Yep, there are email notifications when one of your items sells. You can also see your sold listings by visiting:
We have plans for adding the marketplace items to the sniper, but no exact time frame for doing it yet. We didn't feel that was a feature that was absolutely necessary for launch.
Thanks for your concern. If someone is worried about that, the best thing to do is not transact with someone with 0 reputation. There is always more risk transacting with someone with no history to go on.
Paypal and eBay are separate companies now so Paypal would not be biased based upon any competitive factor. Up until several months ago that might have been a concern
Thank you for your feedback. Users have been able to create accounts on our site for the last six years, not to participate in a marketplace but to do other things on our website. To reward long time users we count the date when they first started their account.
It works for reputation as well because they are people who have had an account for years, long before we even thought of a marketplace. Someone who created an account 6 years ago vs someone who created an account 1 hour ago, are very different in terms of the risk of transacting with them. We take that into account and let users know this as well.

You can make as many manual listings as you want. There is no limit.
Every item on the site has a 14 day money back return policy. All sellers agree to offer that as a minimum return policy for what they sell.
There is a feedback system in place so buyers and sellers will leave feedback for each other. Users should transact with people with higher feedback ratings if they want more assurance the transaction will go smoothly.
There will be no seller or buyer protection offered by us. The marketplace is free so we cannot afford to offer any guarantees.

Thanks for posting items on PriceCharting. I'm glad to hear about your excitement. I'll answer your question in a few ways.
A. We are only 3 days old. The marketplace just launched and so far we have had thousands of people to the site, roughly 17,000 items listed, and hundreds of items sold. We continue to add new features that users ask for like 'newly listed' games, browsing listings by console, and seeing full resolution images for all items (by clicking on image).
We will continue to add new features that users ask for. Like adding support for Canadian users and maybe Paypal.
B. We are doing marketing for the marketplace. We've posted about it and run ads on Facebook, contacting gaming sites, posted on forums, and emailed contacts.
We would love help from users on marketing. If you like the marketplace and are excited about buying and selling games for free, let other people know about it. Email some fellow gamers, post about it on facebook, contact a gaming site, just let them know what you like about the marketplace so far.
eBay charges a 10% fee and uses those fees to advertise eBay. You are basically paying them to advertise. We don't have fees so we can't afford to pay for ads, but we hope users will want to tell others about the site.
C) We monitor all listings and evict ones that are not allowed. We only allow NTSC games. So any imports we find we will remove.
We appreciate you trying the marketplace. We are working hard to make the marketplace a success. You can help by letting other people know about the marketplace.
