Re: Preview of the NEW ArizonaShooting.ORG classifieds and auctions
Guys - I get it on the passwords: some of you think it's too much, some of you think I should develop a new encryption algorithm to make it more secure.
I'm interested in hearing feedback on the usability of the site. While 4 people have created accounts, I don't think anyone has done anything in it beyond that. I am trying to give people the chance to test it and provide feedback before it goes live to replace the classifieds because I will be much less likely to make changes (outside of fixes) once it is actually live.

Re: Preview of the NEW ArizonaShooting.ORG classifieds and auctions
I went ahead and made a fake account to test, but what was wrong with the old way of listing something for sale for a price and if a buyer wanted it they buy it. Seems to have worked well for years. I have never had a bad experience on AZS buying or selling. Have met some good friends. I hate gun broker because auctions suck for buying guns. They might be awesome for sellers. But i don't see the core group here really buying in to this. But what do i know i am just an old guy gun collector that doesn't need more anyway. I appreciate all the work and will test drive it a bit and see what happens. I doubt i will use it actually in the future however. Probably for the best anyway for me.

Feedback
I registered, received the email to verify registration, clicked link, says email already verified. Go to list an item and says account not verified. Click to resend email, rinse repeat. Says email verified but i still can't list a fake item for sale. Maybe i am expecting things to happen too quick, or maybe i did something wrong. I am not IT guy. I am signed in and tried signing out and resigning in. Still can't list anything.

Then you don't create an auction... you create a classified ad. A seller can make either one.h8pvmnt wrote: ↑October 12th, 2021, 7:39 am I went ahead and made a fake account to test, but what was wrong with the old way of listing something for sale for a price and if a buyer wanted it they buy it.

Like I said in the initial post, I have it set so that I have to approve the accounts before you can bid or sell. I did that for you about 5 minutes ago.h8pvmnt wrote: ↑October 12th, 2021, 8:01 am Feedback

The verification YOU did was to verify that you used a valid email address. Once it goes live, that's all it will need - I only added the last step in for now while testing, just in case I made a mistake somewhere and a bunch of spam accounts get added.

First Error i encountered. Not sure what it means. I could not find a category for gun, firearms or firearm related items. So i chose sporting goods and got this error.

Just a comment on the pay methods posted. Paypal has a strict no firearms or firearms parts policy and if you get caught they will impound any monies you may have in your Paypal account. I've read of instances where people have been hit pretty hard. I believe they then charge you 2500.00 per incident as a fine.

Re: Preview of the NEW ArizonaShooting.ORG classifieds and auctions
Yep - and taking that risk is up to the person - the site itself doesn't play any proxy or middleman - it would be direct from buyer to seller. I just put it in there as an option, because some people still choose to use it. Also, since the site can be used for things other than firearms, the option to take PP may still be appreciated by some sellers.SupportTheSecond wrote: ↑October 13th, 2021, 9:26 am Just a comment on the pay methods posted.

Re: Preview of the NEW ArizonaShooting.ORG classifieds and auctions
Thanks. I need to fix that so that you *must* choose a sub-category. It's in there though... In fact, I asked for feedback above on whether the category under Sporting Goods should be "Shooting" or "Firearms". I put it under "Shooting" for now, but am open to other thoughts.

Re: Preview of the NEW ArizonaShooting.ORG classifieds and auctions
When this goes live, I strongly suggest that all new listings be done as "classifieds" rather than "auctions" since we need to build traffic up for auctions to be truly viable.

Because it is invalid. You have to continue to pick a sub-category. See the pic I posted 3 posts above yours.Comanchero wrote: ↑October 14th, 2021, 1:20 pm I keep getting this error when trying to list:
