We appreciate it. One thing to keep in mind… Our buyers aren’t going anywhere. They are savvy business people. They don’t care about the design of the site or the fact the logo sucks (the current logo is a placeholder BTW), they simply get on with the business of buying, and we’ve made it a lot easier for them to do that on flippa.com. Meanwhile while you all whine and complain about the fees, the design, etc. the smart sellers are listing their sites on flippa.com and they are attracting the majority of the buyer interest. They will also get the added benefit of the PR we’re about to roll out. So, it’s totally up to you! If you want to come across to flippa and sell your site in the professional marketplace we’re creating for serious buyers, we welcome you with open arms. If not, please do go to digitalpoint. List your site for free and see if the old adage of “you get what you pay for” applies." I have a proposed logo for Flippa on my site ... basically, it's the Twitter Fail Whale. I don't particularly care for having a site owner insult me and call me names as a paying customer while trying to extract even more money from my pockets. Less usability, cheesy Web 2.0 design and insults all combine to make Flippa a Floppa in my book. The same Sitepoint scammers are still posting projects, while many of the paying customers are moving to sitedeal dot org and other new emerging listing services that don't insult paying customers. Thanks for all your positive feedback guys. We appreciate it. One thing to keep in mind…

As a buyer and seller on Sitepoints Marketplace, I agree there was a lot of rubbish sites for sale. Many of sellers were reporting other sellers stealing graphics, and content which is sometimes copyright infringement, and no actions were being taken by Sitepoint. But on the other hand lets look at it as a business point of view for a min. With each listing at the Marketplace was costing the seller $10 USD to list what ever they wanted. Why turn away money, the company is making it and is doing nothing to provide any service to protect the other sellers or buyers whom are being scammed by these hoax sites. With the new Flippa marketplace the prices have now doubled to $19 USD to the buyer to list their products. There are now more fees just as eBay has a final value fee for a completed auction. And still there is no more support for the theft of copyrighted items. Think Quality over Quanity. That is what Sitepoint started off as, and now its turning for the worse. With other sites offering the same services or even more services for a cheaper price, Flippa will be affected. I have read your review on sitepoints’ reason for moving to the new flippa.
