We created this forum to bring buyers and sellers together. However, without stringent guidelines, there bound to be some confusion and frustration. Therefore, below guidelines will be used to moderate this forum. Moderators and admins will be watching this section carefully, and on a regular basis.

Guideline #1: Everyone

Treat others as you want to be treated. If you are selling a something, then make sure you deliver in a reasonable time frame and keep in contact with the buyers so they know when to expect the item. As a buyer, pay in a reasonable time frame. Nothing is more frustrating to a seller than someone committing to buy and not paying for it when payment is due. Also, as a buyer you owe it to the seller to let them know if your finances have changed and you can not complete the transaction.

Guideline #2: Everyone

We do not tolerate merchants selling their own products in this forum. We also do not condone referral links to any merchants as well. Anyone violating this rule will be banned.

Guideline #3: Buyers - Caveat Emptor

Buyer beware. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. So, ask clarifying questions.

• Ask for pictures
• Ask for more contact information (i.e phone number)
• Ask for more descriptions
• Ask others for feedbacks
• etc...

Check user's iTrader to see their feedbacks and make a sound decision. If you still are leery of the seller, just move on do not buy!

Guideline #4: Everyone

You can use two thread fixes either [WTS] or [WTB]. WTS = Want to buy WTB = Want to sell

Guideline #5: Sellers - Disclose other sales

If you are selling the same item on Ebay, Craigslist or whereever, let people know. You don't need to post a link to the thread, but at least disclose where you are selling.

Guideline #6: Sellers - Post the type of sale it is

Is it a firm price or make an offer? Please make sure to clarify what type of sale your item(s) will be.

Guideline #7: Sellers - Payments

Specify types of payments you accept, and the time frame you expect to get paid in. For example "I accept PayPal, Moneybookers, and eGold. Payment must be made at the time specified (or something similar)". Also, it is advisable to add what will happen if payment is not made in that time frame "If payment is not received within agreed time, negative iTrader feedback will be left and item will be re-listed"

Guideline #8: Everyone - iTrader

Use it. That's what it's there for. If you have a bad experience, let people know. This is not eBay, you are not doing anyone a favor by hiding your experience. If you are worried about retaliatory feedback, don't be. Whenever someone submits a negative feedback all the mods are notified. So, if you submit a legitimate neg feed back and the other party retaliates and negs you for no reason, we can correct it (if the situation warrants, of course).

Guideline #9: Sellers - New Members

While it is not a rule (yet) that you can not sign up and start selling right away, expect to get a lot of flack for it. People here want to do business with trusted members of the community. To become a trusted member, you need to participate in threads outside of this section. Create threads with useful information, and generally prove you are someone that people want to give their hard earned money to.

If it is suspected that you are just a scammer / spammer, you will be banned without warning and will NOT be unbanned.

Guideline #10: Sellers - PM Spam

Don't do it. If you are selling a product / service and you decide to use the Private Message system as you own personal advertising service, you will be banned forever, no questions, no warnings.

Guideline #11: Sellers - Bumping Threads

Bumps are annoying and rude. "Bump, bump, bump" or "bumpity bump" or even just "bump" should be avoided. If you have a product for sale and people are not responding, do not just bump your thread to the top. If people are interested, they will do it for you by responding to your thread.


If the above guidelines are followed, buyers and sellers will have a better experience in the market section of our forums. If you suspect abuse and we do not catch it, please do not hesitate to contact us!
