The New and Improved Bahtsold Platform!

 

In order to keep up with the ever evolving online market and to create a better experience for both buyers and sellers, the team at Bahtsold have been working hard to bring you a new platform with new improved features and functionality. As we move towards the future, we hope to keep improving Bahtsold to help make it more user friendly and to create a premium marketplace for buying and selling goods and services throughout Thailand. 

We look forward to receiving any feedback from our current users and we ask you all kindly to be patient with us as we go through the process of launching the new platform. Our support team are ready to provide any assistance in helping you with any questions or issues that you may have.  We ask for your patience as we roll out more and more features over the coming month.

What's New?


NEW LAYOUT
 
We have totally overhauled the look and feel of our old platform. Trying our best to keep a minimal clean style that provides an easy to navigate interface, we hope that the new layout will help both sellers and buyers to navigate the site, search for items and message sellers much more effectively. 

REVAMPED MESSAGING SYSTEM 
To help facilitate messaging between buyers & sellers, we have implemented a new messaging system.  The new chat style messaging system will ensure that fake/ spam messages are kept at bay but also allow users to message between each other without having to leave the platform.  We hope that this will help sellers and buyers to engage with each other and help with making transactions while giving us the ability to ban unwanted spammers or scammers. 

AN IMPROVED WAY TO PLACE ADS
Posting items should be logical and easy to follow.  So to make it easier to post your items we have made a few changes to the "place an ad" process. Firstly, we have streamlined the top level categories and sub categories as we believe that previously the old system was over complicated. We have also tidied up the category forms to make imputing your items information, uploading photos and promoting your ads with Boosts as logical and simple as possible. 

 

NEW SUPPORT SYSTEM
To guarantee our users get the support they need in a timely manner we have installed a new support ticketing system. We hope that this will be a much needed improvement on past support issues and ensure timely replies to any issues or questions you may have. 

UPGRADED SERVER

When using a website, there is nothing more frustrating than having to wait for a page to load.  For this reason, we have upgraded our server to the latest  in technology and have also increased the bandwidth.  With these upgrades, users should see a noticeable difference in page load speed and this should provide a more pleasant browsing experience. 

NEW WAYS TO PROMOTE YOUR LISTINGS
Getting noticed is now easier with Bahtsold ad Boosts.  In addition to posting featured ads, sellers can now purchase Top Ads, Highlighted Ads and Reduced Ads to help promote their listings.  (Please note: As special offer and reduced ads have essentially the same meaning. Special offer ads will no longer be a upgrade ad option)

What's Changed and what you should know!


BAHTSOLD IS NOW INDEPENDENT 
On the previous platform, Bahtsold Thailand was integrated with our other advertising platforms including Asiasold and Boatsold. Moving forward we have decided to concentrate on the development of our most popular platform being Bahtsold. This means that ads posted on Bahtsold will no longer be shared on our other networked sites and will only be displayed and accessed through Bahtsold.com.  Users who have ad balances on Asiasold and Boatsold will still be able to place ads using their existing balances but will also be credited with new balances on the new Bahtsold platform.
 


IMPORTANT: If you wish to post ads on Bahtsold Thailand you will need to access your user dashboard from Bahtsold.com and NOT Asiasold.com as was the case previously.



UPDATED PRICING AND THE INTRODUCTION OF ADCOINS
Subscription and Business packages have now been replaced with the introduction of Adcoins. Adcoins can be used instead of using Thai baht and can be purchased in bulk to receive discounts on ad placements.  Also by using Adcoins, users who post multiple ads also gain the advantage of avoiding payment processing fees.

Please Note:  All pricing on Bahtsold will now only be in Thai baht and no other currency payments will be accepted.  Also all payments will be subject to 7% VAT as per Thai law. 



PAYMENT'S  &  EWALLETS
As many of you may have noticed we have upgraded our payment gateway using Omise. This new system will allow users to use additional payment methods such as credit card/ debit card and online bank transfer services in additional to our existing Paypal and offline methods.  With the implementation of the new system we have ceased to offer EWALLET as a deposit/payment method. Users with existing balance will still be able to use their balances but will no longer be able to deposit. 

Kind Regards,
The Bahtsold Team
