A common issue I know many have when it comes to creating listings on online platforms is that a trader will pay for a membership, submit their listing for approval, and receive a rejection. This results in a lot of frustration for the trader, who then requests a refund, which results in frustration for those who run the platforms.
We're making efforts to cut back on this scenario from occuring, such as with our service type pre-checks. However, in order to cut back on that frustration even further, we've been looking into creating a pre-approval process. We're still working out the details on this one, but the idea behind it is that you can get a pre-approval for your product or service before purchasing Sapphire, that way there'd be more certainty that your listing would have a final approval.
This would be open to members who are Sapphire Eligible (you'll know when you are as you'll get a trophy for it) and you would have to simply submit a portfolio of the work of your highest level package rather than provide it to us directly.
As I mentioned, we're still working out the details of this one, such as whether or not we'd charge for pre-approvals ($10-$20?) and if the pre-approval means you can skip out on delivering the top-level package to us entirely. As we progress with this, we'll look into creating our own forum suggestions thread to ask for feedback on this before setting it live.
In the meantime, if any of you have any thoughts on this, feel free to mention them here!
