No, even you are a customer and have bought some in the shop, he have to agree to recieve follow up emails.
Too many court decisions about that - just use your preferred search engine (while most of those articles will be in German, I am shure you will understand them ..).
There is a big difference of several laws between those countries/continents.

So how come Amazon and eBay send these all day long without getting in to trouble?

That goes beyond the scope of this thread.
But if you like, we can discuss that in another (new) one.

ps: beside this, also these companies are paying a lot of penalties .. but they have enough.
And for example Amazon has settings belong to these rules the customer has to agree with (just checked).
Too lazy to look after eBay, but I am sure they will have too.

Then OpenCart can do the same

That is not entirely true. Amazon does have restrictive scope settings to where other Countries may not be able to apply certain features via the API.

Lets make this simple again... Just add an opt-in/out follow-up checkbox

Nothing illegal, not complicated, nothing to debate, just a checkbox and an automated script

Didn't need to become a full-blown legal debate

A checkbox wouldn't be effective based on what Amazon API already restricts from the source. A merchant could just checkmark an option while the provider may not consider the selected option based around the area where the merchant may be located. Granted, it is not illegal, not complicated nor a debate but simply a restrictive administrative decision on their end.

Spot on, it's almost like hearing myself speaking!

usage of search tags as a keyword..

HI
I update my extension keyword and work correctly but yesterday i checked my extension all keyword are unique but when i filter my extension its go down.

any suggestion how to implement our extensions?

Thanks

Hi.

Similar problem.
Some of my extensions have disappeared from marketplace searches.
Marketplace extensions search results are not relevant to the searched words.

Does anyone know anything about this?

This issue started yesterday. I assume Daniel changed something in how the search works on the site temporarily, but it appears to be fixed today.
