I must be missing something, why are so many people seemingly willing to ship anywhere in the U.S.?<p>You're giving away a DVD and on top of that you're going to pay for the shipping?

A couple questions...Why would i buy more points when i can re-register and get points for free? And what if i made referrals to myself to accumulate points?

Congrats on the extremely positive writeup. You got the full Arrington!

Listia is extremely fun. Just paging through some of the auctions, you see the goofiest stuff. Ex: PG's dracula cape (I think worth at least 10 credits...). <a href="http://www.listia.com/auction/197" rel="nofollow">http://www.listia.com/auction/197</a>

I'll bet the YC "Make Something People Want" T-shirts would sell for lots of credits (with pickup at YC HQ)!

I like this a lot.<p>Feature requests: How can I report an auction that seems fake? This one seems very fake. <a href="http://www.listia.com/auction/276" rel="nofollow">http://www.listia.com/auction/276</a><p>Watch item.<p>More options for listing, like a 3 day auction instead of 7 day or making my item show up more prominently in listings for extra points.

How do they assign a dollar value to the points for tax purposes? It's my understanding that they would have to in this scenario.

"1. Sign up and get 500 free credits"<p>I signed up and got 100 credits.<p>Why????

Congratulations.<p>1. Is there a way to sell your credits back? If not, won't black market deals just be created? e.g. creating an auction for a useless item?<p>2. If a new user signs up after viewing a listing for MY item, shouldn't I get the credit for the referral? Why not cookie them after they view my listing?

I want to buy $100 worth of credits from you guys. But what if I waste them bidding on items that never get delivered?<p>Also, do you cookie people once they click the referral link?<p>You have a bunch of typos on your About page

There's no way to tell how many credits I currently have that are available for bidding.<p>I want to be able to get email notification when I get outbid.
