Any forum members SELL in Marketplace?
Just wondering a few things:
1. What is the participation/ traffic ratio of the discussion forums vs. the Marketplace?
2. Further, how many people just watch marketplace and don't participate in the forums?
3. Does anyone SELL in the Marketplace?
It strikes me that there may be two rather disparate groups, in in the forums and one in Marketplace.

Me neither, and I don't have to moderate the marketplace, only the forum.

It is a totally different audience indeed.
The marketplace has more traffic than the forum and more than 1,100 registered members. It now represents 20% of Insectnet turnover, it is a big success. Some sellers are switching a lot of their offers from eBay to Insectnet like beetlesdundee. (because Insectnet charges 5% final value fees, while eBay charges at least 13%).
And our sponsors are happy to rent banners on the marketplace as they are sure to "target" insect buyers.
The forum is more for "field" collectors while the marketplace is full of collectors, who are not all field collectors.
