**TRANSACTION FEEDBACK RULES** updated 12/13/05

[JScullin]

IF YOU BOUGHT/SOLD FROM/TO SOMEONE:

• If the transaction was positive, please display a icon.
• If the transaction was negative, please display a icon.
• If the transaction was more of a pain than it should've been, please display a

These are found in the "Post Icons" section below the message pane when creating a thread. They will help clearly distinguish how the transaction went to other members.

Idealy, we would like to see a thread title to look as follows: Bought from JScullin

IF YOU ARE A BUYER OR SELLER AND NEED TO DISPUTE A TRANSACTION:

• Post only when you have made several attempts to contact the other party to try and resolve the issue.
• Buyers should post any quotes, photos, emails or IM's that clearly show why the seller is at fault.
• Sellers should not be sending out items without first recieving payment. Should your buyer have a dispute, you should show any evidence that would clearly prove you not at fault!

If a seller refuses to cooperate in resolving an issue (not responding to IM's, email's, phonecalls etc...) then the buyer has every right to file any chargeback's with a credit card company or PayPal. They can also file mail fraud charges against the seller, and that is a Federal crime punishable under law. The seller will have the title "Buyer Beware" under their names for a then to be determined amount of time; and, in severe cases, will be banned from the boards. In the event a seller ships an item and the buyer doesn't pay...well, there's not much you can do. They will have the title "Deadbeat Buyer" added as their title.

Transaction Feedback threads are only between the buyer & the seller. Any other posts will be deleted unless they directly pertain to helping said party resolve an issue (ie how to file a fraud claim or legal help).
