Selling To Newbies

Recommended Posts

We get enough problems sorting out trades gone bad (when frankly, I have better things to do, even if it is doing some washing up or something) without having to deal with new members too. Its also a way of encouraging new members to try and get validated.

Why should it come back to you, just send people a generic email about how what's posted in this forum isn't your responsibility, everyone trades at their own risk etc etc.

As for the rule, I've said this in other threads, the rule was made to stop people from just signing up to the forum to sell, however the reason kind of turned into 'we need to protect out members from scammers' which i think it a bit of a scapegoat. They're both valid reasons, but i don't think 'to protect our members' is a good enough reason, however the other is.

As for warning members for doing this, there's definitely a different set of rules for each member. I post a picture of a bunch of guys semi-naked (the simps picture which was pretty PG), i get banned for 5 days, someone posts a picture of a penis, it gets reported, but it's still there to this day. It boils down to who the mods like and who they don't like.

I've been getting emails from a lad in Finland about the Zona I've got for sale, he wants to pay upon delivery for trust reasons, either that or pay half now, other half when he gets it. It's just not going to happen!

I've explained to him that being a Senior on here, I'm sure he'd be able to trust me, and seeing as he's not even a member on here, how can I be certain I can trust him with it?

You can't and shouldn't.
