If you get verified more, you would get higher bids. You can get verified using Twitter, and by your home or cell phone too. I would bid, but I've been burnt on auction lister's who were not better verified. I think these gloves are really cute too.
I don't blame you. I won two auctions a week ago and neither person ever bothered to respond to my messages. x.x Pretty annoying so I try to only bid on auctions that have trusted sellers... I don't use twitter, but I might add my number. Hopefully after a few of my auctions I'll get some good reviews. ^^ Thank you :)
