No different than eBay... unfortunately.
Do you love the new AG Restrictions on communicating with all sellers al the time?
All the countless psy. studies indisputably affirm emotional intelligence is completely required to persuade/sell/negotiate. Is that helping or hurting with now having to give your cc every single time you communicate with a seller for any reason? Does it increase friendliness & civility or go the opposite direction? Does it kill the impulse buy or have negligible effect? Is it in any meaningful way part of the ugliness of the world or perhaps a part of the solution/antidote?
Does it also appreciably send people to US Audiomart which is completely free of any of this on top of being actually...100% free?
AG’s feelings toward members must be ascertained by the explanations made concerning this or effort to prepare them in advance (Zero)? What do you suppose they might be? I’ll defer to veteran AGers to give their informed, considered opinion on al this. Is this the feature they appear to be implying it is & no kind of bug whatsoever?
