They plan on getting rid of "bidder" implementing a new feature called "Pocketstock Packages".

Yay or Nay?

I guess its a Yay, but to tell you the truth I have never lost interest in a site as fast as I have with this one.

I did get the e-mail, but until I see some sales - or some indication they're planning something that would undercut other sites that do sell - I really don't care much

Agree with the above. The proof is in the pudding. Until I start to see sales there it's impossible to evaluate any plans they have.

pocketstock is actually the one of the new site which had put a lot of efforts..like good tutorial in sites..customer service blah blah..like serious in business.

i am surprise to see many contributors are cold to it.

All that is great, and I wish them well. But sales are the bottom line. Pocketstock have the singular distinction of being the only site I have ever uploaded my whole (7k) portfolio to that didn't produce a single sale in over a month (and counting).

I am happy to get this e-mail and see they are going to begin working seriously on attracting customers, but until they do I am not getting too excited.

They didn't do their market research and thought the bid system was something new that buyers would want. That's about as far from serious in business as you can get. That and the fact that they've failed to sell anything for me has really got them off to a bad start. Hopefully they're fast learners or they might as well cut their losses and get out now.

I just noticed that they lowered payout to 30 euro.
Now I'm very close to payout - only 30 euro remaining.

Pretty much this. Didn't upload my whole port, but the combined best sellers from all previous sites. Nothing. I think there is something going on there that we don't know about, and probably won't like when we find out.
