When I was looking into whether or not to sign up to sell on this site (in the not to distant past) my view was slightly tainted after reading sellers comments on the forum regarding lack of sales and I think, as a prospective seller at the time, that if I had read more comments on sales and the steady increase that sellers have seen, I would have been much less hesitant. The comments I read were mainly sellers complaining but if I had read more comments on good sales/increasing sales I would not have been concerned and I definately think this is the same for other would be sellers.
I think the more sellers share their success on the forums, the more prospective sellers will have confidence in the site, thus increasing the variety of products available which will lead to more people buying from the site (a knock on effect if you like).
