New Sales and Classifieds Rules

[nhbc]

Thanks Lump.

Sorry to be a pain in the a$$ but what are we to do if say buyer #1. offers up the asking price and then does not show up for days and buyer #2. who has good feedback etc and also has money offers to pay straight away? Does this mean that the seller has to automatically hold onto the item until buyer #1 decides to pay up?

I agree with Topchef on this one,

there should be a time scale on when to expect payment,

for example

Paypal 24 hours
cheque 3 days

From when the seller says 'it is sold' UNLESS the seller agrees to extend it because he knows the purchaser or they have good feedback or he is prepared to wait.

if payment is not recieved in this time frame, the seller could post up on his sale, to confirm no payment recieved and that he has PM'd the buyer to that effect.

this makes other potential buyers aware it may be back up for sale.

The buyer then has another 12 hours to make payment or for payment to be recieved OR it goes back on the market.

items are still for sale until you receive payment, that's how ive always worked it

Would it be possible for me to make a tiny contribution.....
if a post is new, yep deletion is good as it gets the message across, but any threads that were started prior to today should be locked and grave-yarded. As a couple of my sales threads are handy for reference and I don't want them to be deleted if someone asks a question on one of them.

 

[Lump]

no if an old thread gets bumped it will die. if an old thread still running. then no worries.

Has anybody noticed a reduction in new FS threads since 7pm yesterday?

And most of them have been deleted by Lump anyway

 

[Lump]

its easier than trying to sort out deals that have gone wrong

 

[s1im]

I can see this keeping you very busy for a couple of weeks at least!!

 

[Lump]

well this is how its going to be, the sign up and ability to post in classifieds is so easy on this site and the value of items. TBH the problems we have had over the last few months. would rather have no deals than messed up ones

 

[topchef]

In that case Ya may as well shut down the classifieds altogether as theres always gonna be some bugger ruining it for the rest of us (doing bum deals). I'm certainly not touching the classifieds at the moment for fear of a deal getting chopped halfway through. Theres a lad posted up now that you obviously havent spotted yet.....would be well annoying if I actually tried to buy his gear.
