Hello Matt,

Nice of you to join and explain how the marketplace functions from sellers' angle. Just like Michael (Blue) mentioned above, I wasn't aware that this is the format you decided to go with. While I do not agree with it, I guess my option as a qualified buyer is to go on a one-by-one basis: if I don't like seller's behavior toward my (or someone else) questions, then it would raise a flag to ignore the sale. However, this would not protect you if someone else places a BIN without seeing the mistakes I did in a sale, or at least seeing the questions. I think that a certain level of challenge should be present in a marketplace - at least for mods eyes to view. One of the advantages of the community is in itself - someone might ask a question I can overlook by accident, so members protecting each other. At the same time, it would provide a learning environment for users who are new to Internet business - they can learn asking the right questions, detect mistakes faster.

Again, thank you for the insights, I appreciate your effort. However, with the new information learned, I guess I will just avoid the marketplace section for Website and Domain sales altogether after my experience (unfortunately I have to make that decision for myself). However, the contest forums will still work since the product is visual and the only question you as a buyer have to ask yourself is whether you like it or not. The product is out in the open.

Best,
