Caveat Emptor: "Let the buyer beware."
- In the instance that we are contacted about any member here being a "bad trader" or a "scammer," we reserve the right to turn any personal information and all IP we have on that member over to any law enforcement authorities and/or any other group or individuals we desire. If we think you are a troll or a scammer, we reserve the right to turn over any and all personal information we have on you. If you do not agree with this rule, do not trade on our forums.
- You must post a price unless the item is purely for trade.
- No sales of coupons or any other freely distributed items such as free beta keys, discount codes, or anything else obtained free from a public source, etc.
- There is no linking to other sites except for image hosting. You can host images on our site by dragging and dropping your pictures into our editor.
- Payment types are fully up to the seller and the buyer.
- Always use delivery confirmation, and always keep the proof that you shipped.
- Always ask for a real name, home address, and telephone or mobile number. Verify it with a call or a search in the white pages.
- If the seller is suspicious, please search for information about him or contact a moderator. If a deal sounds too good to be true, chances are that it is.
- Don’t jump to conclusions. PM the seller if you have problems. If you have their phone number, give them a call.
- No matter what, get a name, address, and phone number, and then confirm the information by calling the telephone or mobile number and checking if it is actually them.
- Don't ship first without getting good references. You can get your money back through different means if your money is taken, but you are SOL if you ship before receiving payment.
- Keep a record of all conversations with the person pertaining to the trade. It provides backup when dealing with the police.
- Be wary of anyone with a recent forum registration date. Post count means little; the date of registration does.
- If a deal seems too good to be true, chances are that it is. So be wary.
- If you have a problem with a buyer or seller and believe them to be a troll, do not post a thread or comment about said user unless you have proof that the person is indeed a troll. Posting a suspicion without proper backup only makes you look bad on the forum.
- Claiming someone is a troll because they are selling something "too good to be true" or for any other suspicious reason is not allowed.
- When "outing" a troll, you must provide proof that the troll did indeed rip you off. This means that you started a trade, either with money or merchandise, and you did not receive the item promised. Hearsay or rumor are not grounds for crying troll on this forum.
- In lots of cases, items are sent out, but maybe not as quickly as hoped. Give the trade sufficient time to pan out before claiming someone is a troll. I suggest at least waiting 2-4 weeks before even thinking about claiming someone as a troll.
- The key here is to remember that everyone is innocent until proven guilty!
