I hear this "Bedroom Trader" phrase bandied round all the time, I often read through for sales/wants etc, and personally I don't see anyone who is taking the piss? . Who would you say are bedroom traders? At least name names!!

I do think that @£400 the trade fees are too expensive ( but it is not my business really, so thats up to IB) and are off-putting for a lot of traders, but unfortunatly that is there perogative. Personally I would like to see more traders, but the limited market means no-one really is going to pay that amount for potentially small gains. I would have thought it would have made more sense to have 6 traders all paying £200, rarther than 2 traders paying £400, but there you go..

Don't agree with the small fees for adverts either, gold membership allows the sale of parts and cars, always has done and for me was the sole reason to upgrade, so pointless paying more for each ad, I only sell a few bits now and then, so do a lot of other people, and it would remove the convenience of just being able to stick a quick ad up, especially for stuff thats cheap.
