I decided to come up with a list of general rules for buyers and sellers on forums who like to trade. I should get into more detail on some things, but they are pretty well said. If you disagree with anything let me know.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *Official* Un-official Rules to Forum Trading
*The Sellers Rules*
1.) The item must work, if not said so.
2.) You must show pictures of the item your selling so theres no problems later.
3.) If the item malfunctions or it is the incorrect item; It must be replaced immediatley by the seller.
4.) Ship the day or next day of purchase. If not able, let the buyer know.
5.) No backing out of a deal or changing things up after an item is shipped or bought unless buyer agrees on it.
6.) Use delivery confirmation if using USPS, and give them the number.
7.) Do not edit your topic's item description once its sold.
8.) Do not expect much if you dont have feedback.
9.) Do not accept checks. Use paypal or MO's to eliminate problems.
10.) Show your feedback, and ways to contact you (AIM and email).
*The Buyer Rules*
1.) Follow the seller's rules or dont buy the item.
2.) Ask lots of questions, make sure you know what your getting.
3.) You pay shipping unless they say "shipped" or you offer a shipped price.
4.) No backing out of a deal or changing things up after an item is shipped or bought unless seller agrees on it.
5.) Do not expect much if you dont have feedback.
6.) Show your feedback, and ways to contact you (AIM and email).
7.) If something is wrong, make sure you contact the seller asap so the problem can be corrected.
8.) If the seller says no, accept it and move on.
9.) Do not lowball. Research before you offer on an item.
