Stronger marketplace requirements

    I'm not sure how many posts are required for people to get into the BST forums but i think DP administration should make it harder for scammers to get into the marketplace

    people who just register and come to bid on an auction are not trusted and the seller won't care about their bid anyways so why we allow them to get into the marketplace to place fake bids ?

    also there are some people who bid or bin then when they win the auction they don't respond or pay and thus wasting the seller's time while he maybe in an urgent need of money

    i think there would be more ideas to make the business more reliable here that's why i opened this thread. suggestions needed and i hope DP administration gets into the conversation and discuss this issue and react about it

    If you're not even sure what the requirements are how do you know they are not good enough already?

    I know they aren't enough because i see trades falling due to newbies getting into auctions

    checking BST sections will show what i say and i think most of us ran through this experience already

    I dont think this is a huge problem or something
    There may be few who just register in DP and start posting in Buy Sell Trade forums
    they are all crap
    but there are few who pays, I have got to trade with such people too they just have 20 odd posts but they dont cheat
    So you cannot say that everyone newly registered is a Scammer or something ;)

    maybe the requirement to start a thread in BST should be extended to 'post' in BST. all i need to do is post "Pm me the details" 25 times and voila! i get to start a new thread! (in addition to 14 days)
