I actually dont know why sellers dont simply unregister from the holding tank, instead of looking for a buyer. I assume it it possible to simply unregister and funds are automatically refunded.
Yeah it"s possible, me and a mate were selling our Swansea seats and he simply unreg"d as he wanted Betfair funds anyway so thought there was less hassle involved in simply unregistering and I posted a notice here along with my seat.
I was more surprised at a request to sell a seat for stars transfer only.
I think you might be referring to my request for transfer of my seat to be via Full Tilt transfer, and I don"t think it"s weird for me to request that - I don"t need money on Betfair, I didn"t want the cash and I needed funds on Full Tilt, simple as. One thing I fail to see though, is how unreg"n from the holding tank on Betfair is any fairer than posting here because it"s still fastest finger first and you"d still need to be online to notice it and would probably be alerted to it via here anyway.
