Admin question?? I have noticed there is alot of posts selling there Yorkies on here when they have ony 1 -5 posts. This is just a suggestion since there have been so many scams for Yorkies lately. Why not require a certain number of posts to be recognized better before being allowed to post Yorkies for sale??? Here's a post for an example : http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87660 This for sale post was the persons first post. Not hello and Hi I am new to YT or anything to get recognized. |

Doesn't see right, hmmmmm. I hope admin offers some suggestions to this. |
I'm not a breeder, but I agree that it should be that way. I see people on here with only a few posts (also in the featured breeders section too). At the very least, anyone selling anything here should be a donating member ($25+) and have at least 100 posts and been here a month. That is required for the gift exchange, why should it be any less for someone who sells here? Especially when a major percentage of the threads here have to do with getting a quality yorkie from a quality breeder. This is one area where admin has the ability to have a bit of control over who is selling yorkies out there. fwiw, my $.02, and all that...:) |

I agree. I PM'd admin when they changed the yorkie related stuff for sale posts requiring all to be donating members. If they have to be donating to see little stuff like clothing, etc, then I definitely think they should be donating to be able to sell Yorkies!! That is a much greater investment. JMO. |
I agree too ! :thumbup: :) |
I also think the same rules should be sent for sellers. I don't think it's fair for a seller to join just to advertise their business (even if they do donate). |

I'm not a Donating Member yet, but I agree that before you can sell pups you should have atleast donated some money, and have a minimum number of posts. |
friends I think you should have to have at least 3 members also sponsor you or stand up for you. Like I have made many friends and spend many hours chatting thru email, on the phone, msn, and thru pms you just get to know people. I am sure I could get 3 people that are also 1000+ posters and long time members to stand up for me and say yes, we believe she is a active member here...not just here to sell pups. Is this making sense???? Just a thought! |
I've always liked the minimum post number rule too - in the Yorkies For Sale section that would be tricky to enforce - I think that's about attracting new members and many do come here only to sell and I guess the thinking is one day they'll donate. but for the Stores and products - I always feel so bad for the longtime members who post with us on a regular basis and worked really hard to get a good website/store going only to get taken over by all the new sites popping up. What attracts me to a Seller is how they post on the site as well as what they offer. To me, it's the Sellers that are part of the whole site that make it fun to buy here. There's Ebay for those that only want to sell sell sell and don't become active in any other parts of YT |
tiggerr36792 - I had taken your post to be about 'all' sales and didn't mean to hijack it :) sorry !! |

Your gonna love it and you know it,lol. Just kidding!!! |
You guys are right on the money. I like to purchase from someone that is a proven rather than a newbie that has no time or energy invested in this site. It also gives us time to really feel out the person and see if they are truly a good person, scammer or all about making the money. |
We feel our YT members can be better informed and protected by having the Yorkies for Sale section be open for all. There have been many instances where members have learned through Yorkie For Sale threads what to look for in a breeder, and what not to look for in a breeder. We feel we can service the Yorkie community better by allowing members to seek Yorkies in our community, which can be more educational and informative than a Yorkie classified ad where members can not respond or ask questions. At times, there are also more affordable Yorkies posted, which is what some members are looking for. Sometimes there are Yorkies which need to be rehomed. It is not likely that these members would donate first to post their Yorkie for Sale or Yorkie for Rehoming. We also require a rather lengthy form before For Sale ads are approved, which requires a breeder's name and phone number. While there may be a few isolated incidents of problems, this form helps alleviate potential problems with fraud. We don't expect breeders to donate at all. At this time, we feel the Yorkies for Sale section is fine as it is. Thanks for your feedback. |
