As a buyer would you feel better buying and trading with a "verified member?"

This is similar to what I said you said it better though in post #84

I said it first in post #55

So it’s voluntary to get. If you don’t get doesn’t that make a seller look shady because their not verified? Just seems wrong.

I won't look at an unverified seller and automatically assume scammer just as I wouldn't look at a brand new ebay seller and assume it's a scammer. You have to start somewhere.

I think the best way to verify a seller is based on their feedback from real buyers. Instead of paying a small fee any seller can pay to get verify and transaction can still goes south if they decide to ditch out.

No thanks, you go right ahead tho.

They aren’t considering it and that’s not something going to be done.

Why is his profile picture a verified check mark ?

They don’t own the check mark.

They don’t own the check mark.

So you’re trying to signify you are a verified seller without actually being a verified seller?

That’s an instant red flag for me, sir.

And they own the forum, so they can choose what happens to people who tries to be a “phony.”

This doesn’t sit right with me. I could be wrong though. Maybe I’m just overreacting.

I’m not a seller.

I'm pretty sure it's just a joke. That's how I took it anyway. I thought it was pretty witty in light of the current conversation. We won't end up using the check mark anyway.

Definitely a joke.

Paying for verification does not make me feel better about buying from someone. We already use paypal and other protected payment options. Introducing a more or less pay to win process will make me question the seller more than not having one. Buyer feedback is more important than a verification that just says you are real vs a quality seller.

Thats the point, it's all it took to think you had the 'check mark' which why most are coming out as going what the heck, it wont work.

Your thinking too hard over this. Srsly.

Whether it is or not, that's a hard line to cross... You come off as OK with that when MANY of say no thanks.

Then why are you still bringing it up?

No I said I didn’t agree with it I never said I liked the idea of it and especially not on a platform like this. My statement was simply that it wasn’t illegal for a platform to ask for ID.
