In the past, you've allowed the 3rd party seller to make statements to manipulate the auction price while keeping their identity hidden. Is that something you'll be allowing on this auction as well?
Is there a publicly verifiable method of confirming the reserve price after the auction has completed?
I cannot control what people post unless I have a self-moderated thread... which I will not do at this time.
I can post a screenshot of the PM that was sent to me before the auction started with the stated reserve price.
In the future, I can ask for signed message, etc with this information to help with the transparency.
Thanks
You're welcome.
While you cannot control what people post, you could point out when someone using you service is attempting to manipulate the auction.
I would suggest proving the reserve price by using a signed message and posting the signature publicly, then going back and posting the message so it can be verified when the auction has completed. Posting screenshots can be manipulated so many ways, or the seller could have sent you multiple messages to be screenshots. Might as well use Bitcoin to prove things like this to remove any possible doubt.
I'm curious why you find the status of the reserve to be relevant at all. What difference does it make if the reserve is known or secret? The worst that can happen is a reserve is not met and the items are not sold. Who is losing money here?
