Product reviews + purchase button for threads

[nosystem32]

I think MCM should implement their own purchase button for threads, much like the way Resources work. It saves you having to set it up using sellfy, selly and other 3rd party services, and instead they could create a system where it would work like this:

Thread has a buy button
Buy button redirects to a new page on MCM, where you then send the money to a bot, which would be a MCM-bot.
After that, it will ask you for the email address you want it to be sent to, & the price. You type those in, and press submit. Purchase done.

The reason I believe this would be a good idea is because it can enable things such as product reviews, so once you have made a purchase using the MCM purchase feature, you are able to leave a review, star rating, etc. The reviews would only be to that individual thread. It would work the same as Amazon reviews, eBay reviews, something like that.

Or you can just use the already existing resource section.

All nonexclusive product is already offerable in resources.
The only products we don't have this for are things like Minecraft accounts or domains because they are exclusive, they can only go to one person.
So the thread idea would only be useful for immediately purchasing an exclusive product.
However, it's just one product.
Whereas setting up a resource will ensure immediate transaction of product countless sales over. This would only be useful for one sale per set up. Then once the sale is made, it's dead for that thread. At that point you might as well make the transaction manually.
We'd also have to worry about the possibility of two people buying it at the same time.

This suggestion seems more like a different angle on trying to get MC-Market to middleman deals.
Which is an interesting idea for preventing scams, but I think if we're ever going to go that way, it won't be through something like this.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
