There has been scams in the past (on other forums as well) were items have been put up for sale, payment has been sent and nothing has been received. The only way to try and stop this happening from the forum POV is to have people restricted from selling until they have 50 genuine posts. Scammers will find easier ways to make money instead of notching up posts on a forum, so it is useful.They are on other forums, has someone bought something dodgy once and now its not allowed? Just wondering out of interest!
ebay is really safe. not full of con artists or anything.
Babylon and ting.
So you think the only posts worth reading are ones where you get to sell your stuff? Welcome to the forum.
There's no mention of payment anywhere is there? I think that's quite clear.
As for the pathetic rule breaks: if you don't like the rules here then no one's forcing you to visit. :smt039
