100 post to sell sure but not to buy
I was signed up before that rule was made i guess. When i first started to sell i had maybe 25 post if i was lucky. Never had any problems because i made it a point to buy first get some rep on the forums then sell. Which that approach worked out fine for me and havent had any problems. Althought i would have been fine with haveing to post 100x to sell but deff not to buy.I think if you have lower feedback and or not a long standing respected member you should half to send/pay first.
This usually saves you alot of greif, in regards to being ripped off anyhow.
I do have my own spin on this plan however so here it goes.
1.If you must 100 post sell.
A. The post should be check once its reaches 100 for spaming before aprouved to sell.
B. I think only post that should count towards you post total(which might already be so ) is post in general discussion,suggestion,feedback and tech forums.Or any other part of the forums that add to the community and make you apart of it.This way you cant run to the war room and post like crazy for your 100 post (lonesage

).
2. I think adding a feedback way point should be required aswell. I dont know say 5-10 posotive buying/tradeing feedback. This way on top of being active in the community you also have a good rep based on the way you handle yourself during transactions. Also it has already been said i think, you can expereince how thing are and should be done here.
3. Ebay feedback linking is indeed interesting but problem matice aswell.You can always link to it in your sig anyhow. I am a firm believer that feedback from other places is good to judge if you personally want to do buisness with someone but should have no bareing on your rep in the place you are trying to buisness at that point in time. In this regard i would half to vote NO on this one.
4. I would also like to add in that you should only be able to sell so many things at once or so many transactions at once that involve alot of items.Until those are finished you shouldnt be able to sell anythingelse.Like maybe 10 items or transactions at a time or something. I say this only because i have noticed that alot of new folk and long time members get into a bind when trying to do to many trasactions at a time . Now i know this would be a hinderance on big time sellers who do alot of buisness here but you could maybe throw in your own rules to help this issue.
I have alot more things to add but at this moment i must retire to the bed for alittle sleep.This should do for now but i will be back

. Talk it over and ill be here latter to delve into this issue further.
P.S. If you notice my post count and my feedback. I am not being biest i am potentionally ruleing myself out as a seller cheers.....
Thx for reading this far into my rant.
