Abuse of "Collector to Collector Classified" Section

[RobSteinmetz]

Hi Everyone.

We had a user post an item today for well above the $500 limit. His post was deleted, and he was sent an email reminder about the forum rules. This user then reposted the same item, asking members to email him for a price. That post was also deleted. He then relisted the item with a $500 price, and sent this reponse to one of our members via private email:

...I must mention that $500 is not the true price of the jersey. I had to put $500 to keep within forum rules. I am asking $950 or best offer...

As a result, this member has been suspended for 30 days. Guys, please don't abuse this forum, or attempt to creatively circumvent the rules. If you don't want to abide by the rules, list your items on eBay or elsewhere. Needless to say, future problems like this will result in suspensions a lot longer than 30 days.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Best,

Rob Steinmetz

He had to try. It would have cost $0.35 to list that $950 item on eBay.

Trust me, the eBay side deal is still alive and well. I'm sure we've all seen those Item Is No Longer Available, Mistake In The Listing, etc. sudden endings.

and paypal fees..............

There are Paypal fees whether you buy off eBay or buy off GUF. And really, it makes much more sense to pay with Paypal rather than money order.

I think this is fair. Thanks again for offering the Classified section to us!

I prefer a good ole fashion check. Seller gets all their money, I get my item. Both sides happy. Have not had any complaints writing checks.
