I didn't explain fully the process but please stop picking holes in something that does work.
There a quite a few steps involved but here are a few stages to give an idea.
Might I add that sales are approved by the moderators and given the green light before they proceed...
This method is used on several forums and works well
These rules have been drawn up by your Admin/Mod team in order to try and standardize the selling of items within this section. The rules are in our opinion fair and have been drawn up with input from the general membership whom they serve.
1) Eligibility to sell: Rules for eligibility include the following:
A) A member of ****** in good standing
B) Minimum of 25 (non post whoring/subsequent) posts and 30 days membership for non-VIP (See Post #2 in this thread for further clarification see also **************).
C) Breathing and have a pulse
D) Must be willing to help your buyer to resolve any "after" sales issues. (Immediately after the sale, within a reasonable amount of time.)
2) Registered non-Supporting members may list only one ****** per sale/trade and only have three ***** sales in a 30-day period and may not depict more than one ******* in a sales/trade thread. Additionally Non supporters may only list one ***** at a time and must wait until the last sale is complete before listing the next sale
(only one working sale at a time )
Only one sales thread to be created per item.
Supporting members are entitled to unlimited sales per 30-day period and the ability to list multiple ****** per sale. Members are encouraged to limit multiple ******* to five or fewer in one thread and to post new sales only after the current five items are completed. ****** parts (*****, ******, etc) have no sales limit.
3) If a registered non-Supporter posts a ****** and it is NUKED for any reason, or you withdraw the item, it counts against your 30 day sale/trade limit.
4) Photo requirements: every ****** or part listed for sale MUST have at least one or more photos (not links to photos or thumbnails) with a clear in focus shot of both the item for sale and handwritten tag (not photoshopped/computer generated/typed/iphone etc) included. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS.
Tags must include the following...
Your User ID :
Today’s full date (including year):
Photos must be hosted and REMAIN AVAILABLE for a minimum of three months after the sale. Deleting or moving images from your clickpix, imageshack, or any other picture service account that causes them to be unable to be viewed will constitute an infraction as well.
