Sort by: Relevance... kills sales

Until the 11th of this month, the number of purchases was encouraging. It seemed that the sales level might even be catching up with ArtSession. But… starting from the 12th, no purchases. I didn’t immediately understand what happened. On the marketplace page there is a panel with the ability to display a list of models by relevance, novelty, rating, etc. So… previously, the display by novelty was automatically indicated. Purchases were made. As soon as the settings were changed to automatic display by relevance, any trading stopped. There is an option to independently select the settings for a one-time search, but as I understand it, no one ever uses these settings much and everyone sees what is shown by default. This is not a reproach. I note that such a trifle can completely suffocate a small seller. Either put more emphasis on that gradation selection panel or return it to how it was… if there are no sales due to the lack of visibility of the products in addition to the destruction of other stores, it looks like the deliberate destruction of small businesses… we simply have no chance of surviving among the highly rated “Ferraris” for 200 bucks per model. Although what I’m saying is, no one ever listens to anyone and the interests of ordinary people are never taken into account, so most likely with such a development of events we will have to beg for alms in order not to starve.

Has anyone else noticed a similar problem or is it just me that’s special?

Same thing happend to me after 11th of December,.

maybe they had some kind of breakdown? 4 days in a row of zeros. it looks like some kind of bug. and what a promising start

I don’t think sorting is the problem, my products are as visible as before and sales dropped anyway in the last few days. Maybe people are just expecting a sale event to start soon. The same thing happened a few days before black friday.

My last sale was 12 Dec, I believe sorting by relevance was always like that.

They did release a production update for fab website on 12 dec, but am not sure if it is related.

I agree with txbm too, people are just waiting for the Christmas deal.

It’s good to hear from others. I hope everything stabilizes.
