Wow, I thought that this would be a really easy one, Nobody got an old box in their bathroom cupboard that they didn't use?
I'm wondering, do people only really sell if they are an existing seller, not bother if they have not sold before? Heck, if I had something that someone was asking for, I'd take the plunge to see how it all works and make some bc on the side.
What do others think?

not many people want to throw down $500 for a seller account just to sell a few extra meds they may have leftover. Let alone the risk involved to do such a feat for most people.

$500, I didn't realise, that explains a lot. Thanks for clarifying that for me. Why don't they have an account for low volume or 1 offs? Maybe something like 5% or 10% of sale price?

No problem at all. The high fee is in place to prevent scams (a seller could open up shop for $50, sell for a month, then cash in and scam thousands of dollars from users only to start again on a new account the next day). If someone is going to sell on SR, we want to be sure that they have the resources, security and knowledge needed to keep both buyers and themselves safe. One seller getting busted can put numerous of people in danger depending on what personal information they may have saved on their computer, mobile phone, etc. Another reason is to help prevent LE and other "bad" guys from setting up many vendor accounts and collecting address after address. Of course, this is all just logical speculation; many other reasons are definitely possibilities.
