Can you show backs too please?
It seems most sellers are not making use of the Condition section accurately.
Most postcards are noted as 'other' when in fact they are postally used or unused. I like buying used cards - postmarked with stamps and with writing on the back as it tells so much more about the history of a place.
Clicking 'used' under condition is useless as very few cards come up in the search.
It is very time-consuming having to open each card to view the back. Can you add an option to 'show backs' like other postcard sites like cardcow.com for example so you can instantly see the front and back of the card?
This would make searching and buying so much easier for folks like me who only buy used cards.
Another suggestion: post guidelines and educate sellers about the various conditions of cards and encourage them to make better use of the 'condition' feature. Thanks lots!

As a collector, I do like the idea of being able to see both sides of cards simultaneously.

1 the front
2 The reverse
3 a blow up of the date and postmark....
That may get more traffic
HipPostcard should make this mandatory.
Then there is the frustration of buyers like me who have to spend so much time stumbling over all the cards visited one-by-one to find the Used back side is not shown. It does make one think about going elsewhere! Thanks for considering my complaint.
