    Its already open to users worldwide, Try the site out and have a look at the options.

    Is it the .co.uk redirect thats making you think otherwise or is it something else?

    I do like the site.

    Just wondering though why you pimp it on ebay though? (and then criticise people when they bid on a non-auction!). Surely this is going to attract the wrong sorts of people, aside from being a little shady (imo) for a site that is trying to pride itself on its upfront, open, helpful service/attitude?

    Im just using that ebay auction for Darxide as a one off, I knew it would create some decent interest and in the early stages of the site getting people to know its there and functioning really is half the battle.

    We have plenty of measures for dealing with unsavoury and the wrong sort of characters and have already dismissed 3 different Nigerian scammers within 15 minutes of their registration so we are very pleased with the sites setup currently and are more than willing to deal out the bad traders to create a fair and trouble free marketplace to benefit the buyers and sellers.

    The situation with the people bidding on ebay was a funny one, All they had to do was read the auction description after all.

    I can understand your point of view though Adrian and can only ask that people give us a chance to prove ourself on what we are offering.

    Thanks for taking the time to air your views though, Its really important that we get as much feedback as possible to constantly evolve and correct whats wrong with the already established sites.

    Already banned him a while ago mate, They work fast. Sign up and then contact people within 10 minutes of being on whatever auction site takes their fancy.

    As a general rule its a good idea for people to give a blanket ban on sending any items to Nigeria and probably a topic worthy of conversation later on in the vga forum tonight.

    Well, if there are any legitimate Nigerians on the net they're going to have a really hard fucking time doing anything.
