Thread Title: "New Communication Feature"
AuctionArmsCeo Buyers and sellers can now communicate with each other through the auction. Any messages sent between buyer and seller are now posted into the auction. We've found that sellers were having to repeatedly answer the same questions over and over, and by posting their reponse into the auction, they now answer everyone else's questions, too.

AuctionArmsCeo I'm in the process of rolling out a tool that will let you see all the new messages that get posted - and answer them. This new tool will be just as easy as email, and a lot more reliable. Let me know if you'd like anything else included in it.

Petesguns Sorry AA, still don't like what you've done. It wasn't broke....WHY'D YOU HAVE TO GO AND FIX IT?!?!?!?!?!?!

Was the commotion you have caused, and is still messed up, worth whatever off-line trading you may have intercepted? I figure you may have actually lost three or four sales for every off-liner you stopped. This system takes too much time, and just plain stinks! The way I figure it, I will post on the auctions for people with questions to phone me.....saves ALOT of aggravation. No more answering email questions.

PLEASE RESTORE TO WHERE IT WAS!

(no avatar) I've been in communications with Many - it looks as if it's here to stay. I've encounter individuals asking questions from one auction about a second auction and when we respond he responds back from a thrid acution now so much water has gone under the bridge I don't remember what the origioanl quesiton was ro which auction was the first one. I have to go back and search 60 auctions to find the origional question. This is a bad thing...

Petesguns Don't reckon so......so that will result in either no questions getting answered, and AA getting alot more people miffed about this new gadget, or maybe AA coming to their senses and unfixing this mess. I also post my email in the auctions, so bidders are free to email me direct, but it sure was easier the other way. I just don't know why whenever AA gets the hankerin' to fix something, why they don't do a bit more research first, instead of jumping right off to do something that riles the folks.

I still don't know why the emails using the OLD system can't be monitored by AA to prevent this off-line trading they say that this crap was installed to prevent. Unless there is another reason...........

Petesguns You are right Kats........this is a BAD thing.......seems like AA is forgetting who actually butters their bread. So, AA, how many people have posted here that they LOVE this new beast? HUH? Guess maybe it is time to find an alternative?
