F-Body Classifieds Rules - READ ME - F-Body Online

Rocket 442 · 11-28-2007, 09:18 PM

*Please read and follow these rules before creating a new thread, posting, or purchasing from someone within these forums.

1. 5 Posts Required - You are required to have 5 posts on f-body online before you can create a For Sale (FS), Want to Buy (WTB), or Want to Trade (WTT) thread. If you have less than 5 posts, you may post responses in other peoples threads, but they by no means have to deal with you if they don't wish to.

2. For Sale, Want to Buy, Want to Trade, Sold: Thread Prefixes are there for you to use!! Right next to the thread title when you're creating a thread is a pulldown that has FS, WTB, WTT, and Sold. Choose the one you need and it will add a colored prefix to your post on the classifieds page so people can see what they're looking for easier. If you remember, change your items to "Sold" when you've sold or found what you needed.

3. No Negative Comments - Do not post negative comments, or comments such as "$XX.XX is way too much", if you're not interested in the classified, do not post within its thread.

4. Sell only in your Possession - Do not sell anything for a friend, anything you sell must be owned by you, and you must have it at the time of the sale. Any such sale will be deleted immediately.

5. Price - A Price or Buy it Now (BIN) is required in For Sale threads. If you'd like to give it to a "highest bidder", set the BIN at a high (but reasonable) value and let users give you offers.

6. Trader Rating - Check the users Feedback System (look at the "Feedback: X" under their Postcount in a thread and click the value within the parentheses to see they're buying/selling history). It is set up much like eBay's rating system.

7. Responsibility and Risks - F-Body Online does not take any responsibility for run-off sellers, buyers, or any other problems within the F-Body Classifieds. Use common sense and reasoning to reduce the risk of getting scammed. We offer this as a free service for users of F-Body Online and do not want to be involved in altercations. Some simple things to help protect yourself

use paypal if possible for payments
Make sure to get the persons full name, address, and information prior to sending money/product
Use a shipping method that requires signature upon arrival if the item is expensive, also a good idea to get insurance for it.
Things too good to be true... usually are

Update:

I've added a section in each members profile that shows their iTrader Buyer/Seller ratings.

If you've bought anything from someone (vendors included), or sold something to someone in the past and would like to leave some feedback I encourage it.

Thanks.

Updated the Feedback Section. Each User Profile now has a "Feedback" Tab that is visible (much like eBay's system).
