Maybe put a filter option not to show reserve auctions which can be saved to the account?

How many domains with reserve do you see selling at any auction platforms? A very small percentage. There is a reason for that - people with reserves usually have unrealistically high expectations. A filter would give people the option not to have to wade through any of them. People don't have to use it.
There are several what I would call "not worth reg fee" names on there with reserves in the £xxxx category.

I've only used a reserve once and it was a realistic reserve which was met. Its too easy to list crap/misspell names at £xxxx in the hope some idiot will come along.
I would also think similarly tiered limits can be applied to how many Auctions you can have with or without Reserve.
I would suggest this
1-4 ...... 1 Reserve 5 Overall
5-9 ...... 2 Reserve 10 Overall
10-14 ...... 3 Reserve 15 Overall
15-20 ...... 5 Reserve 20 Overall
20+ ...... 10 Reserve 25 Overall
Just my opinion but I feel the overall should be limited also. It might encourage people to run shorter auctions which will create a higher turnover.
Hi All,
Just wanted to run this past you all.
In order to drastically reduce the amount of low quality reserved auctions how does this sound?

Please let me know your thoughts, Cheers, Colin
Edit: Maybe a member with 0 feedback should be allowed to have at least one reserve auction?
I will have a think about including numbers for the "total number of auctions" allowed and post up a table soon.
I would suggest a limit based on number of auctions without bids, rather than including auctions with bids. Although there is a danger some might try to play the system with shill bidding, but at least there's no incentive to avoid a £5 listing fee.
It seems I'm in the odd few category.
The problem I highlighted is the case. That the quota only goes off feedback, if no feedback is left the auction limits do not increase.
To highlight this I have 9 completed sales and only 3 feedback responses. There is no incentive for anyone to complete feedback.
