  <text>since multiple account making is not new on SP or on any other popular webmaster forum, its just useless giving -ve feedback to anyone as he is free to make a new id anytime he wants and as regarding calling and verifying through telephone number, i feel this will also not work out. for example say i am in UK and some buyer is from say Australia and he is verified by phone by SP mods or admin or whatever. he bids on my auction and doesn&#8217;t pay. what do i have to do with his cell number? do i make repeated ISD calls to him and ask him to pay?
i suggest SP should make initiatives like only those bidders can bid who deposit say like 20% of their bids to SP account which SP will pay to seller in case that particular bidder wins the auction and pays the rest to seller and in case any other bidder wins, he is liable to get back his money from SP. this is the only way to weed out fake bidders or it can be like CC verification wherein SP people should charge his CC in case he don&#8217;t pays the seller.
if some workable measures like these can be workout, SP would be the best place to work with. 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&#8217;t pays, e-bay don&#8217;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.</text>

    <text>One of the primary reasons we don&#8217;t allow adult sites (even hidden from users who don&#8217;t want them) is that SitePoint staff would be required to moderate those auctions. We do not currently have any staff willing to work with adult material on a regular basis.</text>

  <text>hi admin, i would like to suggest that a Non-Paying auction winner for any auction shall not be allowed to leave his feedback (specially negative) for that particular auction for which he has not paid. whereas the seller (auction creator) may leave his feedback regarding that fake non paying buyer/auction winner so that other sellers will be bewared of that fake bidder. The genuine sellers like us will be saved in that case from false -ve feedbacks. 
i would also like to suggest to create another selection box for NON PAYMENT while submitting a feedback for a bidder/buyer.
i would also like to know is, if we sellers can complaint to a mod and remove false -ve feedbacks of any non-paying bidders?</text>
