The problem is, what if the advertiser abused all of my contact information, posted them at the advertisement.
Except the email address he used his own one.
Imagine if there is any interested buyer didn't call my number which he posted, and email him directly, then very likely the buyer will fall into the trap and get cheated (if he banked in full in advanced and cannot COD with him)
Since your system doesn't require someone to register, anyone can advertise under the name of "austin", "alibaba", "najib" etc, duplicates my advertisement and posting up at mudah.com.my
Once victims got trouble after get cheated, who will they look for? Me? or the con man......?

Hi Austin,
I understand clearly what you have just said. When developing Mudah, we can either make it to be:
1) Simple and straightforward, extremely fastloading so that everyone can use it easily without getting confused.
2) Put in all the advance features, make it as complicated and messy as one of the other sites you've mentioned, and have user registration, feedback, etc.
You see, easy, fast and convenient means keeping certain features away so that the majority of users who are not so technically savvy can jump into Mudah without much hassle and confusion.
To keep mudah as safe and as clean as possible, we're manually rejecting all ads that do not meet our terms and guidelines.
And if any advertiser cheats or defrauds a buyer, then we will always work hand in hand with the buyer, and also the police in tracking down the seller.
You raised a good issue regarding a permanent username and reputation status, something which we have thought of and I myself have brought up with the management on a number of occasions.
For the time being, this feature is not available, for the sole reason of keeping everything fast and convenient.
I will bring up this issue again tomorrow with the management and see how we can resolve this specific type of reputation stealing scenario.
Thank you so much for speaking your mind out.
We are always listening.
Thanks,
Yam Chuan, Wee
