It's because I have been seriously considering turning MPB private for moths now and I think I have finally reached the point where I'm going to be making my final decision. Why would I want to turn the site "private" ? To be honest, during the past 2 years since I bought the site I really haven't had very many sellers come over. I understand that many sellers feel the site wasn't ready for them to come over, but now that I've been running my 99 cents no reserve auctions successfully for 60 weeks, I really don't think that the issues preventing sellers from signing up exist anymore. None the less, if sellers don't want to migrate to MPB, there isn't any reason for MPB to continue to make seller status available. Does fleaBay have more buyers.. well yes it does.. But who says you have to leave them behind? You can indeed list at both sites & I doubt you will find a detriment to it. Also, I'm not exactly cutting off all seller registrations. I'm going to be dividing MPB into two sections 1) 99 cent no reserve auctions (my auctions) 2) MPB Stores (all other sellers except for during special event auctions) Future sellers will only be those that are invited and those that have supported MPB in the past. By limiting the sellers in this way, I can be sure that only 100% honest sellers have material listed and of course that reduces problematic issues that both collectors and administration have to deal with At Cinevent I will be having extensive design & architecture discussions with my programmer as we continue to redesign the site, and we will announce these improvements afterward, but for now you just have to answer one question..... Do you or do you not want to be selling Movie Posters at the only site devoted strictly to Cinemaphiles? Please note: I will be vetting any member who wishes to get seller status and also I have begun deleting seller status for members who haven't signed on for a long time.. I will continue that process during this transition period. So consider this a final invitation. Sign up now... or forever hold your fleaBay Rich========================= Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
