For Sale Forum Rules

[alnielsen]

- BY USING THIS FREE SERVICE YOU RECOGNIZE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EVOLVCHICAGO.ORG CAN IN NO WAY BE HELD LIABLE FOR THE ACCURACY OF STATEMENTS MADE BY USERS OF THE SERVICE, OR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM TRANSACTIONS MADE BY USERS OF THE SERVICE.

- No Dealers in the classified sections. A dealer is defined as anyone who is selling more than 2 of the same product, or who repeatedly has items for sale.

******************************************************************************************************************

===> BUYER BEWARE!!! BUYER BEWARE!!! BUYER BEWARE!!! <===


- If possible try to make the deal in person.

- If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

- It is HIGH RECOMMENDED that you use an escrow service, such as https://www.escrow.com/ or http://www.safefunds.com/ to handle money.

- If you're using Paypal, only accept money from verified buyers. If you're selling, accept from verified sellers. You have been warned.

- If you decide to conduct the transaction over the internet, try to cover yourself. Keep track of ALL correspondence! If you have any doubts, try using an escrow service for anything that costs more than $100 and is being shipped.

- Buyers MUST keep a record of their payment; whether it's a copy of a money order or a paypal email (save the original email along with all of it's headers). Make sure it has the seller's name on it.

- Sellers MUST USE a traceable method of shipment and remember to write the buyer's address on it. This usually only costs a few bucks extra. If you get ripped off, it is recommended that you retain an attorney, contact your local law enforcement agencies, and contact the FBI Internet Fraud Complaint Center here http://www.ic3.gov/ .

- EVOLV-Chicago has no obligation to help you arbitrate an issue or dispute with someone selling items via the Classifieds section. If you have problems, it will be up to you to work them out with the seller.

******************************************************************************************************************

- EVOLV-Chicago is not a general classified ad site; please do not post for sale ads for your cat, your apartment for sublease, or your used furniture, etc. These types of ads will be removed. This forum is ONLY for the sale of Mazda RX and rotary powered vehicles, parts, or things that could be used with the vehicle.

- No "How much is this car worth?" type threads. To determine this, do a basic scan on Autotrader.com, Ebaymotors.com, etc. to figure out what the average price is for a given car. Threads posted here asking our members to estimate the value of your car will be deleted.

- No selling stuff on behalf of other people. If they can't sell it themselves that's their own problem. Don't make it yours.

- No thread crapping. If you think something is over priced the seller will usually figure this out pretty quickly. You can also PM the seller and offer your opinion.

- No thread hijacking (when someone posts a FS/WTB/FT thread and you post 'me too!')

- All items MUST have an asking price.

- All FS/FT/WTB threads MUST list where you are located in the heading of the thread by either City/State or ZIP code.

- This is not an auction site. DO NOT DIRECTLY LINK YOUR PRODUCT TO EBAY. Threads doing this may be removed.

- Try to make your buy/sell/trade post subject look something like this:
> Indicate if the item is FS/FT/WTB (ForSale/ForTrade/WantToBuy)
> Describe the product
> State the price (With currency, if it's a FS ad)
> State the location of the item
> State if you are willing to ship
> Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words

- Try to keep the number of NEW threads to a minimum per member (if you have 5 different things to sell at once don't put post 5 different threads).

- No excessive thread bumping, a bump every 2 or 3 days is fine.

- Please don't bother the site owner/moderators with things that aren't from this board. If you meet someone and they sell you something extra that's your problem.

- Remember moderator(s) don't get paid a cent for policing this, so keep that in mind when you complain to the administrator(s)/moderator(s)!

- No

- If you are found to be ripping anyone off you will be put on the 'Good Guy/Bad Guy' section by the buyer and will be banned.

- Remember to always leave a feedback after a transaction in the 'Good Guy/Bad Guy' forum

- If you sell your item(s) please notify others by posting an update.
