That's a good thing, anyone not willing to pay a very reasonable fee or provide personal details to be allowed to use the trade room should be treated with caution in my eyes.
oOple currently do not make a penny from the trade section yet spend hours policing activity for our safety and then have to deal with the fallout and earache if anyone isn't performing fairly or is scammed in trade room... there are also a fair few that obviously make good money on here with regular selling... it's a privilege to be able to get good prices for stuff, direct to market sales as well as being able to pick up the odd bargain and rare kit from fellow enthusiasts.
i would much sooner trade with people that have contributed towards the cause rather than being too tight and rather deal with oOplers that have given some id.
If the tightwads don't like it then they can freely use ebay etc and suffer the scams, low protection, lower values and high fees!
