I use to favorable comment on Artfire everywhere and anytime I could fit it in. I do not have current plans to leave (the flat rate for life is too good a deal to just walk away from), I no longer promote Artfire, other than the promtion of my own individual shop. <br /><br />I'm thinking that those people who never come to the forums, and react (or not) only to the periodic message Artfire send out, are by far the better. Or, at least, the happier. I will soon be joining that group.Vintage Knit Crochethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01309816607508921599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179720295660761864.post-27692840630905943582012-01-21T12:17:00.428+10:302012-01-21T12:17:00.428+10:30I'm sorry Haff, that you have to write this po...I'm sorry Haff, that you have to write this post. I too closed several shops after having been with AF since Nov 2008. I have one remaining shop and it's future is uncertain...<br /><br />I'm glad i know where I can find you still! :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04064232208795417464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179720295660761864.post-25044375870259214142012-01-21T03:16:14.990+10:302012-01-21T03:16:14.990+10:30Haff, I feel exactly the same.

My feelings go more towards being lied to, I have recently felt that they don't really want an opinion, they just want you to agree. if you don't then they push you aside.<br /><br />For a long time I have asked them to reconsider their choice of having "artisan lampwork beads" being listed under "jewelry supplies". No one I know who buys artisan lamwpork would ever dream of searching under "supplies".<br /><br />Then they brought on the commercial business, and told us that side would be the business that had increased fees to bring in revenue for building new features.<br /><br />Then, suddenly, after years of being told we had LOCKED IN rate, we are now being told we need to "buy customer protection" or be excluded from searches. How are they getting away with this? By saying that we're still paying for the same services, but anything additional will cost us. That means that any new feature they add in the future will come with an additional fee. So their promise of a locked in rate suddenly has a loop hole.<br /><br />My guarantee to customers is already 10 times better then Artfires, and none of us should have to be coersed into BUYING anything with threats of not showing in searches. <br /><br />And I do not appreciate being lied to.Dzign by Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16863739529397430983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179720295660761864.post-30280313207900440502011-12-30T03:39:20.602+10:302011-12-30T03:39:20.602+10:30Wow, I knew they had problems, but not to this deg...Wow, I knew they had problems, but not to this degree! I'm sorry for you and all those who put so much into it and their shops. NO ONE should be treated that way.
