Birthday Bash

2008-06-12T12:31:00.002-04:00

Monday, May 26th, marked the 9th anniversary of our internet debut. In an effort to show our appreciation to each of you for helping to make JustBeads.com the truly viable alternative to those "other" sites that you have helped to make it become, we offered a 15% discount on ALL Buy It Now auctions that were purchased on that day....And...It was a HUGE success! More than 100 BuyNow auctions were bought! When you take into account that an equally large number of "standard" auctions were also bought on that day, you all showed once again that with YOUR support ANYTHING is possible. We would like to take this moment to thank each and every one of you for making JustBeads.com the success that it has become and ask for your continued support as we strive to make JustBeads.com the Best Bead site ANYWHERE!

Happy Birthday!

2008-05-04T13:30:00.001-04:00

JustBeads.com will be celebrating our 9th Anniversary on Monday May 26 2007 and we invite everyone to participate in the festivities! As a way of expressing our gratitude to each and every one of you, we will be offering a 15% discount to anyone who purchases a "BuyitNow" auction from any seller between 00:00:01AM and 11:59:59PM (Eastern time) on May 26th.

BUYERS: We hope that you will take advantage of the 15% discount to purchase some of the awesome beads that can be found here at JustBeads.com! Please let all of your friends know about it as well! All you need do is deduct the 15% from the price of the bead(s) purchased and send payment to the seller for the price of the bead minus the 15% discount. (Shipping is NOT included in the discount offer). There is NO LIMIT to the quantity or total dollar amount of items you may purchase.
SELLERS: We hope that you will make certain that you have plenty of items posted as "BuyitNow" auctions. Sellers should post items at their regular prices and deduct 15% from the final sale price, (shipping is NOT included in the calculation of the 15% discount). It will be the responsiblity of the SELLER to notify JustBeads.com of all item numbers for which they have provided a discount. Upon notification, JustBeads will credit seller accounts for the full dollar amounts discounted.
Other exciting festivities are also planned so make sure that you check back with us often for announcements.
Bettina and I, (on behalf of all of our behind the scenes staff), would like to thank each of you for your support over the years in helping to make JustBeads.com the huge success that it has become. With your help in getting the word "out there", and your continued support, the sky is the limit!
Thank you! ... Thank you! ... Thank you!

Here They Come Again!

2007-07-06T22:36:00.000-04:00

We've unleashed our programmers again. Over the last several days we have been working feverishly to make JustBeads.com even more User Friendly and Intuitive. We have already completed work on two features and will be releasing others as work is completed.

"Block a Bidder" Although we would all prefer to be INCLUSIVE rather than EXCLUSIVE, we understand that, unfortunately, there are times when this tool will become necessary. Sellers can access this tool by clicking on "For Sellers" at the top of any of our pages and then on "Block a Bidder".
"Lost User Name/Password" We've made recovering lost User Names and Passwords much more User Friendly. Simply provide us with your email address, and we will zip them off to you immediately. You no longer need to know your "Keyword".....What the heck is a "keyword" anyway?

Watch for other exciting changes, including a "Save Favorite Sellers" feature and easier "Feedback" access.

We want to make the JustBeads.com Bead Auction site the best bead site ANYWHERE! If you have any suggestions that would help make your visits with us MORE enjoyable, please let us know. We'd be happy to consider them!
