well if the only requirements are an ABN and money then theres alot more that is doable to ensure that the trader is 'worthy' of trading on the forum and able to provide something good to the members (which are important to both parties - ozhonda & the trader).
Simple questions like:
what would you be selling on the forum ( just wheels, performance parts, asthetics etc)
what previous/current trading activities do you have? ( ebay, other forums, actual shop front etc)
how do you plan to operate? (regular restocking, importing containers from over seas (grey import - very important to members, authorised dealer etc)
what policies and procedures do you have/implement in your sales (refund procedures, complaint handling etc)
Any person that runs a serious business should be able to answer those questions without any difficulty.
Those questions should be able to give wyn/mods a good start in knowing whether the possible new trader is going to be a benefit to the community or just a potential pain in the ass for members.
That should be a good start in weeding out the pros and the cons.
EDIT: I am grateful that the community is here, and understand that its not a right and is a privilege to have, but does that mean that it can't be made better?
