1) Seller Analytics Dashboard: Insights into Your Sales Performance

  • Purpose: The new Seller Analytics Dashboard provides a comprehensive view of your sales performance, buyer behavior, and listing effectiveness, enabling you to make informed business decisions and optimize your sales strategies.
  • Key Features:
    • Sales Performance Insights: Track sales volume, revenue trends, and conversion rates.
    • Buyer Behavior Analysis: Understand buyer interactions with detailed analytics on page views and wishlist additions.

  • Note: The initial rollout/release of this dashboard will be incremental (using a feature flag). First we will target specific users, then rollout in chunks of 20%. Please contact Taro (taro@vendidit.com) if you want immediate access to the new dashboard.

2) Feature Flagging: Enhancing Our Development Process

  • Purpose: Introducing PostHog’s feature flagging to enable more flexible feature deployment and testing. From now on, when we implement Feature Flag for a particular feature, we can decide which user segment (if any) should get to use it. For example - we can choose the sellers for whom we want to turn on our new Seller analytics dashboard.
  • Key Features:
    • Controlled Rollouts: Gradually release features to specific user groups to gather feedback and ensure stability.
    • A/B Testing Capabilities: Test different feature variations within the platform to optimize user experiences.
    • Personalized Experiences: Customize features for different user segments, enhancing personalization and engagement.

3) Bulk Upload of Listings: Simplified and Streamlined

Purpose: Addressing the nuts and bolts of auction setup, we've simplified bulk upload on draft listings, making it easier than ever to assign lot numbers and adjust fulfillment types. These enhancements are designed to reduce friction and increase efficiency for our sellers, ensuring you spend less time managing and more time selling.

Key Features:

  • One Journey for all: Even if you face multiple errors with fulfillment settings, lot numbers, or conditions scale, we have streamlined the user experience to create a single journey to solve all the issues with only a few clicks.

  • Auto Assign Lot Numbers: When you encounter missing or duplicate lot numbers when uploading bulk listings, now you can ask us to automatically assign lot numbers to your listings.

  • Fulfillment Type Adjustments: When fulfillment type is missing on your listings or they don’t match the auction settings, you can now quickly adjust fulfillment settings for multiple listings at once, or change the auction settings with ease.

  • New Template with Streamlined Fulfillment fields: The CSV template for bulk listings has been simplified with a column for pickup and a column for shipping. Inputing “yes” into the field will enable the respective setting for the item.

4) All Auctions Page Revamp on Seller Portal

Summary: The seller portal has a new look with the All Auctions Page revamp. Our core philosophy for tables - “Scan, Focus, & Consume” has been applied so that sellers aren’t overloaded with information, but rather find the required information in their anticipated places on the screen.

5) Seller Profile Revamp on Buyer Portal

Summary: The Seller Profile on the buyer portal has the new Auction cards hosted on it now. The Follow button, Contact Us flow, and cover photo section has been improved to give the layout a more compact feel.
