Who should be able to sell stuff? Options

[SlickRick]

I have seen on a few motorcycle forums that i am on, that people can't just sign up to sell something. I was just wondering what other thoughts were on it? Other forums require u to be a member for so long or have a certain amount of posts. I am not saying anything is wrong with the way we have been doing it, but it may save someone from coming on just to sell some worthless junk then leaving.

I dont see the problem with someone coming on the site just to sell some "worthless junk" and then leaving. It's obviously not worthless if someone is willing to purchase it. If that person get's ripped off, then it's just the risk that they took. Buyer/Seller reputations along with the date the seller joined are clearly posted by each member's name. It is the buyer's choice weither or not they wish to buy from that person. I've gotten ripped off before too, CelicaGT04 sold me an AFM he told me was for a 3sgte but it wasn't, and then he said he would refund me some money, which he never did because he kept saying he was low on money. So it doesn't matter if you are a member for a little or a lot or even still continue to post. You can still rip people off and 6gc.net will not hold any responsibility for transactions gone sour. Here is an example as to how the buyer/seller system is flawed. I bought an item being told it was a certain item and was sent a completely different item worth half as much as I paid. I had already left CelicaGT04 positive feedback, and by the time I realized that it was the wrong part, I can not remove my positive feedback. It's there forever, and there's no way to get it removed.
