Way to derail the thread!!! Great, now we'll never get back on topic. :ROFL:
 
Put it this way, vendors pay to put their stuff on the site. A LOT of plant/fish/invertebrate vendors are there. That would piss a lot of vendors off, if they keep getting cut out because someone sells shrimp babies, from shrimp that they bought off of a vendor, for a quarter less per shrimp. Cutting out the vendor, and not paying fees, you are making money doing this, and only selling at .25 less?

I don't think it's going to be that anyone will have to pay a fee, but someone selling in 'bulk', will have to. See what I am saying? Basically, if you have a one time bulk sale, you pay a small fee to be a one time vendor.

There's always going to be at least one jerk who abuses the system and ruin things for everyone else.

I know there is several members who sell and as for as I am concerned are running a business in our B & S. There should be some kind of restrictions setup that when someone moves so much in volume of sales, they should then be asked to become a vendor or stop the volume of sales.
I agree it is not fair to the vendors who pay, but it isn't fair to make all sales payable because of a few peeps exploiting the system.
 
Selling your items or fishes once in a while cause you need to upgrade or something is fine. Problem is sellers that always has more than one ads/items up all the time and making profit but are being cheap by not wanting to pay vendor fee.
