only premium members able to sell stuff

[vts-yes]

Then we wont have people keep paying for things and then never turning up. I mean membership is only £15.

[Scottp]

it wont stop it, plenty of premium members have "ripped" people off all ready. Although we hold details on address etc... we cant do anything with it unless legal are involved

[vts-yes]

yes i kno, due to data protection u can give out info but people arent really going to pa ythe £15 to join to knock someone. Will never be able to stop it but maybe cut it down.

[lynch145]

someone will still be willing to pay 15 quid for the sake of £100 - £200 even more though imo, its a tough one, i would only buy of someone with feed back anyway and if its too faraway to collect i wont buy it simple

[vts-yes]

good point lynch.

easy way to resolve this tbh is to ban the posting of items and state members have to meet half way to collect, at least that way if the other member doesnt turn up all you've wasted is your petrol money and not loads of cash

i have met a few people of here for stuff and not had a problem yet (touch wood)

i make sure i get a mobile number and ring the person before i leave

yep i personally think this is the best way, only other option would be to insist that everybody uses paypal.. its unfair because people on here send their hard earned monies and there are some twats who fuck people over which then leaves a sour taste in the buyers mouth not to trust anyone from here again,

Also must be a pain for the Mod's as im sure they get complaints about this all the time but as above their hands really are tied

[therigmakerp]

if a lot of this fuckery is going on then wouldnt it be an idia to send the cash to a well respected and trustwerthy member on sax to hold the cash, cheque or what ever, the seller then sends the goods to the buyer, if all is good the cash gets sent on to the seller.

charge abit more put it buy it now on ebay, then sell it?

use paypal?

meet the people

bought two things off here now, R rims which i collected, and wiper which was sent, both ok, and obvs the cit sport badges of willsy which were good too

no bad experience for me so far

As long as you don't arrange to meet halfway accross the country. Get there and they don't show! lol.

Like as said, you can never stop scams. Even on ebay etc.

[Mrk1]

Surely its just best to trade with a trusted/established member. As long as everything is sorted properly then it should be no problem, some people are too quick to jump to conclusions because the post was late. If people want to abuse the system they will regardless of their position (as member).

[AdamH]

50 posts is to small i feel, but then that is a totally different debate, on any forum where money can be exhanged for items you will get pikeys out for a quick buck.

as stated above, without legal protection theirs nothing the admins can do other then ban the user etc, then again sometimes the user at fault could of have a family problem or crashed etc so its not easy,

even then, their will be someone who will leave bad rep claiming they didnt receive an item / didnt send the item etc

cant win

[Davidp]

To be fair, you'll never stop people 'ripping people off' no matter what sax-p does.
It might just be me, but I don't think many people have been ripped off...?

[Jackman]

Don't think this is a good idea at all.

Why should members like myself suffer because of a few idiots.

Not all Non-Premium member are bad and not all Premium members are perfect.
