Anyone else having trouble with seeing booth categories in other booths?
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

I am trying to shop today.

I am having trouble because some booths are showing nothing in their categories even though they have items for the categories. I could understand it if it was only booths I’d never been to and the seller just hadn’t bothered to put their items into their own categories, but this is also in booths I have shopped in before with no problem.

Tried using Chrome, IE and Firefox and with all three of my booths. Same issue.

Is it just me?

Had the same problem last week. Out of 1000 plus items, I was only showing 300 plus. The rest were mysteriously on reserve status and therefore not showing in some categories. Check your categories, they may be reserved. .

are they custom categories…

Unfortunately it usually means the person did not set up their custom categories correctly, a server update can sometimes mess the custom categories up, and sometimes categories just tend move around/disappear Even bonz categories for some reason do that.

Weekends are notorious for updates, and ghosts running around making things appear and disappear. They usually come back in few hours

If it is not in all booths, my feeling is the custom categories are set correctly and a lot of sellers here don’t even realize it

Must be the Bonanza Ghost. I can’t imagine someone that had all their categories populated a few days ago would have gone in today and emptied them.

I noticed that Bonaza throws eall the patterns in my "Costumes " catagory unless I edit each listing when I make it or when I import it. I also noticed that all my regular clothing patterns are not in that category because I added it after the listings were already there.

They added popularity as a search option, and the results where showing 0 in booths and in the general search. They changed the general search back to revelance. Thought this was fix. Sometimes when Bonanza is updating things disappear, then they usually re-appear a little later.

Sounds very likely. This problem appeared suspiciously at the same time. ;-)
