The Changes in how deals work

[sugarplusspice]

Holy cow! They made the change recently so that they are listing the total deals available right away (although they did this before they were almost always extended) and they really now create a frenzy once they are released. I totally fell for it and was in a panic this morning that I wouldn't get the deal I wanted to pick up the seller's fabulous chalkboard. They got me to buy right away, that's for sure! I think this is a really smart change on their part and it will really create alot of people buy right away.

I noticed that too - they seem to be really creating a sense of occasion around the sales. Good tactic, I reckon! :-)

I think it's only going to get harder to get the deals. Especially choosing shops with such a low number of available items and vouchers.
I have things to be doing during the day, I can't sit there 12:30 (my time) every day when they deals get listed, and hope I do get one! And they also cut out the morning deal, and a afternoon deal already too.
Did they even think of the people who work OUTSIDE of the home when starting this up? I think not. This site is about sellers and buyers! they should remember that.

well, if they put my deal through for my other shop i will make sure to have lots of vouchers!!!

What is your other shop, flirt? I love your items in your shop now! they're so cute :) I love your gnome items the best...especially the hair poppy pins!
I would totally scoop one up, with or without a voucher! lol I already bought from 2 other sellers in our team! Let me look around and decide what I like..even my sister will like your stuff...I will tweet(plug) you too!!
I have over 700 followers since I run the twitter for my Island..lol You should get some people that way as well.

Oh my goodness, that one is as equally cute! I'm really digging the Keep Calm Carry on tags! I have a few bucks in my budget, so I will have a look-see. lol
And don't let the first decline discourage you, your items are AWESOME!

I submitted, I got the votes, just waiting to see if they will accept me! I will stock up a lot if they do!

[Former_Member]

( i hope they do but I'm nervous)!

I suspect because they won't sell the VIP memberships unless they start having things sell-out early, instead of extended deals. This way people will pay the $8 to VIP or else risk losing out.

Me to! Waiting to see if i get in.

We are being Featured to the general public on Wednesday, but something new from Heartsy - our deal will show to only VIP member's on Tuesday morning.
