This is so off topic. Yes that's true, but if they don't keep count of the post, they would have to read the posts made by everyone who wants to join the MP... Oh, I did that at school too.
is there a place here that is legal to post our ebay ids?

yes but the more posts you have it means you're here and contributing in some way to the general community. even if the posts are short like congrats! that's awesome! the general feeling is you're here, reading, and pretty interested in what people have to say.... kwim?
Absolutely, it's those little 'small talk' comments that convey warmth, excitement, interest, surprise etc - we wouldn't want to get by without them in real life, so I'd hate to see people stop these posts!
silly or not, it's the rule!
Seriously though, don't you think Vlad scans people's posts prior to granting access?
The Marketplaza is VERY protected.
If someone has 200 posts that say "love it!" I doubt they'll get in.
photoobsessive, you joined in october like I did, but I have about a quarter of your post count! Clearly I don't talk enough.ush: Thought I post this useless comment to increase my post count. lol
and now i shall do the same...... just kidding.
Im addicted! it both keeps my bank account in better shape, and in worse. I buy FAR less, but the ticket items are much higher!
I totally agree and realized when I read Miss Sooky's post why I so enjoy the threads. So I'm going to make an effort to contribute more.
its not my call whether or not posts should count, but i do understand how the mods would use it to see what kind of contributer you are.
i have plenty of i love it posts, but then again, ive got quite a few informative pieces. just participate, don't make posts your goal, and have too much fun for one forum!

Oh, don't get me wrong. Counting and/or reading the posts someone makes is really the only way to gauge someone is trustworthy or not.
Even if someone sold everything that was authentic on another venue, they have to contribute something to this forum before they can enter the MP.
I just think it's silly to count the NUMBER of posts. But I am sure they judge the content too.

the other reason is because it would afford a false sense of security.
We find a lot of people mention in their eBay listings that they're a member here, meanwhile, they're listing counterfeits
they mention us to legitimize themselves.KWIM?

Do people really do that?? Oh my!!!
I joined in December and missed the 5 month thing in the rules too..lol! Selective reading, I guess..lol...But it was only 100 posts to join then. I pmed and said I would like to get into the MP and gave my Ebay ID. I figured by the time they had a chance to look at me, I would have the 100 posts. Now I see it is 500
but I guess I will have that many by 5 months. Time will tell. I do hope I get in at some point, but I am glad they are making it difficult to keep out those people selling fakes.
It's comforting to know that they are being selective as to who can trade in the marketplace. I hope someday to live up to the expectations necessary to be a treasured member. I'll continue on until then...besides it's fun! Not to mention informative. (And I won't mention costly..oops!)
