Well, and what happen if you break the rule and sell something from your thread? For example when you make something cool and someone will ask you, if you selling it. It will something happen, if you sell it without PM or this breaks the rule and you will be punished? Because I think that will end here (like many For Sale thread in general Custom section).

Because it's too hard to reply to the initial inquiry with a link to your commerce thread?

I have no problem paying a fess if its needed but higher pm space would be appreciated.
I know people have asked about the For Sale threads but what about the Interest sections?

Sums it up perfectly for me I'm all for paying a nominal fee if it improves the buying/selling experience on the board as a whole
Just thinking out loud, I'm essentially in favour of this if it speeds up and organises customisers and we aren't hit too hard... but I wonder where this will put the forum (and the admin) in the case of a C and D's being sent to artists - as they are providing a service now at a price that allows the sale. Is this similar to legal issues faced by torrent / peer to peer providers.

Im sure this site takes money to run, and more importantly...time. The fees are ok as long as they're not raping anyone (which I don't think they will). But, like it was asked earlier...what about the guys that are like Stiff Richards, who are a representative for someone who actually does the work, and everything goes through them? This has the makings of a really bad deal if this alone can't be controlled. If those customizers are required to handle their own business themselves, then that's gonna drive some customizers away up front. Thoughts?

This is going to be unmanageable. It would make much more sense to just charge all members Who want access to any for sale threads a small membership fee.

I have a few more questions, and I hope they make sense...
A membership fee for ALL sellers AND people who want to access the commerce area to make purchases?
Now what about the people here now who have interest threads with deposits and pending shipments?
Or, people who are on interest lists for items?
How is this going to affect these type of purchases?
I'd personally hate to have to pay an additional fee to a sculptor for my item I've been waiting forever for because he now is passing the fee on to me the customer?
I don't mind helping out the board by paying a membership however I don't want to get reamed by fees because the seller/sculptor/artist/customizer doesn't want to pay them just like the whole "no paypal gift" policy but people still sell that way.

Dave, you should sticky the thread so we get to hear from people who've missed this.
Why fix something that isn't broken?
I can see a lot of fellow board a leaving going else where paying for a membership.
So if you want to create interest on something would you have to pay ?

Have you ever been in the custom section? It's been a cluster**** for years.
I've always found it pretty easy aha.

Once again, as I understand it, the membership fee is only for people buying and selling.

Guy with 0 post and 0 feedback shows a sculpt.
Sheeple fawn over it.
Guy says he can cast it for $100, bypassing commerce rules.
Several Sheeple send the nobody monies.
Guy doesn't log on for 7 months.
Sheeple all mad bro at losing monies.
Guy is all 'ha ha I'm using the internet.'

Agreed... I welcome the separation and a nominal fee to sell might help dissuade some of the scammers. I believe the waiting period and post count will still apply, but with the fee being added.
I believe it is only for selling... everyone will still have access to buy, but only those who have the premium membership will be able to sell.
And like Karamazov already said, unless something changed the proposed fee was nominal, I didn't bat an eyelash when it was suggested. But I'll leave that to Dave to discuss as it's his decision.

Great Move! It's about time Dave get his cut. No issues with a premium membership fee here.

If it requires me to pay a nominal fee only to buy/sell here, I have zero qualms about it. I hope Dave comes up with a FAQ soon; peeps are already tight in their jeggings!
I believe such a practice has been around a long time. Whenever a new announcement is posted, the respective thread is also updated with it's affiliate product link.
