Sales corner restrictions
I like rules and I understand them. Just a polite question tho... why the difference between being able to have access to viewing sales corner and being able to post on it. Having a lot of fun on here but got a couple to move on and really don't want to use fleabay for them. Quite unusual watches (I'll resist the temptation of posting a pic here for fear of coming across as trying to back door advertise). Just looking for your thoughts

I know what you mean, but that's not really what it's about.
When you do deals with people on SC it's generally by sending them money as a bank transfer and then they send you the watch. As a buyer, it's a little alarming at first: you're sending money to a complete stranger whose real name and address you probably don't know. You have no credit card protection, no security, no guarantee that you'll ever even hear from them again, and no comeback if they decide to just take your money and run. The first thing I bought here was a SubC, and it was a nerve-racking few days before it arrived!
The only protection we do have is that if you get ripped off, you can call the seller out on the forum and then no-one else will deal with them in future. But if they just popped on to do the one deal, that probably won't bother them.
With the system as it is, you need to invest a fair amount of time and energy into the forum and become part of the community before you have the opportunity to sell. Having done that, sellers are less likely to blow their forum reputation for the sake of one deal. Yes, things go wrong very occasionally, but it's still far safer than eBay or any other Internet marketplace.
So it's not a presumption of dishonesty about newbies; we just ask that you demonstrate a bit of a commitment to sticking around for the long term, to protect people who deal with you, and in turn you will benefit from that protection yourself later on.

It is not as if the requirements are excessive.
Bide you time,not that hard.
Just the fact that someone needs to make a post about access to SC or ability to sell is jarring for me.
Other than the undue hurry that is annoying, it sounds like a whinge.
And,often it is a matter of not bothering to read rules or laziness to do some research.
The worst is- I just typed my 50th post- why is Eddie not at my house with s bottle of champagne to invite me to SC?
...easily jarred. Not that adept at reading what I actually wrote. Maybe you are pre-menstrual ? You never had a watch to sell?, or maybe you're too busy writing to your local newspaper about the state of the roads in your neck of the woods.
