MarketPlace suggestions.

[James Carpenter]

Just a couple of Tuesday morning thoughts:

• Can we make it compulsory for sellers to include personalized photo's of the items they are trying to sell? A simple piece of paper with your forum name and the date would suffice in my opinion, but it would make me feel a lot better about buying stuff from someone I've never met before. Just ensure the paper is in each shot of products for sale.

• Also, can we set up a thread to rate the seller/buyers, much like eBay? I recently bought batteries and a rain slicker from DVXUsers and feel that the community would benefit from knowing that these individuals were stand-up guys and sold good products.

the first point I would love, I always feel better as well knowing its not something dragged off google.

Regarding the second, I wonder how that could be implemented by only people that buy their products, if someone had a grudge against me, whats to stop them from creating a few accounts ad ruining my "reputation"

As far as the 'rep' goes, I comment in the FS thread after everything's settled. Not ideal, but better than nothing.

exactly my point

true, but I imagine that wouldn't happen very often unless you have a lot of enemies
