Race4LastPlace 31 Report post Posted January 1, 2010 Is there an easy way to set up the good buy / good sell stats as part of the paying Members+ profiles, along with the dates and buying / selling partners? The person buying / selling with the other member would be the one who gives a +1 or a -1, and maybe a short comment.That way, when people are researching a potential buyer / seller, they can see the history more easily.Actually, i think there may be a way to do this. If you click on a member name----> view member profile. From there every member has a "COMMENT" box in the lower right. There you can write in a +/- 1, and a short comment, and it will be available for all to see. If that's done, all one would have to do to check references is look in that comment box...Just a thought... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The feature works, and I think that it would be a very easy way to check references.Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beerleaguecaptain 999 Report post Posted January 1, 2010 I've made a few deals of the years and all very succesfully. Charging a service fee is appropriate. The site should not cost you money and quite frankly if you made a profit it is well deserved. If at some point you find you are still getting bad trades you might consider raising the fee but then providing a bag, towel, shirt or something. You might make a tad more $ but more imortantly further deter scammers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted January 2, 2010 You might make a tad more $ but more imortantly further deter scammers.We don't mind leaving money on the table and we were concerned about pricing out the casual buyers. I would rather have more people participate than anything else.I don't know... $0.85 per month? Could lead to financial ruin.Most people look at the big numbers, not the monthly average and round numbers are easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 I think the mere fact that their name/paypal email address may or may not be saved on file may deter scammers. I know that my paypal email is different than the email I use to sign up for forums/buy from online stores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
