Buy & Sell Guidlines (Revised)

Dragon · #1 03-04-2006

Sellers Suggestions and Requirements.

Rules:

This forum is solely for members' personal sales. New items may be sold, but not by any company, retail or otherwise, or by anybody representing a company. Should you desire commercial advertisements on LondonRC, please review our Advertising Policies.
Posts linking to Ebay auctions are also not allowed and will be deleted.
All posts must list an item’s price. Auction style posts, and/or posts that do not have an item price listed are not allowed and will be deleted.
Under no circumstances may users post suggesting that a listed item may be found elsewhere at a cheaper price. It is the responsibility of the buyer to search for the best deal. This should be a safe, friendly environment for members to sell their items without being undercut within their own threads.

RESPONSIBILITY

All sales conducted within the LondonRC forums are the sole responsibility of the person(s) involved. LondonRC, and it’s staff will not be held responsible.
Do not post your personal address on these forums. The forums are viewable by anyone, and information posted here such as your address would be freely available to anyone. Keep that information strictly to Private Message or E-mail.
If a deal seems suspicious, or to good to be true, then it may be. Check the user’s profile and search for that individual’s feedback in the Trader Feedback section. Please report such threads to the moderators.
You are also responsible for posting Trader Feedback after the sale is completed. Please post such information in a prompt manor, as this information may be used by other potential buyers.

COURTESY

Please post listings within the correct forums.
Please include preferred contact information within your listing. This can include your e-mail address or Instant Messenger service handle.
No random comments! Only post if you are interested in buying or selling items on the boards. Random and/or useless posts should be reported to the moderators to be deleted.
One “bump” or “TTT” every 3 days. If you surpass this, the thread may be locked and/or removed.

Seller Suggestions:

Titles should also be clear and concise. The less confusing the title is, the easier it is for a potential buyer to find the item they are looking for.
Pictures are extremely helpful in selling items. The should be actual photos of the item you are selling, and not those from websites or ebay. If they are not your photos, they should not be on your listing.
Image hosting is free through LondonRC, by attaching the images to your post. Please utilize this feature, as it is convenient both for buyers and sellers. Once the sale is done, in would be beneficial to delete the image to conserve your attachment space.
If you do not have a digital camera, definitely try to borrow one, or take advantage of film processing with the “Photo CD” option. This extra option generally costs less than $4 per CD and is a simple way to get photos of the item you are selling.

Buyer Suggestions:

Always check a user’s feedback before dealing with them. You can check in the Trader Feedback forum using LondonRC’s Search feature. It is also suggested to ask for references. Check the user’s profile for their registration date. You may want to take extra precautions for newly registered users.
Buyers should let sellers know when they’ve made payment. Information such as when PayPal transactions were made, or when Money Orders have been mailed is useful.

Additional Notes:

To access the Trader Feedback forum, you are required to become a paying member of LondonRC. Membership is as little as $1 a month. More information can be found here.

Many thanks to RCTech for letting us use their rules.

If you disagree with a seller's posted asking price and feel the need to inquire about it or inform them of your opinion, PLEASE DO SO VIA PM!!!!!

You should NOT be posting on their threads saying the price is too high, etc...

just a friendly reminder, im sure not all of us have read the rules for the board, so i thought a thread with this title would be a friendly reminder...
Thanks for you cooperation with this!
