Yeah name and shame!

Member called Gordon, 5 star member, bought set of original
GTI rear lights and now he's ignoring all mail. A few days after he gave what a thought was a genuine reason why he hadn't sent them,  so I said fine but it's been weeks and no replies etc so basically been scammed.

Sometimes making it public will help get things sorted, some people are genuine and things go wrong. If he is genuine he'll want this sorted now it's been made public.

Groan. Would it be better to not have a classifieds section? 

Have pm'd the seller, the account has been online today.

[archie837]

NO.

And please don't go the edition route of having to have 200 posts before being able to sell or buy stuff.

[bigmarky]

Don't think it's needed to have a million posts to advertise etc but maybe that's why they do it??? Simply a rules that after you have proved urself a regular you can sell then if you rip other members off your account will be terminated. I don't mean to involve the admin or moderators into squabbles just if people don't supply at all therefore stealing money they are banned

i think it would be easier to have an advice, terms and conditions page that every person must accept before being allowed to purchase stuff in the classifieds section. If they don't agree to the terms then they're not allowed to access the classifieds. That way you can make them read the warnings and give them the advice they need before they decide to go and get ripped off anyway. Then the admins can just delete posts like these cause

been sugested millions of times.more hassel than its worth....

When you got your new Computer/Iphone/whatever, did you read the terms and conditions, or did you just go right to the bottom and click 'agree'. !?
