I verified my Phone number, I never put my financial information on the Internet, I don't have Facebook or Twitter and don't plan to ever join, I am a 66 year old Man that likes fleamarkets and a Friend mentioned this site, so I thought I would give it a spin.
Then I wish you good luck and I still will be watching, you will be able to earn other badges over time, I enjoy this site and have actioned a few items, so enjoy, good luck I will be bidding.:)
