    Hi All,

    It would be really nice two have below two functionality added to the market place.
    • Instead of bid getting accepted automatically, let the seller decide if he wants to accept bid from that particular buyer or not. This is because many a times a non-buying intended buyer bids and crosses the reserve price and never turns to pay for it. And because of this our listing gets wasted and had to wait for another months to relist and 7 days for premium member.
    • Add a red flag indicator for non-paying member so that seller can verify before accepting the bid.
    This will help taking the market place of digital point to next level.

    Please leave a feedback or comment if any.

    Thanks

    I think this is a great idea, and should at least be tried out in a beta stage.

    I agree with this, especially the red flag portion. Non-paying bidders are a hassle, especially when non-premium members need to wait 30 days to relist! The flag could also alert mods/admin and allow them to override that restriction so the seller isn't the one punished. Ultimately they are the one who suffers with the current setup.

    Good Idea!

    The buyer should have a certain amount of time to pay, and if they don't - the seller can relist the site immediately.

    I know it may be expensive to implement these features, why not start a collection?

    Personally, I would be more than happy to donate towards the programming costs.

    I LOVE Digital Point and am so happy I never have to use Flippa again :)

    Currently buyer gets 7 days to pay. If they dont within 7 days you can cancel the bid and select reason to cancel the bid (raises -ve marking) against the buyer. But i dont think that is visible to any member.
    that would be really tough job to get collection. I don't think except few any one would be ready to pay. And me, I hardly make money. May be around 100$ a month. If I get some kind of regular work for which I get paid..I am ready to pay for the programming cost. :)

    I look at is as an investment.

    The better the DP marketplace is, the more money we make.

    I would donate $100 toward the functionality.
