eSk8 Market now Closed

it’s in my nature to be skeptical, sorry about that… its just how i approach things in life. Please don’t take my scrutinizing as negative.

also, i don’t want to discourage new business in this growing market, the more players the more the market grows, we all benefit… If i was anti-competition i would ban all other resellers from this forum, this forum has undoubtedly helped to grow my competitors business… of course, they won’t admit that publically & I am still waiting for the thanks :wink:

Like i said i can’t work out if it’s brilliant or not. But here is my advice if you are interested.

  1. Drop the 4% fee for 12 months to build your user base, without sellers you won’t have any buyers.
  2. Consider offering a place for people to sell second-hand or unwanted items with zero transaction fees.
  3. your url & logo are very similar to the ones used on this site, i suggest trying to differentiate yourself from this website as much as possible. Otherwise, people will assume its the same entity and they will be confused as they can post items for sale on here for free. This will make it difficult for your to grow your user base.

hope that helps.

My company builds longboards based on the designs that each customer wants with their order, which means every board is entirely unique. As you can see, it would be hard to have every possible option for a deck or a griptape design in one drop down menu. What I am proposing is that the custom products page would feature pictures of past work that each (custom) seller wants to show off, and if the potential customer likes what they see, then they could contact the seller to request their own custom product.

After explaining I think it would be useful to add this to the website. I will definitely get this going as soon as possible.

@onloop thanks for your advice! I value it and want to learn from experienced people in my field.

Awesome! Thanks for listening to my request as well, I think the esk8 market will do well with someone like you at the head

I have added a sub category under decks for custom pieces. This should fit your business quite well.

Thank you! I’ll look forward to watching this entire market expand :slight_smile:

No problem!

The server has been down.

What does this mean? “Fatal error: Call to undefined function dokan_is_user_seller() in /home/electricjared/public_html/wp-content/plugins/dokan-simple-auction/class/class-auction.php on line 213”

Edit: never mind. it works.

Hmm… I saw that you edited and it now works, Something is wrong on the front end… I am going to look into it, I didnt realize the problem because the back end is perfect.

@barajabali

Just letting you know that this link doesn’t work anymore.

Yes I updated the software and there seems to be a bug, I am going to try and downgrade to the previous version.

Hahaha I think I messed it up trying to log in

Trying to find a solution… @barajabali must have found the smallest bug in the code and wrecked the whole website, the whole software force deactivated (not good)

Ok I have found the problem, when @barajabali tried to login multiple times and it blocked his IP, the software’s update was using dofferent code from the limit login attempts, so it forced the software to auto deactivate. No it is producing a fatal error, and I may have to reset the software and all of the info would be lost (hope I don’t have to do that) if that dosnt work, (I can no longer manage through the backend), so I may have to wipe the server and start fresh. The EU market is still running because I did not push the update. @MasterCho

@barajabali not ur fault, if it wasn’t u it would have been someone else

Sorry for the troubles I am working vigouriously to try and find a solution

Sorry all I was trying to do was plug in that password you gave me to reset my password. I broke it
