(A) We do not send out registration emails to our customers now. All new users are approved automatically. However before you can place an item to auction you must get verified. All members must make a small payment to our account usually around 5 pence. We then place a verified endorsement badge next to your user name. Linkmarketdirect.com uses this prefered approach, as emails are easily set up, where as payments from an individuals bank accounts are traceable and are a better measure in regards to security and a members validity.
