Xevious Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Good luck to those involved. Hope it's a winner. Anything which promotes the buying and selling of classic videogames is always welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean any email address that appears valid, or any email address that can be verified? How does eBay's policy differ? I could only register at eBay Germany by using my former company's account. Yahoo.de and Web.de didn't work, because those addresses couldn't be verified (who is the person behind those addresses?). IMO allowing any email address may attrack fraudsters. BTW: Web.de addresses are being verified, you have to go to the post office and show your passport before your account gets activated. Yahoo.de addresses are still NOT verified.

RCmodeler Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Brand-new = no visitors = poor sales. I might try it once just to see what happens. I need to get rid of this BMX XXX game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend just signed up and emailed me and said the site is now requiring credit card (not optional) to complete registering, so they must've activated the credit card processing, the site is doing SSL during sign-up and the cert is valid, so if they are requiring a cc, then that's gonna weed a fraudulent signups.

Mr.FoodMonster Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Sure, I'll sign up! ::looks in wallet:: OK, maybe I wont, but once the Credit Card comes through for Santos el Halper, i'll be set! Boo for CC requirement =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
