Don't allow everyone to bid!

Hello!

As you can see, this member was bidding HIGH bids on most servers, which is quite annoying honestly, I won't say he's the only one, many new members are bidding, then cancelling their bids. There should be a limit to who can bid, such as a rep or reaction or even message count

Thank you for your time!

Its upto the seller, if they choose to accept someone's bid or not.

 

[Naser]

Yeah, and they have to be on the site for 3 months+

No no no, that way I can't bid haha, well it's a good idea. But you can send PM's to the owner of the item, and he can accept your offer, but not posted on public.

 

[Naser]

Wait, so we somehow have to cater to your needs but ignore the rest? It's a great restriction, so it makes them patient enough, and then they can bid. If they're so impatient they can just BIN on skype, and go first.

Yeah, nice idea too![DOUBLEPOST=1485980872][/DOUBLEPOST]Not skype though, I'd suggest using PM's for anything involved with MCM.

Why would we wish to restrict who can bid? That would potentially hurt people's sales.
If you believe someone isn't trustworthy with their bid, you can choose not to accept it. Period.

If some new member that joined 3 days ago starts bidding hundreds or even thousands, anyone with 2 braincells to rub together can imagine to be suspicious.

To add to this, just report the suspicious activity of the user on either his profile or the post specifically, problem solved

Thanks for all the suggestions, yeah, I am wrong, might've been furious since some members were outbidding me then taking back their bids.

if the seller has any sense, he'll revert back to the last bid before a bid that gets retracted.

If one user in particular keeps doing this, report it via a support ticket. Since if its done repeatedly, then its offering to buy something, that you don't intend to pay for (Rule 5.3)
