I propose that the Decentraland Marketplace introduce an option for sellers to set a minimum offer price for their listed items.
Currently, sellers can receive offers on their Marketplace items without being able to establish a minimum threshold. This can result in sellers receiving a large number of extremely low-value offers that are unlikely to be accepted
Problem
I have recently noticed increased activity from new users making very low-ball offers on Marketplace items. While offers are an important part of the Marketplace and can create opportunities for buyers and sellers, receiving offers that are significantly below a seller’s expected price can create unnecessary noise.
For users who have email notifications enabled, each of these offers generates an email notification. While notifications can presumably be turned off, doing so creates another problem: sellers may miss a legitimate offer or a genuine opportunity to sell an item
The issue is therefore not simply the number of notifications. It is the lack of a mechanism for sellers to establish a reasonable minimum threshold for offers
Proposed Solution
Introduce a Minimum Offer Price setting for Marketplace sellers
When listing an item, or potentially after listing it, the seller would be able to specify the lowest offer they are willing to consider/accept
For example:
A seller lists an item for 1,000 MANA
The seller sets a minimum offer threshold of 750 MANA
Offers below 750 MANA would either be prevented from being submitted or would not trigger an offer notification to the seller
Offers at or above 750 MANA would be treated as valid offers and would notify the seller normally
The exact implementation could be determined by the Foundation (Regensis Labs) and community upon further discussion
