I just discovered that it is no longer possible to get to a shop page with a simple catawiki url. Previously, this was always possible via www.catawiki.nl/username , but now you are guided to the auctions with such a link. I don't know when or why it changed, but it is not very user-friendly.

I don't think this is intentional, because those URLs are used by many shops on other websites. Also reported. Pff.

I also had my doubts, but you will not be directed to the main page www.catawiki.nl (which also only promotes the auctions), but specifically to auction.catawiki.nl.
That does not seem like a bug to me, but of course I hope I am wrong.

www.catawiki.nl/shops/shopname looks like it (still) works.

It was intentional, I just heard, but they forgot to report it. Apology accepted. (;-) Those links were rarely used and sometimes conflicted with Catawiki's own URLs. The URLs www.catawiki.nl/shops/rekenshopnaam] will remain.

What's "rarely", what's "sometimes"? I don't get a good feeling from this kind of sneaky action, even if it was not intended.

By the way, it is not Www.catawiki.nl/shops/rekenshopname] but www.catawiki.nl/shops / [username]
(although that's the same for most).

I don't know, Peter. They ran into it in March when they started with Italian. Since this was only completed last week, it is plausible that they forgot to report it to me. Although I would immediately report it as soon as I would run into it. But yes ... Thanks for the correction of the URL. I never use that feature.
