Many sites are sold based on Google AdSense income; however, it is difficult for buyers to verify claims made by sellers about the amount of income being generated through AdSense. The Marketplace system should (with seller’s permission) reach into the seller’s AdSense account and pull out income information. 86 4 under review 781 General general As a few users have pointed out, automated verification of income may not be possible. We may instead provide a “SitePoint-verified income” upgrade that the seller could pay for, after which a SitePoint staff member would contact the seller and work to verify the stated income.

I suggest that Sitepoint integrate an escrow service into the marketplace. Something like the way rentacoder has. For a Buyer, they would have to deposit funds before they could bid on any item. This requires alot of think, but it's just an idea that I think should be considered. 281 6 planned 781 General general 10174 babyboy808 babyboy808 babyboy808 2008-05-29T23:28:17Z 2009-03-26T20:11:15Z general 5462 http://marketplace.uservoice.com/pages/781-general/suggestions/5462-don-t-allow-owner-to-delete-member-comments- Don't allow auction owner to delete member comments in his auctions.

Don't allow auction owner to delete member comments in his auctions. It should at least apply to certain auctions like domain sellings where experienced members are warning about fake domain PR's of fradulant sellers. Even if you allow them to delete the comment, at least people should see owner deleted XX comments in that auction. 1154 17 781 General general We’ve been discussing this at length here. Right now, comments as an anti-fraud measure always lead us to a no-win situation. If we take the side of the commenters, we see abuse of the commenting system. If we take the side of the sellers, we see abuse of the comment deletion system. Our approach in the short term will be to enhance the Marketplace with additional anti-fraud features that enable buyers to better gauge the legitimacy of listings (e.g. domain name ownership validation, site traffic verification, etc.). As we do this, we will continually re-evaluate our policies on comment moderation. If it becomes practical and sensible to remove the 'delete comment' feature for sellers, we will. Keep those votes and comments coming so we know your opinions on the subject! We’ve been discussing this at length here.

SP charges sellers for putting up their auctions but with no surety of being paid by bidders. Like in e-bay, if a bidder doesn’t pays, e-bay don’t charge its fees for that particular auction as seller is at no fault on that occasion. I also ask other fellow sellers to put their valuable suggestions to counter this increasing problem. 86 4 781 General general 9559 site.developer site.developer site.developer 2008-05-28T05:06:21Z 2008-05-28T13:11:53Z general 2008-05-29T23:24:06Z 2009-05-02T21:29:41Z
