So is the reserve 1b or is that the buyout?
I've never brokered a payment that wasn't mutually beneficial for both parties involved (Meaning they both agreed to use my services- and my services are free). I understand where you might see the buyer as the beneficiary in the situation, but that is actually backwards. As a seller/broker, I will not allow a brokered sale with someone that I have no context of. As the owner of the item, you have the upper hand - therefore you control the sale. That's how you can make rules as to the purchase of items, etc... Same thing goes with Auctions across the board - even stratics boards...as for the trust issue mentioned, brokers can be used but are normally there to protect the buyer. as the seller the trustworthiness is pretty much all on you since the buyer will be paying before the item is handed over. if the buyer requests a broker then one that is trusted by both the buyer and seller needs to be used.
