Require a certain reputation before big sells are allowed

[Juliebabe25]

You may be right, but I do want to make it clear it is NOT an "American expression"

OK, I believe you!

[SherMari]

I wish they would use proper English.
That term just grates on me.
Its not even a shortcut, its the same number of characters.

We do use proper English and I have never heard of big sells. It must be something like high dollar value items

[Juliebabe25]

Its not only big sells.

Its "Any sells ?"

We don't need any more obstacles put in the way of selling on here.If you aren't happy then don't bid or buy.
Simples.

[HelenAndGraham]

Oh no baconsdozen!

I guess we will now need a couple of pages more about the use of "s" on the end of "simple".

What was this thread originally about?

I'm pretty sure the thread was about proper grammar.

Meerkats and compare the market.com
Simples.
And remember,advertising sells.

I don't think so, but then as with a lot of threads it has taken on a life of it's own. I do hope the OP got his question answered.

[darklisruthven]

yep, I found as my feedback built up, the more sales I got.

Personally when buying I reckon things are pretty OK if I pay via Paypal, but then I cant afford expensive things anyway, LOL.

Has eBid ever considered requiring a certain reputation from sellers before they start selling high dollar items?

I'm sick of every time I search for something, coming across auctions where the seller has 10 of my item, and is expecting some sort of price, and I have absolutely no idea whether to trust him or not.

If you use Advanced Search you can restrict the results based on the feedback score of sellers.

Feedback is not the be all and end all of trusting a seller though. Kimbo did a good 'Safe Buying Checklist' which should mitigate the risk. A copy (used with permission) at: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/astral....icks.htm#a0034

Always, if you have any doubts about a seller - walk away.
