Shop = place you sell things Gallery = place you display things you have no intention of selling
If these people who are using their shop as a gallery I don't understand why they can't take the 30 seconds to switch it. :( They likely already have a shop for the purpose of selling their junk... why do you need two?
It doesn't bother me very much either way but It would make sense to use the proper one!
ps stijn you're soooooo young and youthful. Too bad we can't say that about some of the other users. :(

i'm certainly not a programmer or professional coder by any means, but it would seem that if it were possible to set a minimum limit to the number of items sold in a shop -- the system could automatically register those as SHOPS... thereby overriding a users personal shop/gallery choice.
in short -- perhaps a user would have to have X number of items priced before the system recognizes it as a shop (solely for the HS purpose, of course). but again, it's easier to imagine compromises than to put them in to practice. so who knows.

Lol, well to be honest I think I wouldn't have changed it either. xD
Although, I do agree that it should be considered a gallery if your not selling anything.
It's kind of like walking into Walmart (or any store), wanting to buy something, but nothing is for sale. It's all on display.
