Now they take down all my auctions again, and this is what they tell me.

We've recently deleted one or more of your cryptocurrency listings because we do not allow off-chain transactions. Sending cryptocurrency to a Coinbase wallet is not considered an on-chain transaction. Apologies for the inconvenience

They removed 20 auctions, I dont know whats going on with them, but they are sure going to get members upset. I dont even mention Coinbase e-mail address. I ask for the the winner to send Coinbase wallet information, and still they take down my auctions. Out of options, any advise.

Wow, 20 listings they removed? Jeeze. How are you supposed to know they
don't allow this Coinbase wallet? My advice is to follow natahoa's advice
as follows:

NO research needed. I trust the folks on here who say it's not good. It clearly has a bad reputation.

I tried Mercari, a selling app, not good either .. they need your credit card number. They said they would give me $5 to list my first listing. I did that but that $5 is only good if you buy something. As a seller I'd have to give them a credit card number to pay for shipping. I only use a site if it takes paypal. So I closed that listing and deleted the app.

TraderKat is being used by some LIstia members ... I haven't joined it. So I can't comment.
I hope they take paypal ... and that people are not giving them credit-card or bank access ... that's all I can say.

I think ANY auction web site will have trouble mounting and paying for the defenses it needs for people to trade safely. I'm listing stuff on Etsy, and if that doesn't work I'll probably break down and use eBay. There is a REASON no one has ever successfully competed with ebay ... it's still the ONLY game in town/world that uses the extreme technology needed to track and keep secure all the activity.

Listia COULD do that. I thought Ink would incentivize them to step up with more technical improvements, but the fact is that if Ink ever DOES go up in value you're gonna have SO many scams on there that the past scam volume on Listia is going to look like a dripping faucet ... the new ones will be a DELUGE. And they will be MUCH more clever and harder to spot.

I'm holding Ink in the hopes it will go up in value, but I'm done trading with anything other than good ol' USD.

Rules change without notice.
ink values change without notice.
Are other sellers still on listia with "coin base only" listings?
have you submitted a support ticket?

why on EARTH does anyone put up with this abuse?

i suppose you could require the buyer to provide their coin base wallet address. Stupid as that would be. Costs you to send but it is a small amount. As with any other shipping cost you have to build it into your pricing.
Maybe you can ask winners to correspond via email instead of posting on Listia messages.

I am SO over Listia.
And it makes my blood boil to hear about stuff like this. It's endless.

I own ink. I moved it out of Listia. I am waiting for ink value to go up. Which clearly could be a while.
That is my only remaining scrap of interest in Listia.
