I've been testing this for a bit and I think it does have some real possibilities if the product can be added to.
Here's a partial suggestions list from what I've seen so far.
-In the product options provide an input box to link to a review forum or article section. Another possibility for this would be to add a comments section where the links to the reviews could be inserted as well as a rating system for sellers
On the items for sale page the ratings of the seller of the item could be displayed similarly to the picture above. Either a pictorial star system or text based system could be used to rate the seller of the item.
On the actual Item page all of the information should be used so that the member can easily make a decision on purchasing similarly to the picture below.
-Control of classified setup and content is a must for this product. With the present setup of category creation/change and classifieds being done only via contact with Enthusify it will present an unacceptable bottleneck for most users and an ever increasing workload for your staff as well as an extra step and delay for the products users. This one is a make or break for the product. It can be handled a couple of ways either through an admin section on Emulsify or through a link through admin on the parent site. Security of both sites will need to be addressed on this.
-A multiple item or “store” type feature for those that sell multiple items would be a great benefit for many sites and sellers that want to sell multiple repeat items. This would also be of benefit to sites that have sponsors that could then sell their merchandise on the site.
Ability to add the stores as subcategories under a main 'Stores” category.
Link in individual categories to the store subcategory.
Ability in admin to waive payment percentages for site for sponsors.
Ability to link to tutorials and reviews on products.
Ability to add a store logo for sponsors.
This would be a very big plus for sites that have a specific “theme” that could be merchandise related. Not only could they use it to attract sponsors for their site, but they could then share traffic with their sponsors sites.
Just a few ideas that I think would benefit this product.
