Why does it just have to be video game related? :<
Can we sell sex? and I'm being serious.
Erotic massages then.
Can we sell our time in companionship? Anything that happens from there is between two consenting individuals.
Stop asking stupid questions.
Is there going to be a preferred payment method? Paypal or wut?
Every other forum i've done business on usually favors paypal mainly. Since "WU only" and crap like that have "scam" written all over it.
payment is up to the seller/buyer to decide
Can we post a "WTB" thread as opposed to a "WTS" thread?
Edit: Reason I ask, another forum I frequent has a "Buy/Sell/Trade" section, yet doesn't allow WTB threads to be posted.
yeah, WTB and WTS should be fine, if you are looking for something
can you enable thread title editing in this forum so we can update the status of the items?
users should be able to edit threads and close their own threads as well
cant edit thread titles, but i can close now. edit > title is not the one im talking about, that only shows up in the thread.
Thread Tools > Edit Thread is what we need in order to show the new titles in viewforum. It should be under Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Time Limit on Editing of Thread Title
this enables it globally though. i dont think you can enable on a forum basis ; ; if you dont want to turn it on np
it has to be forum based, Ill talk to the other admins and see what we can get setup if possible
It would be very helpful if people selling items, especialy disc based items, would describe their condition, so people know what their getting.
Most places I go with similar forums institute a policy to specifically posting a price with an ad. Auctions usually go to ebay.
copy of rules from other sites, rules specific to forum type removed:
1. NO COMMERCIAL POSTINGS
usually used when a site has sponsors, this one doesn't so idk if it's useful?
2. NO LINKS TO AUCTIONS
This is not an auction site and posting a link to an online or a more traditional auction is not allowed. This includes posting an auction so that you may have your pictures shown. You had to load your pictures for your auction, you must load your pictures here just the same. You may also post an email address or alternative site that is not an auction site for people to view your pictures.
3. STATE A PRICE
If you have an item to sell then you must state a price. This is not a site to solicit offers. It is allowed to state something such as price is $250 or best offer, but there has to be a price listed. If you do not know of a price to sell your item, we have plenty of very informative forums for you to post a question about the value of your item(s). People will be very happy to help you with this information. Ads that do not have a price will be deleted.
4. WTS or WTT or WTS/WTT
These title descriptors must be used – Wanted To Sell – Wanted To Trade. Be clear in the title of your listing. If you do not put this in the title, you will be asked to do so. If you do not place this in your title, your ad will be removed by one of the Moderators.
5. COMMENTS AND CHIT CHAT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED
This is not a discussion board and is not to be used as one. Possible reasons for unwanted chit chat:
A. Asking price - If you do not like an individual’s asking price, it is not your place to post that the price is too high. Do not comment.
B. Seller does not know the items value - there are forums to help them out. Report the post to the Trader Moderators. This is one of the many reasons for the post-reporting feature. Do not comment.
C. Seller does not have a price listed – report the post to the Trader Moderators. The problem will be fixed. Do not comment.
D. Commenting because you cannot help yourself or cannot resist the urge - Send them a PM or e-mail.
UNLESS THE COMMENTS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PURCHASE OR TRADE OF A LISTING ITEM, THEY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. NONE. ZERO. NADA – Clear enough? If after all this clarifying and you must make a comment, you will receive an infraction.
6. COMBINE YOUR ITEMS INTO ONE LISTING
This has become a real problem and seems to the rule ignored the most. There is limited space on the front page of this board and in most cases the items that sell the fastest are listed on the front page. As such, it is not fair to have one member make a number of postings dominating the front page of the board. If you have a number of items to sell you must combine the listings into one ad. If you make a sales posting and your first posting is still active (meaning the item did not sell) you cannot make a new listing of another item for 48 hours after the initial listing.
We will allow (2) two postings per week from standard site users of active listings. This does not apply to items that have been listed and are sold – Meaning if you list an item on Monday and it sells Monday night you are allowed to post another sales item on Tuesday.
7. BUMPING or BACK TO TOP Bumping or Back to Top(BTT) is allowed, but only by the following guideline:
A. only used (1) time per week.
Excess use of this type of post is not fair to new ad posters who are trying to sell their items. A comment will be considered a bump when an intentional comment, knowing that your ad will be brought to the top, appears. Messages that will be considered a bump include, but are not limited to, the following:
A. “Prices Reduced!”
B. “Act fast, items going quickly!”
C. “Sent PMs to all who inquired.”(If PMs were answered, all those who sent PMs will have your message in their in box. They will already know you replied!)
All these, and others deemed equivalent by the Trader Moderators, will be considered a bump or back to top (BBT).
8. MARK YOUR ITEMS AS SOLD OR NO LONGER FOR SALE
If an item(s) sell, please mark these as sold. If an item does not sell and you have decided you no longer wish to have the item listed – you must update your ad stating the item is no longer available.
9. YOU MUST HAVE A VALID EMAIL ACCOUNT
If you do not have a valid email account then your posting will be removed.
Sellers - Important Information - Email Listing
Some people that use free email systems are having issues with the automatic email replies here. This is due to the fact some email services will read replies as SPAM. As such, it is a good idea to list your email in any sales posting - just to make sure you get the contact sent by potential buyers. If you choose not to do so, do at your own risk and your item may remain unsold.
10. NO LISTINGS OF FUNDRAISERS OR RAFFLES
These may not be listed without the permission
12. NO LISTINGS OR LINKS TO COMMERCIAL SALES
No one may post links or information on sales to non sponsors
13. MULTIPLE USERNAMES ARE NOT ALLOWED
You must use ONE and only ONE username for listings on these boards. Anyone found to be listing under more than one name will be removed from the site.
14. DO NOT SHOOT YOUR MOUTH OFF
This is related to the no comments rule above but if you decide to use this board as a sounding board or as your own personal whining area – YOU WILL BE REMOVED. Show the proper respect to other users and moderators at all times or action will be taken. There are Positive and Negative Feedback Forums for all Trader transactions and this is the only board to be used for positive or negative comments about a seller, trader, or buyer. Otherwise, it does not belong here.
just a guideline of general rules
