Invite a Friend, Better Messaging, and a Bunch of Fixes
We shipped a batch of improvements today — here's what's new:
Invite a Friend
You can now invite friends to Polaris Cards, either by sharing your personal invite link or sending email invites directly from your account. Find it under Account → Invite a friend.
Faster, More Reliable Chat
Messages now appear in your conversation instantly. We also fixed a bug where pressing Enter twice quickly could send a message twice, and added a "Retry" option for the rare case a message fails to send.
Profile Photo Fixes
Changing or removing your profile photo now actually works — previously, uploading a new photo would silently fail to update.
Easier to Find "Start Selling"
There's now a "Start selling" button right in the navigation bar, so getting set up as a seller is just one click away no matter where you are on the site.
International Shipping Fix
Fixed a bug where buyers could be incorrectly blocked from purchasing from sellers who ship internationally using manual shipping rates.
Behind the Scenes
We've made improvements to our email delivery to make sure verification emails, chat notifications, and other account emails land reliably in your inbox. We still suggest you to check your spam folder if you didn't receive an email that you were anticipating.
