Should Marketplace Threads Be Open to All Users?

[OutreachAccounts]

When only Junior VIPs can access the marketplace, I wonder how many users actually hold Junior VIP status!

I believe the marketplace threads should be accessible to all users, while only Junior VIPs should have the ability to comment or make purchases. If full access isn’t feasible, at least thread titles or mini descriptions should be visible to all members.

This change could benefit both sellers and buyers. Gig owners could attract more potential buyers, as the general member base might include prospects who are genuinely interested in services that current Junior VIPs might not be. Right now, there’s no way to market or sell to this broader audience. It feels like a missed opportunity for everyone involved.

What are your thoughts on this? Wouldn’t this approach create a win-win situation?

What are you talking about?

Anyone can access the Marketplace and see the content and services. You don't need to be a VIP for it.

This would be really stupid. Why Newbie cannot comment product he bought?
Also the marketplace is opened to anyone to comment.
Jr.VIPs can post threads, but anyone can response in the marketplace.

I think you are misunderstanding the current situation. Read the Marketplace rules again.

it can be more beneficial for both sides for sure and hopefully owners have solid reasons to not do it

Marketplace threads are already public, with the exception of the few that exist in the Jr. VIP marketplace.

Anyone can comment in a marketplace thread already, regardless of membership level.
