(Suggestion) A more advanced marketplace system.

[EAF]

Ok, so normal trading is,
Make thread with info> Add on msn/skype/aim ect.> Make trade> Vouch> /thread.

I think it could be better, I know this is just MyBB, but I didn't know if he could implement another subdomain, which is the marketplace itself.

Here is a format I came up with
() = Checkable circle.
[ ] = Textbox.
--------------------------------------
[Username]
[What are you selling?]
[How much are you selling for?]
[Method of payment.]
() Auction? *If clicked it opens up these options*
[Starting bid.]
[Amount for autowin.]
[MiddleMan]
[Contact info]


And when someone places an offer they consider selling or buying for, there could be a button that sends a message to the chosen Middleman, and when the deal is done, it makes both members vouch, and closes the thread/deal.


Just a basic idea of what I think could help with scammers.
Also, the format is used for selling, it could be formatted into a buying format as well.

So, It's a bit like eBay?

Kinda, but it would be implemented to interact with the forums?

Just an idea

So, Like MMOE? It seems like a good idea, Just strenuous.

There's a lot of people who want to do quick and smooth deals who may not want this extra work. Like me, I just set a price, set the item, and buy/sell. I don't think it should be more advanced, as you can make your thread as advanced as you want.

People want that, and then 99.99% of those people are scammers, just saying.

Well if you want all that, can't you just do your sales through player auctions?

That would help on my side, but I'm suggesting this for the entire forum, to rid of the marketplace in stature now.

Like he said, people don't want to spend an hour doing a 20m trade.

The idea is O.K.
But that would require tremendous work and I believe that TE plate is filled up on the new upcoming features.

It sounds like a good idea and you posted the suggestion in a clear and understandable format. I respect that.

if you really want a more complex marketplace, you can just make your thread complex, because many buyers don't like wasting 10-15 mins for around 20m gold. A lot of buyers i get are like, can i get gold ASAP. Ik scammers ruin the good name of a good deal, but people like me still exist who are legit and do deals smooth and fast.
