Right now, if we have items that haven't sold that we wish to lower the price on, the ad remains buried... it would be nice to be able to move it back to the top again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/some-tips-on-using-the-hellobee-classifieds-to-buy-and-sell#post-1121654 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 12:54:47 +0000 mrbee 1121654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: If you search the classifieds using the search box (like this):<br /> <a href="http://classifieds.hellobee.com/search/?q=maternity" rel="nofollow">http://classifieds.hellobee.com/search/?q=maternity</a></p> <p>Then you can filter the results by category! So for example, if you selected "for sale" in the pulldown over that search... you'd end up here:<br /> <a href="http://classifieds.hellobee.com/search/?q=maternity&#038;category=for-sale" rel="nofollow">http://classifieds.hellobee.com/search/?q=maternity&#038;category=for-sale</a></p> <p>Then you could filter further, to only stuff under this specific board:<br /> <a href="http://classifieds.hellobee.com/search/?q=maternity&#038;board=mom-and-dad-listings-for-sale" rel="nofollow">http://classifieds.hellobee.com/search/?q=maternity&#038;board=mom-and-dad-listings-for-sale</a></p> <p>We could look into making it so that when someone uses the search bar from a specific board page, like this one:<br /> <a href="http://classifieds.hellobee.com/board/mom-and-dad-listings-for-sale" rel="nofollow">http://classifieds.hellobee.com/board/mom-and-dad-listings-for-sale</a></p> <p>It automatically filtered the search by the category/board it was under. Would that be helpful? Let us know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/some-tips-on-using-the-hellobee-classifieds-to-buy-and-sell#post-1121640 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 12:51:57 +0000 T-Mom 1121640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SAHM0811: I have sold quite a few things on the classifieds. Sometimes I calculate the shipping cost into what I'm asking, usually if I am fairly confident about what it would cost. Other times if i'm not entirely sure which shipping option is going to be best, I name the price and then calculate shipping afterward.</p> <p>I'm liking the classifieds a lot, but have found that most members of the community aren't ready to buy the larger sizes that I have available. Wish HB classifieds had been around when I sold so much stuff to thredup (and pretty much earned next to nothing for my gently used brand name clothes!)... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/some-tips-on-using-the-hellobee-classifieds-to-buy-and-sell#post-1121629 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 12:48:15 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1121629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: it does!</p> <p>I ship all my business packages using priority mail. There is free insurance under $50, too. I love it!!</p> <p>I also ship all my packages through usps.com &amp; there's a slight discount for using online shipping. I print my own labels out, too. Then my mail carrier picks it up for me. I never have to leve the house!! It's like magic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/some-tips-on-using-the-hellobee-classifieds-to-buy-and-sell#post-1121575 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 12:27:53 +0000 kjpugs 1121575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can I ask a question slash, make a suggestion? The thing I've found I have issue with is narrowing down the classified. I wish there was a way to pick a category then search within it. It seems like the search that's available is only the standard search (which pulls up board posts, etc) and I wish I could search for items (so like if I wanted a specific brand, in a certain category of clothing, etc.) in a more narrow way. But maybe there's a trick I'm not aware of? </p>
