Agreed, if there are post I haven't seen I'll go back a page or two to see them. Seeing the same post on two pages is just clutter. also the way I have taken to handle this is use the block feature. Not the most elegant method but for the posters that regularly copy and paste a listing constantly it's better than seeing it over and over.

Not gonna lie, didn't even realize you could block users. Going to use this feature, thank you!

I'm interested in this. Any chance of a lower price because I'm a cheapo?

Not only that, but how is a picture of GTAV's box helpful in the slightest?

WTB Pikmin 3 USA copy. I really enjoyed the demo and surprised too this for $70+ for a used copy. I'm hoping to buy a used one with case/instructions for $50-60 
This is about me, isn't it? lol
I would be in favour of limiting the number of pictures per post. That'd help everyone out. You can easily put links to pictures instead.
Though saying someone should have to post every 300 posts instead of 150 just because they haven't sold anything? That's bullshit. Get over yourself.
Gives you an idea of the condition. That matters to a lot of people.

I'm pretty sure this is about
I'm pretty sure I've seen this post for the past 3 months
Even if it is him, if he's been posting at intervals of 150 posts, then I don't really see the big problem. Dude only has 6 pictures, and everyone is free to sell at whatever price they want. If there is an interest in making a limit for pictures (or maybe even a limit on picture size), that would be great. Increasing the number of posts before a repost for everyone is fine, too. But as of now, there's really no problem with anything he has posted.

Positive buyer feedback for webkatt! Glad to get rid of the code I got on the crossbuy 3DS/Wii U game. Thanks!
So, you gonna do that with your next post? Your posts kill my mobile phone when I'm checking here

Maybe. Would be great if it's made one of the guidelines here. Already PM'd nrvalleytime about it, though I'm not sure if he was the right guy to PM.
You say that now, but you won't be able to resist the allure of clicking to view my post. You'll be back
Lol. How ironic. I've already blocked him.So, you gonna do that with your next post? Your posts kill my mobile phone when I'm checking here
Agreed. Said this myself a while back on the basis that it's not helpful, it's creating clutter and makes a person speed past the giant post. I think it's reasonable to have a limit of 3-5 images and URL links for the rest in each post.
A bump to 200 posts would not be so bad. 300 if people are really fed up with the repetitiveness.

Honestly I'm going to have agree with the others here on this. I'm getting tired of seeing the same giant ass posts every couple days since its making my webpage lag like crazy. At least they could just post imgur links or just take reduce the page instead of spamming it.
At this point if your stuff isn't selling after months of trying then you either need to lower prices or try somewhere else because honestly I want the Dragonball z statues and halo 4 giant pics to just be gone already,

Wow... that's an excellent point. There is an awful lot of scrolling past feedback posts just to get to the sales posts. Perfect example were the literally dozens of positive feedback for $20 Rise of Tomb Raider codes that went on for pages and still continues. One long string of feedback posts was for one seller.
I vote for a separate BST Feedback thread. It would reinforce and give true legitimacy to the 150 post rule. It would greatly cut back on thread clutter and allow us all to get to the meat of the thread more efficiently. It would act to reduce the instances of the repeat giant posts in any given amount of time as a result of no "filler" posts to cause frequent 150 post limit resets.
Wouldn't a separate BST Feedback thread also make it much easier for the few volunteers to sort through the feedback quickly? No need to wade through pages of sellers reposting stuff.
And it would be nice knowing that when you check your subscribed threads page and see BST has new posts, those new posts are actual WTB/WTS... not feedback or side discussions over feedback!

Agree, feedback and related discussion in its own thread would definitely trim the fat in this one. I've also gotten the sense of 'didnt I just see this yesterday' with a few of the posts here in recent weeks, especially the ones with lots of pics which kills my mobile phone. I don't want to resort to the ignore function, but damn....

We had this discussion before but couldn't come to an agreement. I doubt that'll change now, sadly.
I would be in favour of limiting posts to one or two pictures, everything else has to be linked.
Even on desktop I have to wait for all pictures to load or stop the site form loading before I can even can quickly browse a page. I understand that pics can be eye-catchers, but this thread should be less about out-advertising everyone else (some people even posted gifs...) and more about sharing information about the condition of items through pics. No one has to see them unless they're actually interested.
Also at this point it seems reposts of listings are almost daily, so an increase of the limit would make sense.

Honestly I'd be up for this all the way since it was help clean up the clutter and make it easier for volunteers to update feedback.
Let's do a poll and see where we stand. It would benefit us all. Who needs to see this*:
*No offense to these two, just using as a general example and it was the first post I saw.
Edit: and a change to limiting number of pictures per post would still be needed because separating feedback would still not solve that problem.
every few posts? These posts are mainly for the tracking of feedback by a select few. They serve no purpose to everyone else. Imagine browsing on amazon or ebay and being forced to navigate past tons of ratings and reviews intermingled with the stuff for sale you actually came to see. It's crazy.

Looking to buy the Mario Kart 8 OST that was given out by Club Nintendo in Japan & Europe. Been eyeing a few on eBay, but they're all the Japanese copy, and I would highly prefer the European print with the English track listing. Figured it was worth seeing if anyone on here had one for a decent price compared to eBay.
If it matters, I'm a Plus Seller with 11 positive feedback.

Mainly for the tracking of feedback for a select few? What? So nobody actually cares about feedback ratings? First I've heard of this.
Look, I'm all for having a separate feedback thread, but we have had this discussion multiple times before and I'm pretty sure there were other reasons why it never happened.
I don't really care either way about the other topic. I can see both sides, so it's up to the majority.

One of the main reasons it never got implemented was that people said they would be less likely to leave feedback if there were two threads. There was also talk of implementing a third party feedback system to the boards, but that was shut down since it would only benefit people in this thread.
As for pictures, I would be for having fewer on the message body and linking to an album instead.
Depends how the item is claimed. If it's sent as a gift, then there shouldn't be any customs on it, but if it's from a sale, people do get charged customs.
Ah, I just need to make sure that I tell my post office that the item I'm going to ship is a gift? I see. Thank you.

I wasn't involved in the last discussion, but I can see how putting feedback in a separate thread would discourage people from leaving feedback. it is only a "little" harder to go to a separate thread, but I bet some people would stop doing it because of this. There is also some value in my opinion to people developing positive and negative reputations directly in the thread for new people. i know it helped me get comfortable buying and selling when I came in not long ago.

Agreed, I know this has been brought up in the past and the majority didn't seem to care, most wanted to see the pictures. As a frequent buyer, pictures are a must have, but I say limit to posting like 3, then linking the rest (obviously with descriptions indicating what you're linking in those pictures). I, like so many others, get sick of scrolling through all the pictures just to get to the next post. I feel this would improve the buying/selling experience greatly.
To jump in on the discussion:
I'm for limiting the amount of pictures per post, or at least grouping the together at the start/end of your listing, so there isn't one picture for one line of item description multiple times.
For mobile users, there is always the forum-wide option to hide all images. You can't really tell people not to use picture, because you're concerned about your data.
It would definitely help if users used lower quality photos too, because we don't really need a 2000px photo of a box; 500px is enough and when quoted takes even less space. I guess the problem is, I'm not sure if everyone knows how to manually resize their photos.
I'm also against a staggered re-post amount; just because your items didn't sell for the last couple of weeks, doesn't mean there won't be a new user coming in and perhaps seeing something they want. We can't assume it's always the same people browsing the thread.
Lastly, in for a separate feedback thread. It would take out half of the clutter in this thread, and as a buyer, you should check for a seller's feedback either way, so going to the first page or a new topic won't be that different. The issue of someone being less likely to leave feedback this way is not really a concern; feedback is strictly optional, even if it does serve a great purpose to the community.

Yeah. Too much "Dont like thing" here.
Long as people are getting use from someones posts, why should they be limited just because you are lazy?
Scroll down or put them on ignore.
