2. How do we figure out what to post to Pinterest?
We are trying to post newly listed items that have good quality photos. If you would like to suggest a specific topic or item, drop us an email at support@tias.com

3. The "Pay for Play" version of Google shopping.
As the ecommerce media has mentioned, (see: http://www.ecommercebytes.com/cab/abn/y12/m08/i07/s03 ) getting inventory listed on Google shopping is no longer going to be free starting October 1, 2012. Over the past month we've started to see a decline in referrals from Google shopping as Google started to make changes to how they list merchandise on their site.
Earlier this week, we started paying for our listings in Google shopping, to test their new system and see if it will generate additional sales for our merchants. We'll be closely monitoring this as we move into the Holiday shopping season.
