Ahwooga is almost 7 months old and cruising right along. There has been a few bumps in the road though. I was reading through the earlier posts and they seem so long ago. Today we will go over 93,000 live listings and we are are looking at going over 100,000 by the first week of August. In the big picture, this is still a small number of items when you look at the industries we cover but it is still exciting to me.
Currently what is making me the happiest is, our sales conversion rate for sellers in increasing. We spent a bunch of time working on the checkout process to smooth it out. This was difficult since we know the site so well, we always knew what to expect next.
The rules on Ahwooga.com will mirror those of a simpler time.
Ahwooga members will have the freedom to promote their items and share with potential buyers their terms, including payment methods they will accept. We also want to promote buyer and seller communication; sometimes a purchase needs more than a couple of e-mails. There is a point where a phone call can really help out both the buyer and seller. We still can't believe sites that allow major purchases to happen without communication. This would prevent scammers from hiding behind their computers. We also believe larger ticket item would be purchased with more confidence due to this open communication.
