I've just moved over from another site because of how much I love Delcampe. I love the extensive selection of worldwide material, the decade-split categories to help one find something listed iwth another catalogue's number, the color scheme, the Advanced Search, the low fees, bulk feedback, and numerous other features.
I few suggestions that I, humbly, believe would be improvements.
1. Smart range searches: If the seller lists as "Michel 100-105", I would like a way to match that against my search.for "103". Likewise, if I searched for "Michel 100-104", it would find 103.
2. Strong wants list support. It will be a little bit more difficult here, because of the multitude of catalogues being used, but a keyword search for, say, "penguin" (or "penguin|pinguino|manchot") would be checked every day and lists of and links to all the new penguin stamps in the last 24 hours emailed to me.
3. CSV upload support. I do not use Windows, so I cannot use your custom upload program (even under WINE it doesn't work, because it needs .NET). Listing by hand is so painful that I might just give up and buy a Windows box just for that program. VERY IMPORTANT REQUEST!
4. Saving searches within a tree category and getting email updates when new examples become available. For instance, I could save "47|48" in "German Empire" and get an email each time a new copy is listed (is this in place already??)
5. Parentheses in Advanced Searches. I can fiddle around with DeMorgan rules to get a query that doesn't need them, but parentheses would make it so much more useful. to me
6. Could you open a US bank account and do wire transfers to Moneybookers from there? Transferring money to an overseas account, because we don't have IBAN numbers, in the States, would cost me $35 - $60 per transfer, regardless of the amount, but it is free to another US bank. If you could aggregate our payments (over, say, 24 - 72 hours) and make one big transfer overseas, it would eliminate the (still understandable and quite reasonable) 1.9% fee for U.S. users and use of a credit card to use Moneybookers?
That's all for now. Thanks again for my new favorite auction site!
