When I was asked to pay my traders I did so for 2 reasons:

1: I am known on all sites as 'Martin-Reyland' I didn't want to loose this so I paid up!

2: I get more pm space as a trader so that worked for me!

Everyone knows what I sell so paying traders would not have gained any more sales if I was prepared to do some covert advertising.

Now... I could have not paid and underhandedly traded like others but true to form I paid up just like I do in all walks of life i.e. insurance, public liability, VAT, tax etc etc the list goes on.

This is not war and peace or a case of life's too short, all I want is a valid reason why certain surnames can be added to users names and not others!! They all can be related to their trade! Hell I'm not even one of the folks in question, I do hate it when odds are stacked against some and not others though.

Maybe if you can't/won't give an answer then Stu could?
