Questions & Comments
If this auction is legit and you really plan on sending the item to the winner, I'd suggest you get your info verified, add more detailed pictures with your user name beside it and answer people's questions the best you can in order to get the maximum amount of credits your item may be worth... :)
i think this is what happens when people get in and have no verifications.this is like the third or fourth time this has been pulled in the past few weeks.and its such a shame because the bank is killer.i keep hoping that listia will step in and require some sort of validation before someone can put things up for auction
To make sure you get the most bids and credits from your listings, please add more information about your item. Additional details will help others bid with confidence. This also reduces the number of questions that your bidders have to ask.
Thanks for your cooperation and I hope you earn a ton of credits!

Seems he just signed up, put up a pic of something to get the free credits-and never came back.
i'm 72 and managed to figure it all out and i'm not tech savy.most of the time i'm yelling for one of my kids to come help.but if you notice Ronnie202 said he fanned him/her on the 31st.he would have had to come onto this page to do that and couldn't help but see all of this..if he could figure out how to join,put up an auction and fan one single person he could figure out how to do a comment.he's so dumb that he doesn't understand that this bank would go through the roof credit wise if the auction were legit.when i first saw the bank i thought oboy 75,000 credits when it's all done,because it's as real as it gets.real shame.
this has happened several times over the past few weeks and even tho well meaning people try to put up warnings there's always a few who are going to go for it anyway.the excuse is,well i can always dispute and get my credits back.but that's not the point.whoever is running listia should make sure no one can put up an auction until some verifications are provided and validated,so we the serious users aren't taken for a ride by these idiots.listia seems to be serious about improving the web site but allowing people to pull stuff like this is not going to help it grow,neither are all these people that charge in and bid anyway.it only encourages them to continue this behavior.
Listia could do something to stop this foolishness by requiring at least 2 Verifications before allowing a listing. My picks would be phone & adress & email! Any comments???
His page says he has been a member since march 27.2014 and last checked on on march 27 and thats been it.i'd love to bid but i don't want to get any of my credits tied up trying to deal with a scam.i have too many other real auctions i want to bid on.we need to be careful here.
how did you get into the site with no verification at all?you need to get verified if you want people to bid.not answering questions guarantees low bids and complaints to listia.
I think come on ti Listia get the free points put something up for bid to see what they would get but they are not really serious - but we as bidders may really like an item bid and then have to dispute because the person flakes. I've had this happen twice to me in recent weeks. Not going to bid in this type of situation again.
Also would love to have this but am not going to take the chance on this.... looks like a scam at worst... or just a really unknowable newbie. Still not worth the trouble as it stands right now. ;-(
