Therefore can I suggest that if you have seat to sell, that you go to the bottom of this list and IM the next person in line and ask if the are still looking. This would seem to be the fairest way to ensure that those who asked first get first dibs. It"s just a thought!

Nice idea but, without someone maintaining a list the threads/posts move up and down depending on replies.
So if someone just comments on a sale, it pushes it to the top..regardless of whether any sale is pending or not.
I would also mention that posting multiple requests (as I have seen some people do) wastes time and is, ultimately, ineffective, as the threads/posts get merged.
Curlarge:
Well this has certainly given us something to discuss this afternoon. thanks to all for your comments, I agree with virtually everyone, I guess it"s a difficult thing to regulate and things will continue as they have.
Geo:
Think Paul has it about right, anyone selling a seat for APAT events will always find a buyer and with the amount of requests to buy and the many "bumps" that some get it is difficult to determine who was first, apart from trawling all requests and checking date and time posted.
There was a post stuck up last night alerting that there had been an unreg and that gave someone the opportunity to then log into betfair and pick up the seat. Seemed fair to me, even tho I was at work and couldn"t take it up myself.
I was more surprised at a request to sell a seat for stars transfer only. This could have been done by agreeing to unreg and allow the person you had agreed to exchange with to reg and I would assume the method chosen required the input of a member of admin. This method also limits the chances of grimming.
For almost every event I have seen buy and sell requests appear and this can actually burden the admin staff with additional work they don"t need. Our link with betfair gives us the opportunity to sort these ourselves. The holding tank is a fantastic tool afforded to us that we didn"t have before so lets use it.
Suggestion:
I notice that when regging for a tourney on betfair that the list seems to remain in the order that people register. Would it therefore be feesible to have an additional holding tank for alternates in the future. This would list on a first come basis and if someone is selling a seat they can contact the next on the list and arrange a time for an unreg by the seller and a reg by the buyer.
Just my tuppence worth..................I await my PM ;)

.....An alternative solution would be to click the notify button within the seat exchange area and leave your mail application (MSN) logged in. Therefore when a new posting is made within the seat exchange area you will be notified by email and can quickly check to see if it is a seller and try to respond first. GL

That is a great idea, and thank you. :) Might have helped, even if it meant I left the office and drove home quickly to respond!
