This is a total joke, bye, bye RC Universe after 10 years. RC Groups will be getting a lot more business!

Absolute unmitigated mess. There does not seem to be any relationship between clicking on a navigation word such as "parts" and what pops up...... Complete fail...

My category, since last visit, repeats of featured. More than useless. If it stays this way I may visit once a month or so.

New and improved "for the user it is not"

your inability to listen to your users. That's what is confusing!

Do you have any specific questions or concerns? What do you find confusing?

yeah doesn't give me all the jets. "My categories" was a brilliant feature on the prior marketplace.
I supported RCU for years, was a moderator, wrote multiple how to articles, but with these changes, specifically the new marketplace and the lack of being able to just go to last read post I'm out so long RCU, it was fun while it lasted.

Here's how good the filter works. I put in "jet" and get 13 ad's 10 are jets. Not that it matters, "upgrades" never go back to how things were no matter how crap they are

I hate the new site, why fix something that's not broken? Very frustrating.

Nice Shot! Right in the foot!
I thought what you had before the change worked very well. Its new got to give it a chance ( Really ! do you think anyone is going to do that when you make giant sweeping changes and tell everyone how great they will be?)...... At this point I'm not a fan.....
Kind of hard to try and come up with a new renovated forum and hear lots of negative comments after lots and lots of work. But people change stuff and fix things that aren't broke all the time. Its hard to go backwards once you step forward. Kind of... like it or leave it. Its always hard when you move everyone's cheese. Shoot I love change as long as everything stays the same and I don't have to do anything different.

Default Not an improvement

This new marketplace is unfortunately a major step backward. There is no specific listing category, no specific shipping or type of payment instructions. It's all over the place. Needs serious repair!

Probably one of the worst 're-do's' I've ever experienced.........been on this site posting since 2002 and there was absolutely nothing wrong with the way things were laid out for the END-USER

Whatever motivated you to make these changes it surely wasn't for us

Wow, I'm very disappointed. The BEST feature of RCU marketplace was the invoice and PayPal link! Where is it? Where are the ratings and profile photos? Where is the offer history? Where is the last login? Where are the sub-categories? These are such important features of RCU and made it stand out ahead of the other sites.

Please explain how this "new version" is better for me? I really want to know. Please.

Come on. Keep the original marketplace. It was really perfect for what it was intended for. You guys are a month early for April fools...

There is an expanded manufacturer list that may satisfy your need for a Jet posting. But, we are also working to add new sections, such as a jets category to the new marketplace.

Are you saying that when you click on an ad while browsing the listings, and you go back to the listing search, it routes you back to the first post instead of from where you left off?

This is how an offer is made.

I never have anything deducted from the $10 when advertising and using the FREE enhancements. I NEVER use the enhancements that cost money, only the FREE ones. Yet, RCU keeps the $10 deposit.
Quote from RCU:

As a PayPal paying member, you will be permitted to post any type of ad without enhancements, until you deposit funds as described below, after which you may post ads with enhancements.

We strongly recommend that you deposit $10 - $50 so you may take advantage of ad enhancements such as featured and home page placements, ad boosts, extra photos & categories etc. You will not be able to select any enhancements for your ads without a minimum deposit balance of $10.00. You will not be able to select home page placement for your ad without a minimum deposit of $35.00. We cannot refund any deposits.
MINIMUM DEPOSIT IS $10.00
We are working on a solution to this issue. Thank you for bringing this up.

We are actively working on taking care of this issue. Thank you for your patience.

That's right, everything is done with REPLY, and then the sale is made over PM.

The seller's Join Date is right there on the listing.

As we messaged in the announcement in post #1 here, the old marketplace is now read-only for 2 weeks, after which it will disappear. If you need to find an ad in the old marketplace, be sure you are selecting the "Market (Legacy)" tab.

Thanks,

You may post such inquiries by clicking REPLY, or be sending the seller a PM.

Accept via PM, and then mark the listing as SOLD using the Listing Tools.

Hmm it is working correctly for me. Can you tell me what parameters you plugged in?

What was once a useful marketplace has been destroyed by the changes. It is no longer useful or functional for me.

What browser are you using? On Chrome, I am returned to where I last left.

I am using Chrome as well and there are definite inconsistencies in the navigation. I can duplicate an issue every time by doing the following.
1. Go to Marketplace Home
2. Select a Product Type (I chose Airplanes)
3. Ooh, look, airplanes
4. I changed to a different product type (I selected Engines and unselected Airplanes)
5. Ooh, look, engines.
6. Select a listing.
7. Ooh, look, an engine
8. Click the back button in the browser
9. Ooh, look, airplanes - wait a minute, wasn't I just looking at engines?

Dan,
Your membership level, RC Power Member, carries an annual $9.95 fee. That is what the system is asking you to pay. Your membership level provides you with benefits above those provided to free memberships. Your non-ProSeller ads are still free just as they always have been. You are only bing charged your annual enhanced membership level fee. If you wish to stop paying this fee you may opt to lower your membership level to one of the free options.
