in my opinion all forumers should validate their identity by sending ic photocopy and valid address to admin and been verify before can make any transaction in lowyat.net...

this is important to make sure no more fraud case or it can be reduce ...

this is my suggestion oni...

hope admin can pin this thread

who is going to check the validity of the ic and address????

Been suggested before, discussed before, result is no

i dun wan my identify(photostat ic) being expose to a stranger....

if no cannot do anything la ... for new comer how we must to trust them.. cod is a good idea but if 1 person at penang and another 1 at johor .. its hard is it...

then buy from the local store, or from trusted seller, abit expensive is ok, people get conned becoz they fall for cheap price.

dont buy from newbie...

online trading is all about trust.
if u dun trust each other, then dun trade lor..
juz buy from a local store would do..

as simple as that

PS - lelong oso got so many scam and con case, even they got ic validate feature

thats why they got something call safe trade for newbies, haha, but i doubt lyn can implement it

well, one more reason is this is a forum, a place to sharing and changing informations/experiences, discussion and gaining knowledge..

its not built specially to trading..like lelong and ebay..

thats why there are no implementation for things such as mentioned above..

this has been discuss tons of times before. All the reasons above has been pointed out. Short answer is "NO".

Mods should close this thread.

trade at ur own risk

Anyone who's suggested this hasn't thought anywhere further than just the basic idea

Explain to me how the mods will be able to verify someone's IC?
If i take my friend's IC and claim to be him, how would u be able to know that the person in the IC is not me when no one in the forum has ever seen me?
And LYN does not have access to government records or anything, i could photoshop a random person's pic and make up the details and no one would be able to know that they're fake

Suggestions are good, but think of them yourself before voicing them out

con cases will never ended

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=faq&article=38

this is freakin' hilarious...

reminds me of the April Fool's joke 'announcement' on the front page you guys made...

i dont think this is a good idea. this will open up the seller's privacy. There's other alternative way beside showing ic ( but ic oso can be fake la.. )

we prefer is like ebay system. full secure. learn from ebay perhaps just my 2 cents.

You're asking a forum to learn from an auction site

Yup ofcourse its good....
But do u want to pay to sell here?

I know, u dont need to pay to sell in lelong.com.my.....
But they afford it coz there's alot of members tat pay to them to compensate the non paying seller...
And they have a "real" company with staffs...
LYN doesnt have.

Huh??? I thought lelong need at least registration fee for sign up....
BTW, LYN is a free trade platform...
