Can popularity be permantly changed to newest?
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

when someone visits my booth, the first thing they see are the POPULARITY items. I want my newest listings to appear instead. How can I get NEWEST to take the place of POPULARITY when my booth opens? Since I don’t have a lot of sales, the same “popular” choices (the most had 4 views) keep showing up.

In my own experience, when I go to a booth, I look directly at the items shown. For a long time, I didn’t even notice the “choices” on the right side of the page. I wonder if new visitors do the same thing.

Only memberships can change the booth sorting, all others are the default which now is Popularity…

I find that offensive.I should not have to PAY to have the option to list :“newest” first.

Well, look at ebay. They do all theirs by best match. it can’t be changed there. I don’t mind having most popular being shown, it’s picking items others find interesting and may want to look at, then they can change the order of the items if they want to.

when I first started here, it was “Oldest” then many requested, “Highest” then they requested “Newest”…don’t know if Popular was ever requested, because of the change in the forums, but “Seller’s Picks” (which can include picks, newest, oldest, high or low has always been a membership option…

Really, no matter what you choose, the buyer can always choose what they want to see…

If I’m not mistaken, I think it’s OPTIONAL for a Potential Customer to also pick the VIEW he/she wishes to use while scrolling through your booth. Again, I’m not positive about this, but I think it’s that way, just thought I’d mention such for an FYI in case newbies are reading these and want all the info’ possible about ’’choice of viewing entire booth by “Sort by” button option.

All visitors have the option to view however they choose.

I hated the ‘highest first’ because I have very few expensive items, so the front of my shop NEVER changed. I would have preferred “Newest” since it would always be changing. I don’t remember it ever being ‘newest first’.

I’m okay with Popularity, as that should also change over time, but newest still gives repeat visitors a different look.

I still personally feel that newest is best, but I am unwilling to have to pay a penalty to have that option, and I do consider it a penalty.

Since there are sellers that like Popularity, some that like Highest and some who prefer Newest, why can’t the seller make the choice of what would appear first. And, I’m not sure that potential buyers not familiar with Bonanza, would know to make the change.
