Classifieds Update - Important Information

[MattC]

Look.. Who's going to stop you contacting this guy directly and buying his stuff? Answer... No-one.

The rules in the classified section are there for various reasons.. Reasons that have been gained by extensive experience...

Just dont come crying to the Mods or Robbo when your deal goes sour.

That is at least my interpretation.

Are there any plans to increase the post count requirement beyond 20?

Nice, i like your conference in the common man! Not everyones out to rip someone off!? and he seems genuine enough... Otherwise why would he be on here complaining he cant sell his stuff?

Sorry BOD, i didnt say i brought the gear from here, like i said, ""POLITICS""

i think your version of politics is different to most. We aren't trying to annoy you, its certainly no hidden agenda or conspiracy against new members, or old members who don't happen to post much.

we are however not sure how to proceed, so we are trying things out. What we do not want to happen on our forum is for any more people to get scammed. We always catch them, and not one has got away with it, but enough is enough. We have to try something, and if you have the miracle answer then please let us know.

think about it, you are talking like its a personal attack, what on earth would we gain from doing that?

Tell you guys what, go wild. Knock yourselves out with the classifieds.

On the flip side, we don't wanna know. About any of it.

If it goes sour, if it doesn't turn up or your PayPal payment is refunded because the buyer puts a fraudulent claim in, your problem.

The Mods will just sit back and make sure the rest of the forum ticks along. Failing hat, I guess we could ways delete the classifieds section completely and eliminate the problem entirely.......

so how do we sort this out, after all all i want to do is advertise my paintball gear i dont need no more, there is nothing else to it, just because i dont come here day in day out, i am stopped from stelling gear to people, who join your forum to Buy, and get advice. New and old.

 

[BOD]

you say that but you joined in 2003 and only have 144 on your count! Soo im being asked to do 12% of your activity over 10years befor i can buy on the classifieds!?!?!?! Thats what 1year and 2months worth! lol

I'm not the one complaining about the rules, every forum has rules and you either like them or don't it won't make the slightest difference to the forum. And sometimes rules change that's the way it is, no point moaning about it just get on with whatever you need to do, just be thankful it's not 50 posts needed to sell, that has been known before.

Pay for Platinum membership, search for another forum with its own set of rules, eBay, gumtree, car boot sales, anywhere else but this free resource. Free. Yet you're whining about 20 posts and rules which are in place for your protection as well as the buyers.

As you say, you're here for one reason only, if you don't come back, you'll not be missed will you?

 

[bevandpaul]

why not, when members join, get there address verified, copy of current utility bill/creditcard statement, etc. then you have a verified address at time of Selling. then if goes pear shaped they is some proof to pass to the police etc..

No i agree... apart from complaining about it is therapeutic (I am British) and of course gives me something to say inside this forum, as i stated befor i have very little knowledge of the sport YET...
