The StarBazaar is a great place to find items long since gone from the Starplaza. Paying members can get rid of items they want and earn Stardollars and Starcoins, and we can all buy great items for reasonable prices.

But what happens when the prices aren't so reasonable? When sellers want Stardollars for Starcoin items, even? I've often had the problem of seeing a member with some great Starcoin items I really wanted to buy, but the seller wants me to pay Stardollars for them! Not only is this difficult for me as a non-Superstar with limited Stardollars, but it also goes against the One-Stop Rules about trading items. Stardoll doesn't let you sell Starcoin items for Stardollars (and vice versa!), but some users will ask you to buy an expensive Stardollar item from them before they reserve the Starcoin item for you.

Sellers - I know that you probably have a lot of Starcoins you don't want. I know that paying members get advantages that non-paying members can't get, like extra Stardollars to spend. But it's very unfair that we can't buy the items we want, in the currency they're supposed to be sold in. If we want to buy a Stardollar item from you, we will, but Starcoin items are Starcoin items for a reason.

Buyers - Be careful! Don't enter into any deals or trades that make you feel cheated, or that break the rules! If a seller is asking an unacceptable price (SD for a SC item, over 600 SC or SD), tell them that what they're doing is wrong. If they don't listen, report the user and don't buy from them. We are all responsible for making Stardoll a fair and safe place to be.

How do you feel about this issue?

Til next time!
