accept debit card/credit card payments. i know a handful of people that have given up on this site due to the lack of knowlege of sending and purchasing crypto payments here in the USA because of the regulations the banks put on us, or even how long it takes to be able to have the crypto clear to even be able to send.

My thoughts are complete.
-
I think requiring payment for listings across all categories would substantially improve quality for both buyers and sellers. Quality sellers can handle volume; need less noise.
-
Tipping would also improve seller quality. Sellers would be more motivated to complete services quickly and at a higher standard. It would also encourage regular users to put more effort into providing value where needed.
-
Remove direct chat. Itâs always been useless for me personally. I think DMâs are better.
-
A 5th ad space called âStaff pickâ where you feature popular / trending services. This would help buyers discover listings that are doing well, which is a win / win for buyers, sellers, and the platform.

100% agree, i think since it has been integrating all I have gotten was maybe 200 unsolicited messages of people pitching their accounts or services
Chat stays, but we can limit it (for example) to Trust level 1 or 2 so new members arenât able to use it.

Yeah that would help, majority of the messages I get are from Indian users - no transactions whatsoever

Alright, we will consider it. The problem is, Trust Level 1 is not easy to get, disabling chat for new members would also disable our help bot for them which ppl use (yes could get around that but need devs), and a few other problems I donât feel like writing about.
I will look into spam sensitivity first.

Not everyone realizes it yet, but these changes are necessary. No premium marketplace can survive while being flooded with spam, fake expertise, and race-to-the-bottom pricing from people who often canât even deliver what they promise.
Higher standards donât kill a platform, they protect it. Less noise, more trust, better business.

I didnât read through the comments. But your main post is full of good stuff. Glad youâre being active on the pain points.
Very annoying things, from a buyer perspective:
Sellers be putting 95% SR and in reality failing 99.9% of the time.
Sellers that say ANYTHING can be done but decline so much â â â â in DMâs. Just a waste of time for everyone.
Sellers that say GUARANTEED DELIVERY but couldnât deliver water in the ocean.
Sellers putting X price in their listing, without stating âstarts from,â and then you donât wanna deal with them again because theyâre quoting 3-5x the price in dm.
Sellers not willing to starts tickets, until they complete a job, to save their reputation.
And finally, sellers who are online every 5 min but literally donât respond to DMâs yet still bump their posts daily.
MAKE SWAPD GREAT AGAIN.

Facts, these are far more egregious issues needing to be fixed on Swapd. Far more destructive and annoying than the nigerian guys who you can literally just ignore.
The purge of services is coming, donât worry.

So what would be the criteria for filtering out Nigerians who are the âtrouble baseâ of the community
Too many users comment in post asking for PM and then donât respond the PM. Wasters time.
OK, I have to say Iâm starting to see fewer spam topics with âexpertâ in the title, and you can trust me bro DMs.
