isnt craigslist, its a very small market of people who are looking for items in very specific categories that the old marketplace worked very well in sorting out.

FEEDBACK.
I Can't mark an item sold. I click the "listing Tools" bar,
Then I click the "Mark listing as sold" button and when I click the "Perform Action" button nothing happens?
Thanks

Shoot man go easy they'll have some sort of brake down with all that common sense all at one time... this perfectly demonstrates the 6 P's... "Piss Poor Planning Prevents Proper Performance"

I keep hoping -in vane that things will get fixed. But this is just a mess. Hey Obi Wan why do add posting dates get rearranged every time you pull up the classifieds. I see ads for 3/23 mixed in with today. There is no posting order that is maintained from page to page it keeps getting reset. In the airplane section pages 2,3,4 all the ads are the same. Oh my.

How you guys looked at the new system and thought "Yeah.. this is solid.. let's release it!" is beyond me. It's nowhere close to what the original system was in terms of basic capability, let alone all the useful aspects of the old system for seller security and peace of mind. Incredibly poor decision making at RCU these days.

More about "new and improved" RCU site... NOT
Hello, it would appear.. so far.. that RCU has turned into, primarily, a social media website. For years, I have utilized the classifieds area of the site, with minimal on the forum side of the site. I am probably not seeing something; however, in this new version, I am not seeing ways to drill down in a category. In the previous site, I could pick, for example "airplane", then drill down to "jets", then drill down to "turbine". Now, all I can get to is "airplanes". If there is not something that I am not seeing, this is going to render this site useless to me. Additionally, not seeing the obvious links to setting up a favorite search, wishlists, etc.... Any help would be appreciated (was supposed to be easier?)
I hope you... RCU developers.... will take all this feedback seriously, and do something about. A previous posting said to look for examples of where things have been pulled back.. The obvious one was Coke.. that was mentioned previous.. The other that I believe was similar, but not actually pulled back was "Windows 8". they some after had to create a way of making it act like Windows 7... Most people kept 7, until they came out with Windows 10 (at least in the corporate world).
enough of my rambling... sure someone will have something to say about it.......

Perhaps given time I will learn how to navigate the new format. I think I finally got the postings limited to "airplanes", but there were a goodly number of postings that were otherwise, i.e., jet fuel etc. When I tried opening the third page the site displayed its rotating circle, and after three minutes I gave up.
I would echo the comments of others concerning feedback. I always check a person's feedback, before making a deal, usually before even responding, and I assume others check mine before agreeing to send me money on the strength of my promise to deliver.
I have used this site, or its predecessors, since the 1980s if memory serves; Every format change required learning, but I must admit I am confused about how this new format works. Our internet service is abysmal, and it is very frustrating and time wasting to have to hunt, then hunt again, to find what I am looking for.

he's right. I go to airplanes and when I click the next page button it just takes me to the main menu. Not only that, there used to be dozens if not hundreds of jet ads. Since the change there are only a couple dozen. What happened to all the rest of the ads? You can't tell me 80%of the people with ads up canceled them the day of the supposed "upgrade".
With time you will see much more new ads, we've already seen an increase in listings. Expect to see more ads as the categories get populated.

This is a new marketplace, categories like Jets and Turbines will be populated with listings in due time as more people create listings. Since this post I can see that there has been at least 8 new Jet listings.

Hey Obi Wan why do add posting dates get rearranged every time you pull up the classifieds. I see ads for 3/23 mixed in with today. There is no posting order that is maintained from page to page it keeps getting reset. In the airplane section pages 2,3,4 all the ads are the same. Oh my.
As to the pages 2,3,4 in airplanes being the same, I am not able to reproduce this behavior. Looks to be working fine.
This is correct. When an ad is posted to, it goes to the top in its section, just like the forums.
