Hey everyone, just wanted to share my recent experience and see if anyone else is in the same boat. I’m based in NY and usually have a lot of UK buyers.

As you all know, views have been tanking lately. I used to sell at least one item a day, but about two weeks ago, my views suddenly hit zero and UK sales completely dried up. After seeing similar posts here, I figured it was a sitewide glitch, so I decided to just wait it out without posting anything new.

Fast forward to this week—suddenly, my views and favorites started spiking again! I thought, "Finally, things are back to normal," so I listed some new items yesterday. But to my surprise, the new listings are getting zero traction, even though they’re popular brands at great prices. To make it worse, even my old listings have stopped getting views and favorites entirely.

My theory is that uploading new items somehow triggered a shadow ban or made my profile invisible again lol just wanted to share this frustrating cycle.

Hi everyone! I’m relocating from the US to London soon and would love some local insights. I’m a big runner, so I’m looking for a neighborhood that’s great for outdoor runs, ideally near a park or the river.

I’ve only visited as a tourist, so I only really know Hyde Park and Regent’s Park. My office is in Victoria, so I’m looking for somewhere within walking distance or a direct tube line away. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hi everyone, I’m in a bit of a dilemma and could use some advice from those who’ve been in a similar spot.

I am moving to London in July 2026 for work, but I noticed the 2027 ballot closes on May 1st. I want to register as a UK resident if it's possible.

1. Address**:** Since I haven’t secured my own flat yet, can I use a friend's / office address for the ballot now and update it to my permanent one later?

2. Payment**:** If I get lucky and win, can I use a non-UK credit card to pay the UK entry fee?

I know the chances are low regardless, but I want to know how strict is the residency verification during the application process is. If I'm disqualified, I'd rather apply as an international but just wanna increase my possibility and lower the price.

Any insights would be much appreciated!
