Default Donation for sale ads

Just saw this on another forum and thought it was a good idea, what they do is, in their for sale sections they make ads and donate a percentage of the price and donate it to the site, in return the admins or moderators make their ad a sticky for a while. I think this will make sellers want to donate money to the site when they want to sell something urgently, also it will be good for the site. It would be something to consider once the donating side of things is all sorted!

PS I hope that made sense, because i'm in a hurry:P

No it makes sence, and a fair idea for a premium sales items if required.

go round to their house with a baseball bat ?

or get get minge to sit on them ? lol.

Nah sounds like a decent idea, but would be hard to enforce, though i'm sure only genuine people would get involved. Worth considering.
