I know that this was a topic once discussed but the volume of new users and selling threads seem to be increasing.

 

Was there any decision made that new users need to wait a certain amount of time before selling in the market place?

 

 

 

 

After every VCC there seems to be a bump in the number of new sellers.

 

I'm still against any sort of restrictions on who can and can't sell here. I think us boardies do a great job of policing this place and the law-breakers are usually swiftly vanquished.

 

Sadly, there are those few enablers who buy from sellers who don't post prices or follow the rules. And those people suck.

 

A few? There's plenty! These fly-by-night sellers should be ignored or pointed to the rules and then ignored, but some people have to have their comics and encourage these guys either through buying or bumping their threads with chatter. I tired quickly from pointing out the rules to these sellers, because I'm then lambasted by other board members.

 

Restricting new sellers to a minimum of posts before they can sell isn't really that much of an imposition or restriction.

 

Yeah, this is the thing that drives me nuts, too. If someone who wants to sell here can't so much as read the rules, then someone apprising them of the rules should be the first post following

Added a suggested "reminder" letter to the guidelines post. I'm not sure if people will like the idea, but it might allow everyone to help keep the guidelines alive without things getting personal.

I had an interesting exchange with a new member who wanted to trade a book...he had posted a thread after less than 20 posts about a trade..

 

I had the books and asked about his ebay feedback...he said his feedback was 97.7 percent, so I kind of skipped the offer..but when I looked, it was wrong, it was 99.7 percent. so I wrote back and asked how he would ship his book and if he would consider shipping his first, since I did have long time references, and much more feedback...

 

He decided I was insulting and paranoid...and it made him ill...

 

I kinda sorta thought I was asking reasonable questions...but I also thought that perhaps if this not named individual made other suggestions about trades, that some of you here, might want a heads up and might want to be insulting and paranoid...

 

I wonder sometimes what on earth people are thinking?

 

I've never been called insulting and paranoid before...learn something every day:) :acclaim:
