Extensions Market after a year...

Its been a year since i wrote my last post (on 10.03.2009). Due to various reasons i had to discontinue making mods for Dolphin and gradually lost my position in the market.

Now after a whole year i'm back as a Expert (or as a Trader as per Unity market) here to continue with the making of modules and products. A lot has changed here in the mean time. Unity has been modified several times, Dolphin licensing has been changed, Market rules and membership levels have been altered. But as a Trader i feel the things are still the same, or even worse.

Unity Market has been unable to provide a market similar to what was at Expertzzz. Expertzzz was a platform built especially for the mod selling and forum discussions where as Unity Market has been simply created with the Dolphin modules making it difficult to use not only for the buyers, but also for the sellers.

The flaws in Unity Market like no proper categories etc. have been already stated in few earlier posts. But i want to add into that even after paying the fee to become a premium member so as to be able to sell modules, i have not got a satisfactory market place. Expertzzz was much better. Not only we had categories but also several sorting options like 'latest','popularity','budget','tags', but also the modules got proper promotion mediums with Ad boxes.

But the Unity Market is simply a blog module with ability to attach files and images. How can Boonex charge us for posting mods when they cant even create a good market place? Dont the Boonex coders have some common sense while making things? How can they even miss some simple features which can contribute a lot in increasing the sales??

Here in Unity Market can't see which extension has been sold how many times. Why cant Boonex display the number? It becomes really hard for the Trader to bring customers to his product. Unless he gets a comment from someone, people are made to believe that it has been not bought yet by anyone.

And the image upload processing is the worst i've ever seen. I uploaded a module yesterday and found that it had not only cropped the screenshot images, but had also resized the smaller once after which they are now mess.

And how hard is it for the Boonex coders to build the category system for Market? Why no proper sorting and search feature? And why the mess of tags is displayed on top of Market pages???

I have lot more to say but i think this is enough to hint Boonex that we Traders need a MUCH BETTER market place at unity. Boonex always provides the excuse that the programmers are busy in Dolphin development. Then they should know that without a proper Market Dolphin would end up no where. Dolphin development has to go on forever but Market can be improved in some short span of time only. Then why are they delaying it?
