In our last communication we mentioned that we will be rolling out some new exciting features in 2014. It has been a very busy last six months for us preparing for the reveal.
Well wait no more Gimko 2.0 is here.
Gimko 2.0 Enhancements
The first thing we did was give the whole site a facelift. What looked like a blast from the past from 2004 has now burst into the future. The new home page has had the biggest transformation and is now LOADED with new information to make your life easier when navigating the site.
Along the way we also did some optimisation to make pages load quicker, made the site much more user friendly & easier to understand and grouped common features to remove the technical clutter that only computer enthusiasts could understand.
THAT’S NOT ALL!!!
We took your suggestions on board and implemented the following features:
- Forum – If you are reading this post I guess you already worked out this is one of the new features lol. At popular request from our facebook fans and users, we integrated a forum into the Gimko site where collectors can connect and discuss their beloved hobby with other collectors. The best part is that no sign up is required for existing members. Simply login and you will be able to use the forum instantly. Please make sure you read the rules before posting.
- Make Offer System – complete overhaul of the system so now you can make counter offers and offers have an expiration time.
- Feedback System – complete overhaul of the sold items and items won pages to make it easier for users to leave feedback and view feedback at an item per item basis. For those looking to do bulk feedback, look no further and go to your Feedback Manager under My Gimko > My Account.
- Improved Paypal Invoices – We understand it was sometimes confusing grouping the item & shipping costs together and that’s why you can now find separated shipping costs in Paypal. At checkout or when you view the details for your payment the shipping and insurance costs will now be stored in the shipping and handling field on Paypal invoices.
- Unique Store Address URL – Your store will now stand out with its own unique easy to follow store URL. The URL will feature your store name making it easier for buyers to find you again.
Look out for many more features and services coming shortly after Gimko 2.0.
Finally feel free to let us know what you think of the changes so far.
