I agree that I would like to take all my selling and buying here over places like eBay and other forums. The thing is I have a red star and am able to sell here but it is not worth it. There is no traffic. We need to open the marketplace to all users.
If they are not willing to open it up to everyone for money issues or whatever there a still plenty of solutions. Shut down all the previously mentioned for sale/trade threads and make people do that in the marketplace. That way if they want to buy or sell they would need to do it in the marketplace (and buy the appropriate membership). Also maybe make a new colored star option that gets you access to the for sale forum for a 1 time $10 fee or something but not the other benefits.
