Hi erica,
Here are a few thoughts on your comments:

By making things more transparent (as you put it), the privacy of the Giver and Taker is undermined. JumbleTown allows Members to conduct their "business" in private on a public forum. Some Givers do mention that X has collected an item, but it's not JumbleTown policy. Those Members who seem to request a lot of items are usually requesting items on behalf of family and friends. Admin does not keep track of the number of items collected by any one Member.

Admin suggests that Givers who do not wish their item to be sold on should state exactly that in their ad. Having said that, I think
the amount of "selling on" is negligible.
Thanks for the feedback.
