From his highly publicized obsession with sneakers to his renowned work as a talented DJ, DJ AM (aka Adam Goldstein) was every bit of a cultural icon to the sneakerhead community as he was to the music industry. We here at SneakerListing are saddened by the news and our hearts go out to his friends and family. Although his recent life was plagued by unfortunate events and bouts with substance abuse, we encourage everyone to celebrate his life, one that is filled with dedication to music and  a passion for sneakers.

This topic has been beaten to a dead horse by now but I personally would like to know how our users feel about the upcoming releases of these retros.The Jordan XII “Flu Game” has already been available for early purchase and the Jordan XI “Space Jam” have just been spotted on osneaker.com at a premium price ($300). For the rest of us that are holding out until the actual release date, we pose the question…

My original intention was to simplify the listing process for selling sneakers on the web and place as little restrictions on sellers as possible. However, without at least some structure and guidelines, we can not ensure an environment that instills confidence in the shoppers.

Listing Guidelines

1. All fields are required. You must fill in all fields when listing
2. The photo upload requirements must be followed. All five photos must be uploaded and they must be photos of the specified type. They are spelled out in RED next to each upload form.
3. DO NOT post images that are professionally taken product photos that you do not own. You must post photos according to the types stated on the listing form.
4. Photos must be clear, not fuzzy or distorted.
5. Photos must be big enough to see the condition of the shoe clearly
6. Photos of the UPC and the size label must be large enough to be read. If you can’t read the text on the label, then it’s too small.
7. DO NOT provide descriptions that are generic ad copies or paragraphs taken from other websites’ sneaker history pages. For example, do not write: “Released in 1985, the Air Jordan 1 was a breakthrough in basketball shoe design…”. Write something specific to the pair that you’re selling. For example: “I’m selling my Air Jordans I’s in Black/Red, I bought it on launch date and is deadstock…”
8. Entire Lots are not allowed. You must list each pair separately
9. DO NOT Include links to auction sites. Your listing will be removed
10. Shop owners are no longer allowed to post their stock in bulk on our listings.  If you are a shop owner and are interested in advertising or other partnership opportunities, we would be happy to work with you. Otherwise, each pair must be listed as stated above.

All listings submitted will go through moderation before they are approved. If the above guidelines are not adhere to, the system will e-mail you to fix your listings. We reserve the right to immediately remove any non-compliant listings.

This post will continue to be updated as new guidelines emerge as necessary. All of the above are subject to change.

I would like to also point out that the above was provided by one of our users, once again this is the feedback of the community at work! Thanks again and keep the suggestions coming!

Last night I had the privilege of chatting with the OSD crew regarding SneakerListing.com. As this was my first ever (public) interview, there was certainly a level of nervousness. And it was evident in my “ums” and “ya knows”. However, as the conversation went on, what I realized is that by going on to the show I was given the opportunity to feel the pulse of the community.

Here was my chance not to show off, or just take pride in what we’ve made but really listen to what sneakerheads wanted. I began telling myself that this is what Ray and I needed, the true feedback of the users. They bring up some excellent points and I will add all of those things to my todo list in the coming days and weeks. To bring something that’s valuable to the sneaker culture is not only to create something that everyone thinks is cool or simply looks pretty, but it must address the needs of our users. Otherwise, we would have failed.

Our message from day one is that this project is an evolving one, meaning it will shape and form with the needs and feedback of the users, and only then will it succeed. SneakerListing.com is not simply a website that we own, but it is an entity that belongs to the entire sneaker culture. I encourage everyone to continue giving us your suggestions so that we can live up to to your expectations in being the centralized marketplace for sneakers.

SneakerListing is currently in beta testing mode. Here’s what that means: the site works, but not 100%. In the words of Facebook, there are still some kinks that we are working through. The system is not quite perfect yet, but hopefully will be in due time. We would like to ask for your help in getting us out of beta! As you begin using the site, please do not hesitate to raise your concerns or questions. If you see something wrong, please let us know. As I’ve stated since day one, the site will evolve with our user’s feedback.

There are two ways in which you can submit feedback:

1. Click on the Feedback tab at the right edge of the browser window.
2. E-mail us at feedback@sneakerlisting.com, in the subject of the e-mail, type “Beta Feedback”.

(Please refrain from submitting site feedback on the comments sections of the listings.)

Thanks for the help and understanding, now go on, list away! =)
