Hopefully this will reduce the enormous amount of spammy looking products that show up whenever we filter the searches by newest!

Any idea when this feature is available again?

It would have been nice to have been given some notice of its removal beforehand.
Holidays are over, please reinstate it.

 A little notice would have been helpful. I don’t generally spend a lot of time in the forums anymore so I never saw the notice. 
I can understand trying to find ways to prevent spam in the MP. But a decision like this crushes artists like me. 

I am in the process of rebuilding my Gothic Girls shop after closing everything down a few years ago. I have nearly 600 artworks to republish on the 30ish core products that I use. Even if I create those products based on my “favorite” artworks first, the amount of time it will take to populate 18,000 products makes it complete out of range based on hours worked against profit gained. And I can’t be the only artist who looks at that mountain and just wants to give up. I’ve been here since 2008 and sometimes I still just have to shake my head. :disappointed_face:

Would like to know when it is likely to come back online, too.  I had started to do some updating before the holidays, but as daunting and time consuming as it is with quick create, it was way too much to even approach without it.  :confused: 

Honestly, as large as the catalog of items has gotten, I’d love to see a modernization of the tool.  For instance, the ability to adjust the design for (a subset of) all available items while only counting as a single listing in terms of SEO/description/keywords and such - like how it’s already offered to transfer the design to new items.

But, it’s still better than having to build a given design completely over for every item.

probably not. zazzle loves to make problems, not fix them

ive been emailing them to fix the bugs in quick create for years & got nothing but bs answers in return.

Wondering when it was coming back, too.  New ideas that one at a time just takes too much time.  One vote for its quick (create) return.

Scott please, it’s been a week, could you push for something? It seemed like you guys just flipped a switch and took it down, why is it taking so long? If it’s communication delays let us know, I’ve been itching to get back to creating but quick create would make it smoother for me and many others. I’m sitting on the edge of my seat so to speak lol

Do we have any further information on this yet Scott?

Thanks,

Zazzle guys, are you still celebrating Christmas? Don’t you think your holiday season has dragged on for too long? It’s February. Open your calendar and turn on the Quick Create option. Please?

I asked way back on the 14th myself, I don’t care much for this silent treatment this is completely ridiculous.

Its kind of like if they ignore us..maybe we’ll forget about it and go away.

Or because they aren’t seeing a heap of shop owners post about it, they don;t think its worth reinstating it.

Gosh the mind comes up with all sorts of scenarios, would be much quicker and easier if they would just politely let us all know what is going on with it
