| Protection of our buyers is paramount.
I yield my opinion, my vote, and ANY stance I may have to Admin.
My suggestion is;
"A small fee to become a seller. This fee can be returned in a set time period
to the seller, or applied towards future fees"
"Probation period for NEW SELLERS with less then 10 selling feedback"
I suggest a ONE TIME FEE to standing sellers to put some money into a SEPERATE
ACCOUNT to help Admin pay for this service! He can buy some help and use that
fee to make bricklink a safer buying "LEGO HAVEN".
Take this idea and make it grow. DO NOT bash it. Improve upon it. But stop
talking about it and do something.
Have a nice night.

Some kind of collateral, so that new people don't just sign up to potentially
commit fraudulent acts.
I wouldn't mind this myself. The seller can get that collateral back after such
and such time or condition is met.

If a one time fee is implemented, it must be done for EVERY currently existing
seller. Forcing this on only new sellers is biased and unfair. As a community
it would probably be a very good idea to welcome new sellers, not penalize them
just for being new.
I reject any additional fees for sellers because we are already paying a small
fee for all incoming orders. If Admin wasn't getting enough money then he should
ask for more.
I know what you are trying to do, it's not necessarily a bad idea, but it all
boils down to this: people who intentionally break the rules will do so, regardless
of how many rules or administrators there are.

the fees arent designed to be kept, they can be given back once the seller has
met the appropriate condition for doing so. if the seller does not meet the condition
or falls thru in some other way, then that fee may be kept by the administrator.
something like this isnt meant to be a complete solution, it will merely act
as a deterrent for those that join here for the wrong reasons.
if i join and my intention is to sell appropriately, then i would have no problem
paying a start-up/ collateral fee, because i would know that if i follow the
rules, i can get that fee back some time later.

This has been discuss before. As a buyer I am against it. For a lot of reasons
that have been mention many times over and over in the past. Even when Bricklink
was Brickbay.

I vote Yes. I think it is a fine idea. The deposit would not have to be big
and burdensome. It could even be refunded if the seller never sells anything.
If he chooses to close his store before any sales then the deposit could be refunded
thru PayPal.
I think it could even help give the privilege of being able to sell on this site
a value, something worth the deposit.
To make it where the deposit is not a burden, the size of the deposit could also
relate to the maximum sale total of each order during that period. As an example,
if someone could only afford a small deposit of $10.00 then a cap of $25.00 total
(or something like that) for each order could temporarily be put in place. If
the person is willing to put a larger deposit down of, lets say, $50.00 then
the cap could be higher.
I have been selling on here for a little short of 3 months and have had a great
experience so far. I would not have minded putting down a deposit even as high
as a $100.00. In fact, I was quite surprised just how easy it was to be to
go from a being a buyer to also being a seller - with almost no restrictions.
As far as having to be retroactive, I don't think that would be necessary for
those who have proven themselves to already be trustworthy.
Just a thought.

| sounds too Paypal-ish.
What amount would possibly deter scammers? Seems like they would be happy to
pay it to seem more trustworthy
