Hush, hush, all of you! There are certain things which MUST NOT BE DISCUSSED......

The OP got the answer to his initial question, which is a flat-out "No." End of story......

So the First Rule of Private Forum is .... don't talk about Private Forum?



:D
 
What Private Forum?


;)

We have access to a private forum? Oh, I can only imagine the shenaniganz that go in that theoritical playground of wonder. "Puts hands under chin and beams with child-like wonder towards such a place, that does not exist*
 
Make your choice, adventurous Stranger;
Strike the bell and bide the danger,
Or wonder, till it drives you mad,
What would have followed if you had.

I would think giving the site your credit card info and donating $25 would give you access to the marketplace no? I mean you're not going to run some scam if you're credit info is on file...

No. Again, it isn't about how much money you are willing to pay, but your dedication and contribution (by helping others through posting) that matters.

And your credit info isn't on the line ... the site uses PayPal.

Even so, the site would have no ability to financially moderate a problem in the marketplace. They're not around to issue refunds to someone who claims to have been scammed.

not talking about issuing refunds. just saying they would at least have some solid info on people so they would be less likely to attempt it, thus opening up the marketplace to a wider variety of possible customers

The site likely has no desire to play cop at all. The interest is not in having a bustling marketplace, but rather one that requires little moderation. That isn't achieved by letting anyone use it that wants to.
