Bad Traders and temporary bans
The bad trader and temporary ban thread can be found here > http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9758
First up with a temp ban is that constant problem konamad :twisted:
Guidance
- Exchange 'real' contact details like name, address and phone number before the transaction occurs.
- Sell multiple items in one post.
- Keep commentary on pricing to a minimum - the value of retro parts is very subjective.
- Some 'trading' is acceptable - wheeling and dealing is part of the retro scene. However if you are doing it consistently suggest you use http://www.ebay.co.uk.
Complaints?
Remember we at retrobike supply these adverts free of charge as a service to buyers and sellers. Although we will try to assist in case of problems ultimately this must be sorted between buyer and seller. If this is an issue suggest you use a service like http://www.ebay.co.uk. where there is more comeback.
If you feel you need to make a complaint to a mod please supply the following information
1. Are you buyer or seller.
2. Other username.
3. Item and price paid.
4. Link to original advert.
5. Nature of complaint.
6. How have you contacted other user. PM, email, phone ?
7. Has feedback been left.
Myself and the other mods don't especially like all these rules. However it would seem that as the site grows some people continously take the piss. This causes problems and bad feeling for users. As such we hope these updated rules and guidance will help weed out the bad eggs and keep everyone happy.
