I just wanted to say something about how the marketplace can be improved.
The thing is now the whole marketplace is flawed, the only thing that matters is getting as many people to see your service thread as you can, to do that you need your thread to stay on top for as long time as you can, so sellers use various tactics to achieve that, it's not about the quality of the service but about doing just that, you can't stand a chance offering a really high quality service on PBNs that cost hundreds of dollars and are not scraped crap, because you won't make any profit if you don't have enough views on your thread. And the biggest flaw - it doesn't have a review system, that's one of the reasons why I've discontinued my link selling services on this platform, it's just not worth it.
Option A - Have sales threads ranked by review ratings and review counts so both buyers and sellers can get good value.
Option B - Have sales threads as they are now, threads staying on top that have most 'bumps', buyers having no way of knowing which services are the best, sellers competing only on price, thus people buying crap in most cases.
I know that the owners need to make the most money they can with this forum, but I think it would be possible to change the system to something like fiverr does, and have the same profits or even increase them considerably.
Cheers
