The browser back button doesn't work correctly (windows 7, Firefox). When I browse past page 1, view an item then hit the browser back button I'm not returned to the page I was on. Instead I'm sent back to page1.

Well I'm glad I got to the good news first, lol. I just tried and It still won't let me post a new listing for the second day in a row now.
Still getting the "You had already reached the maximum number of active listings (maximum of 1 listings)" message.
Thanks for your help.

Shouldn't the forum post about the new membership plans (see attached screenshot) mention monthly limits?
All it says is 2 per day.
Even the old marketplace had a 30 per month limit.
Seems odd?

The result will likely be NO members and they'll have shot themselves in the foot in search of more profit.
Most RC enthusiasts are people of limited means. Hard working low income or retired folks.
It just seems like as more and more of us are struggling to make ends meet in this current economic mess, companies are at the same time trying to Monetize everything we do.
Ugh. I was hopeful and trying to be helpful in sorting out the bugs on this new site but as I was afraid it's only purpose is to get rid of people who don't have the extra money to add to their profits.
GO GREED! USA for the Rich!

Okay. So I understand that the primary reason for this website is profit. Why else would it be here. And this new site change is obviously aimed at squeezing out the "Free" members.

I am actually just trying to sell off everything I have due to failing health.
I normally don't sell much at all, just clearing out as fast as I can while I still can.
Thanks for your replies.
Good Luck.

i just tried actually using the new marketplace for the first time. Omg, dont try fixing it, just go back to the legacy version. No offer button anymore? Just a reply that is public knowledge? Garbage. Everyone needs to migrate to RCG and stope posting stuff for sale here

Rarely post but would offer a little advice.
Given the almost universal unpopularity of the new system, hopefully you are also analyzing the actual impact of the changes made. Dangerous business model when you launch without any impact research.
Might want to do a quick analysis of the first two weeks impact in terms of listings, views, and purchases, and try and determine whether the cost of the new system is in actuality less than whatever costs were associated with maintaining the old marketplace. You can drive customers away quickly with no guarantee you can recover them.
I tried the new format but quickly stopped looking, basically the new marketplace is a pain and time sump. I'm out, imagine others are too. Will check back in a month or so and see if you have reverted or fixed. Funny thing is that fixed will end up looking a lot like the original. If it still is sub-standard, at that point I will not only be out, but gone.
Good luck, seems to me you need it.

It may not be a business but I know others have used the site to sell estate items to help the family out now it looks like you will have to pay a fee to help someone out. NICE!!!!!!!!! How does that commercial go "Hands in your Pocket" "Hands in your Pocket" What next a percentage of the sale price...............................

I have been using this site for many years with no problems listing and selling items , I recently listed an item and have not been able to communicate with potential buyers. I might have to switch another site to sell my RC items.
