I personally have only purchased through this site once but it was a positive experience.

I like the idea.  At my LGS they price the cards on the sleeve but double check prices before the transaction.  It is disappointing when a card I like has spiked but then both parties are educated and can come to an agreement.  I see this as a positive improvement.  I have had many positive trading experiences on this site and adding a bit more of the trading back and forth to the purchase process would be a positive for me.   

I have been hesitant to purchase cards primarily because most sellers have notes about the right to cancel etc. and so I don't know what the price really is.   This gives the seller a chance to verify condition and edition and both parties to come to an agreement. 

Thanks for all the hard work you are putting into this site!

So you consider the community a useful tool for you but you would not even consider supporting it by becoming a premium member, thus you wish that the idea be scrapped smile

I've chosen not to become a premium member because I don't feel the need to utilize the premium features, not because I don't support the site or feel it isn't a useful tool. I do my part in other ways, like getting my friends to sign up and start trading here. And I suggested scrapping the idea entirely only if you were opposed to the notion of changing the criteria of the "level scale." What, am I not allowed to give input just because I don't put money towards the site?

I think you are a bit out of line Sebi,  I am a budget player and most of us are just here for good fun.  My friends and family all know to buy me magic cards as gifts when the occasion calls for it.  Then I need to trade down to finish the decks I am building.  I am unable to fit a monthly fee into my budget but have recommended this site to other traders who purchase through deckbox and others who have become premium members.  Plus they can sell the add space for when I am logged on. So just because I am not putting physical dollars into deckbox does not mean I am not helping to support this site.

If you choose to put a higher value on the opinions of those who pay for Premium that is your business but maybe should not be targeting that in a public post.

I think this is a good concept overall. 

I am not a fan of restricting the level 4 traders from trading with a level 1.  If anything a level 4 is more experienced on how to deal with a new trader and to make them ship first etc.  I just don't see how a new trader potentially scamming a level 4 trader is a more serious offence than scamming a level 2 trader. 

I like the level scale for restricting dollar values.  As scammers are less likely to target deckbox in the first place with rules like that.  Then if they do try to scam other traders they scam 1 trader for $40 not 10 traders for $400.  To me it adds a level of protection. 

I don't think a system can be created that will prevent all issues, but this will clean up some issues in my opinion.  Thankfully, so far I have not had any unresolved issues with my trades.

I love the new enhancements.  I spend a lot of time trying to perfect my decks so the more info the better.  The new graphs and charts are great!
