Title: No-one is even replying my offers on the marketplace
Post by: Synthrax on August 30, 2014, 09:29:47 AM
Could someone PLEASE help me? I think it is because of my newbie status because no-one wants to even reply to the offers that I put up on the bitcointalk marketplace. I just put up some keys for sale multiple times, but not even ONE person has replied. Please anyone out there with a member account, could you please help me to sell items?

That one?
Aw man, it's not even an hour since you posted your thread.
Be patient, and i think it is NOT becuase you're a newbie, more likely because there's not much interest on your items. For example, If you're selling Steam codes with 30% discount, no matter what's your account level, i'm sure there'll be many people asking, PMing, replying on you. It is because there is a high interest on steam wallet code.

Good Luck!

Well thanks for the info, but I also posted this yesterday and no one did anything either. Also I've seen people selling the same or close to the keys I have perfectly fine, but they have like member accounts while I have a newbie account. I just need someone to help me list it up.

I don't think anybody can help you list it up unless you rank up and use an escrow for your deals.

So no-one can't even help me list up a new item for me?

This items is not in demand here. Most people will use the free malwarebytes.

Well you should re-write your thread if you ask me. Also of course that there is a difference when a Newbie is selling and when a Legendary Member is selling something here.
You should wait, these things take time and the keys aren't high demand.
It's not like this forum has 500M people in it.

Please do not make duplicate threads for your offers. I removed the duplicates and kept the more recent one(which had a reply too).

There are plenty of sellers already selling these keys so competition is tough. Offering escrow is a must and maybe lowering your prices to compete with the others.

Selling as a Newbie Follow a few simple rules:

1.) Always offer escrow service (this is an unwritten RULE) This will boost offers when the see you are willing to use escrow.

2.) Never fall for the "You send first" (Unless the member has a positive trade history) Step 1 will eliminate this risk.

3.) Offer the best details you can about the products you are selling: Condition,Prices,Location,Shipping info. Accepting multiple forms of payments also open the potential of more offers.

4.) I would advise selling your first few items at an Extremely good price to start getting your reputation seen then you can slowly bring them up to "competitive" costs after selling some items.  Make the sacrifice the reward will payoff.

Just a few things that might help you. Good luck!

P.S. throw that Copy of windows 8 in the garbage!  LOL

Meh, I hated Windows 8 at first, but I think it grows onto you after a while lol. And another question, where can I find a good escrow for my products?

It will take time but you will soon see an interest. Use escrow and try and use competitive prices even if it means beating prices that others charge for the same service.

That doesn't really work that way. You have to do trades to become trusted (to build your reputation). It takes time but it's worth all that effort.

High ranking members like me hardly ever sell anything. Welcome to the club.
