Re: Membership requirements for potential renters ($9.99 fee) (by R P.):
I believe the staff at Redweek has already addressed this matter in a post above (scroll up). I didn't get the drift that they were going to change the issue in their post. The fee is to protect their customers (people placing ads). How many times do they have to tell you what the fee is for and why they charge it? If you're a customer then they are protecting your privacy. You are entitled to list your ads on other sites, both free and not free. There are many, many listing sites on the internet where your email address will be plainly printed.

If a business isn't willing to listen to their customers concerns, well they risk losing those customers. I'm not saying they have to change but at least listen to the concerns of their customers and see if they might be able to come up with a solution, ie, a trial membership as I mentioned earlier or maybe some other member has some ideas. This topic seems to have the most comments on here so we have to assume it is an important issue and deserves Redweeks consideration.
