New members....buy and sell
Funny how some new folks who want into the buy and sell spam threads to hit 20-30 more posts as fast as they can to sell something....I assume that's what "raiderfan" is trying to accomplish
An introduction plus meaningful contributions goes a long way
Just sayin....

Unfortunately scammers will always find a way to get what they want. More laws don't make for less criminals…..

He might be looking at your join date and number of posts...you are likely a legit buyer but some scammers here were selling items they never possessed and some folks lost some cash, hence the new rules...and caution from members...

If there's a lack of communication it has everything to do with the seller and not the forum rules. If he's not replying to your PM's he'd likely not be replying to posts in the ad either.
Just sayin'
I've bought a handful of items from forum members over the past few years and all has gone well.

Not deleted or marked sold
There is a problem with members not checking their ads
Or putting sold on the item ....
They post it ,it sells and they forget about it .....Ads should have
A life span .....then auto magically off ....

The moderators have done a good job of disposing of the few morons that started their own thread, then posted 20 nonsense posts on that thread, as fast as they could post them, just to qualify for the buy&sell.

When I need to get rid of an ad I just report it and ask them to delete it, then ol Pixel doesn't have to sort through to find the 'marked' ones

Dooped!
Unfortunately, this happens all the time. When people get excited because they have finally found what they've been searching for and get dooped because they didn't do all of the due diligence... Happened to me a little while ago on here & to a guy that I ended up talking with for a while after the whole thing went down.. Learned a lesson and in the end it's only money.. The mods do a great job at watching and keeping things as safe as they can. But in the end it will always be up to us to watch out. I wounder how many Kijiji transactions this happens too? I know we hear about the scary ones from time to time, but I wonder about all the petty ones... Thanks again mods!

Been here a while, don't post or comment much but do enjoy most of what I read. I have bought a few items from here & have had good results with everyone I have dealt with, some of them a couple times. If someone that I was trying to make a purchase from was looking at my profile, it might raise a few flags. Just saying.

Original reason I joined here was for the buy and sell too...that was before the new rules. I likely might have done the same thing

Even when guys aren't out to rip someone off I still have to shake my head at the utter lack of common courtesy and respect sometimes. Case in point, I came off a midnight shift a few days ago and before hitting the sack I checked the EE, you never know what might pop up in them morning (keep telling my wife this too, she just don't listen). Anyways, a fellow had a couple boxes of ammo for sale locally. I replied immediately that I'd take it and could pick up at his convenience. After leaving the ad, I checked and saw that I was the first view of the ad. Right on!! Never heard a peep back, but noticed the next day he was selling some different ammo and mentioned the other stuff he had listed was sold. I PM'd again and politely asked if I was the lucky buyer, as I saw it had been sold and thought I was the first responder. Not accusing at all, and he can sell to whomever he pleases I guess, but a reply would have been nice although I didn't say this. No reply to that PM either. I've made note of the member and won't bother gracing him with future deals, nor do I plan on responding to any messages should they arrive.
I guess you expect if you treat others a certain way, then that's the way you'll be treated. For the most part it holds true, heck I've even been treated BETTER than I treat others and came away thinking I need to step up my game .
Funny you bring this up LC, now I'm going to be on the look-out while before I never even noticed, lol.

I've asked for a pic to be emailed to me with my username written on a piece of paper in it from new members before, one snapped it with his cell and was good to go, paid him ten minutes later, yet another sent me the same picture from the ad and said he'd take ten percent off if I paid in money order, sp that was just a no go for me.
