You have made an acceptable point and I actually restructured my comment while you were replying in order to avoid that repetition. You still have not answered the questions that matter though. You are just getting very defensive.
By your own statements. The fact that forgery exists should then influence you to provide something for the buyer to give your listing authenticity of quality.
Please also refrain from the defense mechanisms. This is obviously a new initiative. It is now public though. Thus criticism must be accepted equally with the praise. The initiators of the project should have implemented some guidelines to eliminate negative use. That's where this questioning will hopefully lead to.
YES, we are all here on steemit on good faith believing that everyone here is good and can be trusted. Reality is however, not that simply.
I'm not new here on Steemit. I made already a few contests where I paid for the winners.

Currently there is no mechanism implented in Steembay so it's built on trust. Whoever doesn't trust me it's up to him. I didn't get a (50) rank just to lose it for 1 auction. This is the first auction and if it works out I plan to make more.
This guy puts down "facts" he doesn't ask anything, just telling you how stupid you are to participate in this auction and than with the punchline:
that's horrible.
I don't care much about the watch. I can sell it at a different venue, it just bothers me that people go out of their way to destroy someone elses business.
You still didn't answer the questions regarding your listing. The nature of the internet also means that even ned himself, could be seen as a bad actor. That is the whole reason for the blockchain. It aims to eliminate that. Only for the data though.
Transactions are still made by human, between humans. There needs to be implementations with initiatives such as this to rule out as much foul play as possible. There is no such assurance for a buyer. Whether I trust you or not is not the issue. The system is where the trust factor must exist.
@funatoz has questioned this on the original post and received a rather simple and troubling reply:
That's essentially saying, if you get ripped off, it's your problem to deal with. Hardly a solution when no one is obligated to place any identifying information on the blackchain. Thus such methods of recouping lost funds would lead no where.
You need to also stop seeing it as a personal attack.
When we question the issues with steemit.. are we trying to destroy their business? No. It's about finding issues which could do with some improving.
that sentence says it all , how short and horrible written. Longer than that it dous not have to be, flagging of would be very wrong, because this is in children shoes. <But with all your respect i do think you should take his reply in your heart. I think selling here on steemit needs to be more than just present something and than thinking people will believe you speak the thruth because your rate is high.
I hope you really do not see it as bad critic. On fb I moderate a few antiques groups. We want people to write what it is, the material, the brand , the weight, where else promoted etcetera, all you know about the subject, the more you can tell the better the sell! Now for me it is not good at all living in europe it does not get send to here... :-) Much luck whit your sell !
You are right. Your critic in place. I'm not a good writer, especially descriptions, but I should have written more.
and more you may not read in the answer that came over ever so unfriendly, but would have ment the same said descent. all begin is difficult ! :-)
