I don't understand gunpost's new auction system.

It says my account isn't eligible to apply for an auction, and now I can't even message the seller of an auction anymore. That means I can't even purchase this at all?

Wtf is this

Edit: and gunpost charge 3% for advertising fee? LOL WHAT IS GOING ON

*IIRC* You need a minimum of 5 ratings to act as a bidder, and 10 ratings to act as a seller. This is going off memory of the email they sent me.

They also warned not to try to spoof those ratings, as they apparently ban people for it plenty.

Edit: Just re-read the email and it's:

Bidder:
Minimum 3 month old account, with at least three 5-star ratings.

Seller:
Minimum 6 month old account, with at least ten 5-star ratings.

There's a local seller that has exactly what I want, and not only can I not make a bid, I can't even message the guy.

This is serious BS. What a scam.
