Seems to be a ongoing concern for many forum members about dump and run sellers and they should have to log in within a given time spell.

how i would emplement this.

agree /decide a max length of time before a seller with active listings needs to log in

for my example say one month

use the holiday setting to make items unavailable to buy/bid after the 1 month time frame

under the hoilday notice [words to this effect] seller /items unavailable please contact the seller via ask the seller a question.

the listings of the seller are not deleted/lost the buyer is promted to ask the seller if/when the items are available, the seller is informed theres interest in a item, they log in, to release the items for sale they would just have to unlock /amend the holiday notice function, so no complicated/waiting to contact ebid.


the net result of this example would be no loss of listings to the site, buyers would not be able to purchase any item pay and not recive the goods, buyer would be encouraged to contact seller seller would not have items deleted or moved, .

if you were going to implement something like this it would need to be annouced via the correct forum and in the news letter .
