Quick sellers

Steve can you make the "location" field mandatory on the sign up page? If someone is really against giving their location than they can just something bogus.

That's something that would require a bit of programming to change I think. Unfortunately there is no setting that I can change to make it mandatory.

Same goes for a feedback option on the forum....more programming changes.

OK thanks. I know on some message board software it's just an option in the board settings as to what information/fields are required at time of sign up.

I'm with Uncle Stretch on this one. I can't imagine buying something sight-unseen, and I'd sure as heck never consider trying to sell something without (detailed!) pics to show what I was selling. And why would listing the price even be a question??? This isn't an auction site!
I fully understand that having a min. post count might possibly chase off some new users, but isn't that a small price to pay to help guarantee the integrity of dealings amongst the rest of us?
Just my 2 cents.

I think the reason some people want to e-mail pics instead of posting them is due space/bandwidth constraints on their website/server. Also, given the state of the economy, some people can't justify the expense of a digital camera, and must depend on someone else to take pictures.

I vote...

Pics = mandatory
Price = mandatory
Location = mandatory
Paypal = optional... not everyone has it, or is willing to use it.
Intro = optional
Feedback = already a thread for that I believe

And once its decided, post it up as a sticky in the for sale forum, then mods can see fit to enforce the rules.

Oh... and its always a good idea that if you sell items, a 5% donation to the site would be welcome.

I second that vote. I am a newby, myself.
