I agree with everyone else who posted here.Why should everyone be punished for the actions of a few.We get some really dumb comments and questions,along with some profanity,why should we have these added to our auctions.I did use AA exclusively for the last five years, but that is about to change,if this does not change. |

As I'm sure you've noticed, we've already made a few changes. After speaking with a few choice sellers, I've made all postings of users of Auction Arms private. Only sellers can see the postings, along with the person asking the question. It was never our intent to provide a place for a disgruntled user to negatively impact the auction, and I think that making that communication private solves this problem. Also, I've given the seller the choice of making a posting public (along with his/her answer) to answer any potential questions that might come up. Let me know what you think... -manny |

| (no avatar) | I'm concerned the "AuctionArms.com Reply Form" will led to (criminal) email spoofing and hijacked accounts since sellers are being asked to click on a link in their email, and then enter their Auction Arms password. |

Thanks AA. I am sure we all understand attempts to prevent off-line trading, but obviously this was not the way to go. Perhaps, monitoring of communications by the internal staff of AA will be sufficient. Thanks for the quick fix. |

| (no avatar) | Manny, you answered the problem for the seller but what about the buyers. Do they have no right to privacy? If a seller finds something in a buyers question that should be added to his auction, he has the method to edit his auction description without publishing what should be private communication. |

Yet another wrinkle.......I agree that the buyer should also have the right to privacy. |

By default, the buyer does have privacy. No other buyer can see that post. -manny |

| (no avatar) | I have 20 more guns to advertise, and have spent this afternoon answering questions the "new" time consuming way. My new ads won't get posted now till I have time, a loss for both of us. I have too much invested in AA to let this lie. Thanks, Ric |
