A new Reef2Reef Marketplace... What would you like to see?

[Daniel@R2R]

I hear that there's a new marketplace in the works, and this is going to be a great new way to buy and sell (and trade) reef equipment! What are some things you hope will be incorporated into it?

I think a buyer/seller rating system would be cool.

Free Shipping?

I trust you guys will provide us something awesome and useful. Can't wait.

A way to search for specific parts or things. As an example the livestock area is full of acros and torches. A simple way to filter for a specific type of coral would be cool. Additionally it'd be nice to be able to search for fish similarly (even though there are fewer listings for those)

For dry goods, same thing. Easier way to slice and dice the data. Easier way to see / filter sold items. An auction system. Reseller ratings. Maybe a buy-it-now feature.

A Canada niche, if possible with note of the province. Eh.

 

[Philly Reefer]

Listing and filtering would be nice.
This would be a controversial one.. auction style bid?

I would like to see a feedback rating system. I would also like to be able to be notified when a new item that I have set up a search for is available. Right now I understand that a saved search is not available.

I think an upvote/downvote or feedback system of some kind as mentioned above would be great for the marketplace. Now we have to search separately for feedback threads. Let me have that info on the sale page of the item I'm interested in!

Would be cool to search for a specific product and see all active listings with that item listed in the Sellers items.

@revhtree can we get a separate tab or filter for fish only? I was just scrolling through Cali listings and it’s like 40corals to one fish. Eventually I’ll buy corals too but now would just like to see fish

Something that prevents these people from not disclosing proper information. Like refurbished or repaired.

 

[fade2black]

Feedback rating of members that's easily accessible. Like a star rating under their name and the number of feedback's they have received. I think that is more useful than the current reaction score. I would rather see a buyer/seller score.

 

[Sleeping Giant]

Ability to search by location, it's impossible to find anything sold in Canada on the marketplace

 

[Specific Ocean]

Feedback

Filtering from fish/coral, state and shipping

 

[Cunning_plan]

+1 for location. As a Brit it would be great to be able to use it. Either as a filter or sub boards.

Also, I think a seller verification would be useful. You see it on offerup, mercari, etc.

Makes me as a buyer a little more at ease.
Doesn’t have to mandatory but it sure helps

After recently buying an apex from somebody on here to get dry probes. This should be a thing.
