Can we give suggestions for improvement to FBAscout?

I don't want to step on toes so if I am doing that, I apologize up front.

I am using FBAscout and LOVE it! It is a fantastic service, much better than any of the other available services out there. After using it for a while, I am finding a few things that I believe would make your product more user friendly. I have a couple of suggestions that would be a great help for me (and I suspect others) for things to add to FBAscout.

1. For items where there are no FBA offers, it would be nice if there could still be a price with a net payout in that column to use as a reference. I am thinking that the number be in a very different color so it looks obviously different than the standard FBA color and maybe it be based off of the Amazon price (if they have it) or the lowest used or new price. This would be particularly helpful for oversized or heavy items. As long as it is clearly colored in a way that you know that this is a sample net payout and not a real FBA offer, I think it would be a great help instead of having to go to the FBA calculator on a smart phone.

2. Add a "Stop" button. There are times when I scan something not realizing that there are tons of offers or tons of variations and that literally will freeze the phone for several minutes. It would be nice to be able to stop the process and move on. There have been some items where I have had to reboot my phone just to get it to stop working.

3. Put some sort of identifier if an item is in a restricted category. Maybe change the color of the title to bright red or something like that. I know that you don't know what we are and are not approved for but we do. As long as we have some sort of warning that an item is in a restricted category, we will then know if we have the required approval. As an example, I picked up some golf ball finding glasses and they were in the sporting/outdoor category so I thought I was good to go. Well evidently they were in a sub-category that was restricted. Does the Amazon feed give individual item restrictions or just main category restrictions?

These are just a few items that I have found would be very helpful since using the product. Again, I really like FBAscout and even if you didn't make any changes it is still the best service out there for FBA scouting. Thanks for your time and effort in providing this service for us to use.
