Another BST section for a paid seller?

[rainier2004]

Interesting idea and I see a couple ways this could go.

I'm assuming Leon would hand choose all sellers, as its his site, but would there be a set list of standards to be able to sell on the site they would have to meet? Is there a feedback system associated with this? Who handles complaints and problems with transactions?

Auctions...news...promotions, etc under it's own BST section. Doesn't really sound like a BST at that point.

Well, you are correct. That is why it is under our member's free Live Auction section in the BST hierarchy. The current Live Auction section isn't technically a BST area either.

The seller(s) in the proposed section are not unlike any place else on this board. While I don't think I want any rules per se', I feel whomever the seller is will need to behave in an ethical manner. Haven't we always tried to police it that way on our BST? If I get a complaint I am sure it can be handled. If I get more complaints or headaches, then there won't be a section like that any more. It can go up and come down without going to Congress (*not mean to be a political statement). I spoke with Sean a few times already and he (hey Sean) knows that the plug can be pulled at any time, if we decide to go forward with a trial.

And Andy, I just saw your questions. They are good questions. Let's see how that plays out.....we don't want it to be worse than it is now

and one other thing too, the discussions have mainly revolved around selling in that space.....the other things are possible but less discussed so far...

Will this additional revenue for Leon help to lower our membership costs here?
