Stores 10 Nov 2026

The local business directory is easier to browse

Businesses now sit in even cards instead of a ragged column, and listing yours is one click from the directory itself.

  • Each card shows the logo, what the business does and its town, and a long description stops at a word instead of halfway through one.
  • The last card is an Add your business tile, so you do not have to hunt for the link.
  • Descriptions stay readable on every color theme, and business pages are now submitted to search engines with the rest of the market.

The garage sales page looks like the rest of the market

It opens with what the page is for and the three things you can do, instead of dropping you straight into a list.

  • Posting is free, sales show on a map, and each one gives you directions in a tap — all three are spelled out at the top.
  • When nothing is scheduled the page says so plainly and gives you Add the first one, rather than an empty white space.
  • Sales sit in an even grid with the photo, the dates and times, and the town — no more cards of different widths.

The Stores page is easier to shop

Every store now gets a proper card, so you can see what it sells before you click.

  • Each card shows the store banner, the owner, the town, how many items are for sale, how many have sold, and the star rating.
  • Long descriptions stop at two lines instead of pushing the next store off the screen.
  • The top of the page counts the stores, the items and the towns, so you can see how much is listed before you scroll.
  • If you sell regularly, there is a short Open your own store button at the top — it is free and takes about a minute.

Your store now has a shopping cart

Someone can pick several things from one store and send them as a single order, instead of chasing you item by item.

  • Every store has one, and it is free. There is nothing to switch on — if you have a store, you have a cart.
  • A shopper opens your store and taps Add to cart under anything they want. A cart button sits beside Visit profile at the top of your store and keeps count.
  • The cart holds items from one store at a time. If someone adds something from a different store, the site asks before emptying the first cart — it never does it quietly.
  • When they send the order you get an email with every item and the total, and a message thread opens between the two of you.
  • No money moves on the site. You and the buyer agree on payment and pickup the same way you always have.
  • Find their order under My Store, then Store orders. Mark it Ready when it is packed, Completed when it is handed over, or Canceled if it falls through.
  • No store yet? Sign in, choose My Store on the left, give it a name and a description, and save. It takes about a minute and costs nothing.

Store pages show off what is in stock

A storefront should look like a storefront.

  • Banner, rating and opening details at the top, then the items.
  • A “showcase” row puts the store’s best few items right at the top of the page.
