PLEASE READ: NEW SECURITY MEASURES FOR THE SALES SECTIONS.

DLT222

Gentleman,

In the light of recent events of a few members being scammed we have decided to introduce a few measures for ALL of the sales forum Sections. A few of you have discovered that you cannot post in the sales section like you used to be able to.

While we want to keep the forum as open as possible we have to introduce these measures to safe guard our community from these scammers.

The new conditions are:

• Minimum post count of 200 posts is now required to post in ANY of the sales forums.
• A Link to 2 recent feedback on sales or purchases when listing a watch, part of WTB thread should you have feedback. (Dealers Exempt)
• Keep all communication to PM in respect to a deal rather than email. You can of course openly discuss the item in question publicly.
• Payment through PayPal is recommended & which must be a verified account (with the exception of respected dealers where a bank transfer can be done) the two parties will have to agree of the fee's. REMEMBER Gift payments cannot be recalled once sent!

While we understand these measures might frustrate a few members they are for the overall good of the forum and are in place to protect not just us all, but the reputation and integrity of this great forum.

If you have any concerns or a dispute about previous dealings and description accuracy, promises, shipping, etc that can be brought up in the seller feedback section. Please do not post this in the regular forums.

If you need to reach out to any forum moderator please feel free to do so with any questions you might have. If you feel you have listed items and you can no longer see these listings and have feedback to which we can manually add you to these forums please let us know, the feedback has to be from THIS FORUM with FORUM MEMBERS. We will look at your feedback and decide appropriately. This is for under 200 posts.

Thank you for reading and understanding.

While I sympathize with your intent, the Mods are not and will not be sales police for forum sellers. If their are issues of misrepresentation that are brought to our private attention (not in someones sales post) we will examine the problem. If you have issues of value it is up to you to seek out information needed to make an informed decision. You are welcome to make inquiries to knowledgeable members via PM, who may be willing to advise you, there are many. All staff are willing to be consulted on sales outside of the forum, as long as the member does not over use the courtesy. In some cases a Mod may be willing to give a private opinion on a forum watch, I for one will not make a judgement on member's sale items public or private unless there are major issues.

Oh damn, I meant bandaging, I want to be a first aider when I grow up . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . andwhyusesuchalongincomprehensiblewordwhenashortonewillusuallydoaswell?

I can't even reply to my own sales thread though...

And I can't reply to other people's sales threads to ask questions

200 posts seems high as do the other criteria. I am not looking to scam anyone and have bought watches through here & WUS but this will probably prevent me from selling here unless I want to just reply to 130 more posts "Booya!", "You go girl!", "High 5" and other meaningless participation.

Certainly agree with these measures. My problem is that I have never sold a watch before online or otherwise (lots of eBay purchases and a few sales) so how can I ever comply with point 2 (references) if I want to sell my Omega on this forum, which would be the obvious forum for selling an Omega watch? Is this a Catch 22?
