I have noted and thank you for the inform about a few updates.
Thanks for the update. I would like to add to the Empowr citizens that are listing items, please do not list as free shipping and then under shipping say the price will be calculated after address given. Read the listing procedures before listing. There is one more thing I would like to bring up, those of you who have blogs that are recipes and then put them as a monthly fee. I report these because the monthly fee is if you update your blog not just make someone pay monthly for the same recipe.
Those are great points!
Life skills,
If shipping cost is free in listing but in descrition seller mantion then it is must be rejected. And monthly subscription is also seen by approving person if it suits or not the rejection is must.
It is not happening. I am reporting all the time (I am Life Skills).
Thanks for the updates. This is exciting to see what is next!
Tenho acompanhado as constantes discussões e já pude sentir muitas mudanças nos últimos dias na empowr, isso está nos levando a ajustes perfeitos para alavancar a economia. Apesar de muitas coisas solucionadas ainda á alguns dias atrás tive problemas ao adquirir a posição verde, pois a mesma foi descontada duas vezes em meus saldos e o meu treinador de sucesso (SC) não pode responder em tempo hábil e não consegui reembolso. Mas apesar ainda das falhas do sistema tenho caminhado para o sucesso com a #empowr e em breve também serei um #treinador de sucesso (#SC) e quem sabe em um futuro até mesmo presidente...
This is a fantastic news as always JC and I am so thankful for the engineers trying their best to fixed all the bugs and glitches, you´re all awesome. Good luck to those who are qualified for the next presidecy election t 2017.
Hello J.C., is there a good explanation how it works with, if i put a product in the marketplace and it is sold, where does the money goes and when do i receive it on my paypal. This is the question i get from a lot of old and new people.
If there can be made a blog from J.C. that give a step for step explanation, that will be great.
I even surgest that it would be made possible for payment after recieved product arrived, in an Marketplace-AMCO or so.
Remember we (the seller) still need to send a product and either pay about 10 dollars a product or the reciever (the buyer) has to pay the sending up on arrival to the mail man.
In addition to your suggestion , perhaps make the shipping cost portion of the sale be immediately available for cashout to the seller. This will improve cash flow to be able to continuously enable the seller to provide more products. Impose actual shipping costs versus an auction starting at 0.01 with $100.00 shipping for an item. (use the reserve price to ensure profitability)
Thnx for your reply Coach AB.
Glad details like this and others are being round tabled... :>)
Great news. Thanks JC.
I face some other marketpalce glitches too. When I try to pay my winned auctions or products, sometimes Options like my balance, credit card and paypal appear. When I try to pay with PAypal I get validation (-0.01,+0.01) and my item remains unpaid. If I try to pay with my balance I get a message to try later and that my payment could not be processed. What really worried me is the fact that when I try to pay an Item the balance that appears in the options sometimes is different from the balance i have on available to buy or sponsor screen. Any ideas?
That is so nice of the world's first democratic Social economic platform to choose its president by the Citizens..
Daily goals have given actual strength to the site..Marketplace is indeed exploding with items.
Everything will be all right...Thanks
Hi JC
I want to candidate for next election 2017 but I'm removed from SC program permanently 2 months ago.
As it's not fair decision about me and i don't accept it ,would you investigate it please?
I appreciate you to let me candidate for next election.
Thanks
Hessam Bakhshi
Great to see improvements being vigorously worked on and implemented. This can only add to the confidence level.
I wish there was a way to delete or avoid being presented with fans who have not been active to an unreasonable amount of time. Closing circles with someone who has been inactive for (example 75 days) is a bit discouraging to those who are active daily. There might be an algorithm to determine your last visit and not allow an inordinate amount of "likes" on a page. Much like the daily limits - impose a "low activity" limit. Until of course you become and remain activity in the Empowr community.
"likes" are like currency now so they must be , I feel , spent wisely. ( this is all on the premise that closing circles and other activity affects your community score)
I have closed loops with many people and they still show up to me. I have unfavourited them as well yet some still show up
Thanks for the great updates. :) :)
Hi JC,
Always happy for any changes to better the Community and the marketplace. Really glad to see great improvements in the marketplace happening, the bugs fixed or getting fixed, the AMCO which is stressed more than enough by JC that "NO DIGITAL PRODUCTS", so we can move fast and close the loops) and the upcoming election for the new President. Working as synergy everything will be possible and have a fast growth that we need to hit Empowr's goal in 2017 to be no 10 in the list globally. This in turn will benefit every citizen who worked hard and Empowr a great place to be for decades and not only for few years.
Changes proves that Empowr with the great leaders, awesome engineers and all the staffs behind the scene are working so hard to make all these happening. Thank you Empowr for being open hearing all our suggestions/complaints for some and any inconveniences from citizens and hope we can give our best. Empowr rocks and so with the Community and to all involved.
Thank you JC for being so patient answering our questions and to all our success coaches who had tried their best behind the scene. Great that we all work as one.
Yes, I hope empowr can hit top 10 global site by 2017! That would be an amazing achievement and if that happens empowr will for sure monopolize this industry via the network effect! I can't imagine how greater empowr will be once it achieves critical mass... :)
Very good post, but I have a question if possible answer please, Can we have a BUTTON(Delete) for products in Marketplaces? Because we have a lot of products maybe sold that give us confusin in our Market. I hope this could be a good suggestion Empowr team, thank you veruy much anyway for your hard work.
Thanks JC for the great updates again. It really improving our site by day. Market place is really improving day by day.
I have one question about hittng daily goals in a single day. This single day will consider of our local time zone or systrm will consider USA time zone. I am 7 hours earlier when the enpowr server date changes. So I start my gaol earlier then the server date change. So my work and my goals will be count in a single day or I have to start my goals on San Deigo time zone. I am hitting my daily goals according to Pakistan time zone.
Regards,
Iftikhar
Hi Iftikhar, your goals are based on the time zone that is set in your account preferences. Do you know how to check that yours is correctly adjusted?
Thank you Mila for your reply. Tell me where to check these settings are properly adjusted? I can adjust these time zone in the setting area.
I can't see the person who Bought the item this is hard for me because I have to look at what I have sold and look at the email before I ship the product to make sure it is the right buyer
Thank you for these updates, JC.
There still are many errors in the Marketplace: many Premium Blog Packages listed as products (books), many blogs wrong cathegorized. IE: a blog describing a travel destination -> Tourism, a recipe -> Cooking, a no matter what ... -> Everything Else, a blog about cosmetics -> Health and beauty and so on! Haven't you noticed that?
Many blogs have a monthly fee and you have to pay monthly this fee without receiving anything in exchange!
There still are many photos providing nudity and we can't report these users or these photos!
There still are many users providing in their comments or "status updates" affiliate marketing!
I think the empowr team knows what I am talking about and these issues will be resolved!
Thank you for the effort you made until now! We all appreciate it and we know that thank to you empowr is getting better and better daily! Good luck!
Hi Angela, thank you for sharing some of the issues you care most about. The team is currently working on many, many marketplace issues and fixes. Stay tuned to learn more about those changes coming soon!
Привет товары которые я спонсировал не могу оплатить, деньги снимают http://prntscr.com/c3j6mq а цвет не меняется
Hello Products I sponsored I can not pay my money is removed from the balance http://prntscr.com/c3j6mq and the color does not change
no buttons, to refuse the goods
Thanks for the updated news and good luck for competitors to the Presidential race
Thanks JC for the updates. Most of the time i am getting Early cash out available now but did not get link to activate Early Cash out and I am unable to cash out. Do you have any suggestion for it. Are we able to cash out the AMCO at the end of each month, because AMCO will reflect as Early cash out, but we are unable to cash out ECO. Is that mean we need to use AMCO for power upgrade and marketplace. Please let me know your thought process on this. Thanks.
Hi JC,
I can not hit the bid goal because of that. http://prntscr.com/c35dz2
What is this? I do not want to pay from paypal.
August 3, I had in my balance more then $4000 for purchase. http://prntscr.com/c3j8pm
Where did they disappear?
Before 1 August I could give very fast, a lot of bids, but now, when it is about the bid, the system works very slowly. Why? Please, fix the problem!
Yesterday was the second day when I can not hit the bid goal because of the sistem.
I can not waste my whole day in front of computer.
I am waiting for an answer.
Thank you!
Centiu, I am reviewing your issue. I appreciate your patience while I investigate! Thanks.
Centiu, I have sent you a message directly. Thanks!
Hi JC, Thanks for the wonderful blog update. I have been reading the blogs, especially the last one and this one. In regards to the Daily Goals, I hope there will be a new change on Daily Goals sometime. I cannot get all 4. Although I can do 3 goals so far. I'm sorry. To me, listing is the difficult one for me to do. I have been posting some status update on this as well. There are some that can do all 4 daily goals and some that feel the same way. I do hope it should be just Daily 3 (Bid, Post, Share) and take out listing or make the daily goals different. Or another one would be, what is it if you get all 3 and not all four of the goals? I wish there is something on what if you attempt all 3 goals and not 4... I have read on the previous blog that someone also mentioned similar as well. I do agree with that person that was mentioned on the blogs previous blogs about what if we don't hit the daily 4 but we get 2 or 3 completed. Other than that, I'll still think of ideas or comments. I hope to hear from you. Thank you!
Hi Elle- thank you for sharing your concerns. We will be sure to discuss this as a team. We completely understand that listing is a difficult goal, but we also want to recognize how important it is that we all aim to reach it. In order to the empowr economy to succeed, it NEEDS quality items listed.
Hi Ms Elle,
I can understand your feelings but every citizen should understand that posting, sharing, listing and bidding are all inter-related to each other that if you remove any one of them, the system would collapse. Lets say if everybody opts out from posting, where would you get posts to share or if everyone opts out from listing, from where would we get items to buy/bid. Please make a habit of selling something what may be invaluable to you but of course would be worth from others' view point. Wish you good luck to achieve all 4 daily goals in the coming days. I wish you all success on empowr.
Regards,
Regan J
Hi Mila and Hi Regan, thanks for your comment reply. Good input you guys have. I know listing should be important and that all four are inter-related to each other. Others I know can do the daily four, but what about others that cannot do all four but 3 of the Goals or 2 of the Goals?
But within the last few days, I can mostly do the 3 out of the four which are (bid, post, and share). Also, I just feel there should be an incentive for those who completed 3 out of the four or 2 out of the four daily goals for those who cannot do the daily four. For those who can do the 3 out of the four, they should also get some incentive too. Those who can complete the daily four as usual, I know that's awesome. I do like sponsoring other people's items if I can't be able to personally sell. Maybe Sponsoring with the listing/selling category... for the daily four...
If there was a new daily four and listing is not take out on the daily four, it would be something like this:
Listing/Selling/Sponsoring
Bid/Buying
Share
Post
I'm not sure if that would work, but that is if sponsoring is among the category of selling/listing. I was even thinking sponsoring should be on the daily four near with listing/selling...
I've been also posting similar comments to this on my status updates. I hope all is well. Thanks!
From,
Elle
Thanks for wonderful update. But please tell me one thing, if i bid on items Premium Blogs, Digital eBooks, photos, recipes etc, it counts in my daily bidding goal or not???
Abdul- for both bidding and listing goals, the items must be for products (blogs, ebooks, recipes, etc will not count.) Thanks!
Hi JC
I want to candidate for next election 2017 but I'm removed from SC program permanently 2 months ago.

Hessam Bakhshi
Hi Hessam, I have sent you a direct message. Thanks!
Please give us a freedom to delete our old selling list in marketplaces
Very good point
Indra and Patric- both great ideas, it is on our list of marketplace improvements! Thanks!
Hi . Please add new payout system which works for every country in the world . Our country banks do not accept checks , empowr does not accept my visa card and paypal does not receive payments for my country . Bank wire cashout or any payout system which works for all countries ( ex. Skrill ) could be very helpful . Thanks for attention
That's the same problem we are facing here in Cameroon. And there is another problem with early cash out. I have had a series of early cash outs but have never succeeded in cashing out. Each time I try and my cash out key is sent to my phone, many email address always show up and I end up loosing the money. I have complained about this issue until I am tired. I am almost loosing hopes on empowr, which I have build for over two years.
Hi Khayal, this is something the team is definitely working on. Please keep in mind that our main concern is to protect your account and earnings. and it is important that we maintain safe ways of delivering users their cash outs. We are continuously seeking new and convenient options, and this isn't something that the team takes lightly.
Thanks Mila . I hope everything will be good .
Thanks so much for your efforts JC.
But i have a very serious problem Which needs immediate attention. I have been downgraded from 2nd degree purple to first degree blue power user, on the basis that I didn't have enough earnings. This is so absurd. It has never happened before. I have been here for over two years and working so hard. Though I have never cashed out, I have always been up-to-date with my monthly fees and each month I have been earning enough to either renew or upgrade my power level. So I don't understand what happened to my earnings that I was unable to be upgraded instead. I reported the issue to my coach and he sent me a reply which did not tie to my account at all. And to my greatest dismere, my coach was changed, something which has been happening frequently for sometime now.
Why does empowr allow clients' coaches to be switched at random? When this is done, how do the coaches actually follow up their clients and effectively and efficiently resolve clients' issues? I suggest that new success coaches be given new clients instead and this issue of switching coaches without clients' consent be looked into. This is bringing alot of disorder in here.
Hi Miranda, we are so sorry to hear about your account troubles. We will gladly look into your account and see what the issue at hand is and why this occurred. I've also noted your suggestion regarding the Success Coach program and will be sure to discuss it with the team. Thanks for your patience!
Thanks a lot dear Mila. Waiting for a solution to be found. Remain blessed.
I appreciate the many improvements that Empowr is working to implement. I also believe that some of the listings people use to list were not valid items and it is good to remove those from the marketplace. However, there are items that can be sent electronically that do have value, items that can save people time are worth buying for some, but your post makes those items sound like they don't have value and should be rejected and removed from the marketplace.
I was so glad to see that the approval/rejection process will provide more info as well because there's nothing worse than a listing being rejected for no stated reason but I would ask that perhaps they reevaluate what leads to being banned from listing. After all we are all working hard to meet our goals. If something happens and due to a misunderstanding several items are rejected together, then I'd have to wait 7 days before I can list anything again. That's 7 days I can't meet my goals at all. I'm not sure what a better solution might be. Perhaps requiring watching a video series on listings, or some way to gain back the listing capability.
And as others have stated, we would all LOVE the ability to edit a listing, or delete it if there's an error when we list. Hopefully these are in the works. Also, it would be nice to be able to remove old listings from the I'm buying and I'm selling pages. or to archive them where they don't come up on the same list each time.
Hi DarkNymph, these are all excellent suggestions (that the team has discussed and are working on!). I completely agree that users should fully understand why a listing is rejected. Thankfully this information is now provided so that a user can learn from any listing mistakes. Stay tuned to more of JC's announcements, as I'm sure he will keep the community informed about upcoming changes. Thanks again!
I am loving the way it looks in the marketplace but there is something wrong with the advertising department
if I have $100, $300, or whatever amount in total for advertising then it only uses like yesterday Aug-08-16 empowr Ads Ads −$3.00 then that tells me there is something wrong in that department or they cannot met the advertising needs when I even had the pay per click as high as $1 dollar and it still only used $25 or $35 dollars then rest went back to my 90 day or 60 day balance.
Hello Richard, please contact me so we can discuss your concerns and investigate your ad campaigns.
Thank you,

Dear JC,
Thank you for the update.
My concern is empowr keeps listing and approving my digital products and I am hoping it is because they cannot be had free on the net.
When marking a listing as draft it lists.
Presently I cannot make blog as the icon picture does not show. The pop up is too small to see all the features. Pretty sure this is an easy fix but I do not know how to do it. And judging by all blogs without a good picture this is not an isolated occurrence
My message system does not reply.
I have a community rating of 588 which is noted as excellent on same message 139 unpaid sales against me. That would not happen if the system was working as it should
Receiving many cancelled sales. Talking 100s
Have $167.67 unutilized top ups from my paypal.
Balance to shop $676.15
My issues are not isolated to just me but each I talk to feels they have been lead to believe it is either problem with their computer or an issue so rare that they are the only one suffering.
I have not been able to access my I've sold page for over 7 months which means I cannot leave feedback to buyers.
I think, it's been so long since I've seen it I have forgotten.
Yes I am looking forward to the new improved marketplace.
Is there reason empowr cannot out source techs, to remotely access or team viewer each citizens account, to fix what to them would be very easy fixes.
I would gladly forgo my months AMCO to have this service
Better done before critical mass is achieved
Thank you,
Jan
HI Jan,
We thank you for listing out all of the issues that you are experiencing. We have listed them all and review them as a team. I think you will be very happy with the team's progress on fixing many issues with the marketplace.
The reason is simply resources. We are a small team with limited manpower and resources. Perhaps this will be a possibility in the future! Thanks again.
Dear Mila,
Thank you for replying,
Jan
From my standpoint, it is important to make comments that are aimed at improving the future of Empowr and making it possible to grow as a reputable, reliable eCommerce portal.
There are many technical issues still with platform and the accounts. But, I do not think this is the place to open that "Pandora Box"
What I want to point out is the current state of the marketplace. Close to 95% of items listed for sale are recipes. In terms of value added for an economy and for an organization that wants to grow as reputable to attract business owners seeking to sell their products, making recipes the main niche market that is selling in Empowr is self defeating. This is issue needs urgent addressing if we want to build an Empowr as reputable and as a serious eCommerce portal the like of Amazon and eBay.
I truly think Empowr can be successful. However, that will require some serious Corporate Strategic Planning. I have not seen this even understood correctly.
Hi Idriss, thanks for reaching out. What you're mentioning is exactly what JC brings up in a couple of his previous blogs. This is the reason why only Product count toward your daily goals. This is empowr's way of ensuring that quality items become the main component of the marketplace. As a community, we must be sure that what we're listing is of quality-- if you're listing something, make sure that it's something that you yourself would by. This should help phase out the less lucrative, meaningless items currently for sale.
Yes, Mila.. Thank you for your kind reply. However, it is unrealistic to think that an individual has in their home, items to list everyday, to meet their goals 365 days a year. That is not going to be the case. One is lucky if they can find items of value in their belongings they can list everyday for a full month. We need to look at these monthly goals in a realistic manner, not mere theoretical thinking.
There is an option to be considered: Empowr citizens referring small business owners to open accounts and list their products. Those small business owners may have inventory large enough and of high quality enough to meet the demand from buyers both inside and outside of Empowr. For this to be feasible and sustainable, few technical and marketing aspects will need to be ironed out.
In short, the three points I want to make are:
1. The sooner we get rid of recipes being sold at Empowr, the better
2. Individuals do not have unlimited items of market value to list everyday, meet their goals and keep it for a long period of time. It is not even realistic to think it as a possibility let alone an option and a viable strategy.
3. Only businesses with large inventory can have a regular supply of listings of which value matches the competition and keep it in a sustainable manner.
These are the issues that need urgent focus and a planning approach.
Idriss if I understand you correctly we would not allow sponsoring because I am a business and I do allow sponsoring here but if I had to list my other products on this website, I would need the money right away to stay in business so there would need to be a way to pay out as soon as items sold or within net 30. I would never allow sponsoring of my items. I want to sell and get my profit.
Hi Johnny,
Thanks for updating important announcements.
With the thoughts on bringing our new empowr president,
It is a really good idea, but I don't find this is the right time to initiate in our community.
Working with Brian in past, he has come up with a business background and has a great vision towards improving our empowr marketplace like we are seeing it these days. There is a lot more to do - including sponsoring cases, disputes, identifying real transactions, work around to help sellers, authenticated AMCO with real transactions, bringing many coaches, listing moderation, fixing important bugs, issue tracking system, and much more if we look into other features.
We love to have Brian continue as our President for few more years until we stabilize our sources and economy. We can later think of having/ training our next empowr leaders.
This is great updates, thanks for fixing all the glitches and bugs.
Can you please fix your app, I can only like, not comment, fan or post photos, nor bid
Mazzie, thanks for letting us know. We are currently focusing on making many changes for our app. We will keep the community up to date as progress is made regarding the issues that you've listed.
