Re: “Going, Going, Gone!!” BeGone!!!

I find it very annoying and it does not make me buy...I am not that easily swayed.

Re: “Going, Going, Gone!!” BeGone!!!

Hi, @amyb !  I agree!  I often watch or flip at 9 pm PST as I lay in bed just to relax.  I have to laugh every time the host says order this before you go to bed because some color won't make it to the morning presentation.  More often than not it does and I've had time to consider if it is really all that.  For me often the best strategy is to let the "special" pass and wait for reviews.  I've saved myself a lot of return $ that way.

I just had one of those pop-ups when I was about to place an order for something.  Made me wonder if it was really an accurate count or are they trying to push product.  I placed my order but not because of the pop-up.

I find them annoying and unnecessary.

I find it annoying & high pressure.  Doesn't work on me.  Also annoying is the continuous "buy multiples, or buy one in every color".

I also get more then annoyed at the hosts constantly telling us over and over how many items have been sold! Who cares . If I want it I buy it. If its gone its gone. Shopping is getting crazy on here.

Are they deliberatly trying to drive us away? That pop up blocks the size and pricing information. It comes up with 99% of the products that I look at. So annoying and you know it just is not true. Most of what I really want in the clothing line is already sold out in the color or size that I want anyway.

I agree that this pop-up is beyond annoying.  We all know they're tracking what we're looking at, but to have that pop up to pressure us into buying something doesn't work for me.  I just close what I was doing, so they lose a potential sale.

 

If these suggestions are being passed on to the PTB, perhaps they'll get the message - we don't need to be "scared" into buying something before it's "GONE!".  (Which most times isn't true anyway, in my experience.)

 

I managed a while ago to stop this pop-up, but it's back and I have to try to remember what I did then.  We shouldn't have to bother with this while we're browsing.
