With all of the new site updates and improvements I am hoping that they are not just all cosmetic and that there are actually some that would really allow sellers some new options in addition to the site just looking prettier.
The option that I would be so happy to see, and would improve my sales tremendously, would be the ability to select which items I want to set for immediate sale and which items I would want to set for approval prior to completing a sale.
On the items I keep in stock and can ship out immediately I could be making so many more sales, as well as completing sales where people place an order, I accept it and never hear from them again.
However, I would still like the option to set for prior approval status those items that are special order in which I have to check with the supplier to make sure they are still available in the size, color, etc. that a buyer requests.
With there being so many options to pick and choice from in almost every other facet of this selling platform it would seem like such a simple thing to do, make so many more sales happen and increase the revenue of the company (Bonanza) so much that I can’t believe that it hasn’t been accomplished yet.
Does anyone know if perhaps the powers that be have already seen the light (or the extra money they can make by doing this) and are working on such a valuable option for us?
Thanks!

I see you have your items set up for prior approval…if you wish some items to go through checkout without prior approval go to your account settings
Seller settings tab
uncheck this [URL removed]
When I approve an order, send the buyer their invoice automatically (don’t prompt me to review the invoice)
Save changes
Your items that you wish to have prior approval for…instead of adding a shipping charge
Use the Details are in the item description
The purchase will come to you as an OBO (or best offer) for you to approve and add shipping. In this case you can contact the buyer first to give them any details. Afterward you can Review the invoice add your shipping and then approve. You can also explain in the listing that purchase is based on item availability and that shipping will be added upon approval.
This option requires the buyer to return to the site to complete checkout after approval
In the mean time, if you would like the option for BIN and prior approval on an individual item by item basis instead of a whole booth option in Account settings…use the feedback link at the bottom of the page and submit a request for this option to be added…

Until this option is available you could have a second booth (Just need another email address.) for the items that you have in stock and allow instant purchase. I know I really hate to spend time searching and then find that the item is not available or sold on another site. Nice booth & hope you do well here.
