Thread Title: "Bidder Screening"
(no avatar) Bidder screening should be made free, I'm tired of losing money on scammers and deadbeats. Bob, Manny, you got to help us big sellers out here one of the reasons we use AA is to move stuff..margins are tight and every time we get burned for $2.95 or more on special services our bottom line suffers...maybe work bidder screening so that its free if you select special services, or peg it to a sellers volume...on bidder screening you should make it like a "preappoved" type deal.

(no avatar) Our deadbeat percentage is only about 2-3%.I wish it was zero but such is life.So far I haven't screened anybody from bidding.Usually AA zaps the fly by nighters.I get at least 5-6% of my auctions purchased by 0-0-0 newbies and a lot of them become repeat bidders so I won't screen them.We're getting ready to celebrate our 3rd year here.Our first year we sold only about a hundred guns.The last two years we've averaged about 850 per year so our expectations are greatly exceded.All in all we're happy with our auctions here.GB goodbye.Bravo AA!

(no avatar) Elitist you are the only bottom feeder I know of. Id sell something to Sarah brady before I did biz with you. Sportsman we don't want to scree OUT bidders (newbies)...we just want to know who they are in terms of being an ACTUAL buyer vis a vbis a fraud or a scammer....my proposal would knock off your 2-3%. Willie TA I am not crying, trying to m ake this place better for sellers here. BigFish the issue is not the percentages but screening them out

(no avatar) WWG, if you get a dead beat bidder,i assume it,s a fire arm, first you are not going to send it with out a FFL, second you will not send it with out recieving payment. just contact AA, they will take care of the fee,s.(so you loose nothing, but a little time) leave neg. feedback, and go to a second chance option or relist the item. i don,t think it would take any more time to do that, than it did for you to type your 12th. post. i think you just got caught up in this dead beat thing, and i think it,s to bad, as all it does is raise alot of good people,s blood pressure. including yous. thanks eastbank.

(no avatar) Eastbank, they do give fees back the problem is special services...Bold Listing, Thumbnail, Highlight, Feature adds $6 per lisitng....that can add up...and you dont get them back.....and its not the actual money its the principle of the thing. Now NYNN you and Cryo need to take your circle jerk somewhere else, why dont you just stay off of my thread and let the normal ones thrash this out....

Elitist Let's see:

Bidder screening should be made free, I'm tired of losing money

the problem is special services...Bold Listing, Thumbnail, Highlight, Feature adds $6 per lisitng....that can add up...and you dont get them back.....and its not the actual money its the principle of the thing.

OK, first it was the money; then it wasn't the money but the principle, which I assume is that you should get something for nothing. Which is it?

As for selling to Sara Brady, believe me, you are FAR more likely to sell one to her than to me. Your posts are evidence that you have some very serious issues with anger management and speaking clinically,I believe you have at least one major personality disorder, maybe more. Get some professional help, man, you really need it.
