Requesting new posting rule

Chantz335i · 08-11-2015, 01:48 PM

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds

Asking Price:

None

Item Interest

Well, I just recently was involved in a scam on this forum from the member ReeferCheefer. I feel that this happens alot of this website. From my previous experience on many other auto forums, I feel like there is a small flaw in the classified system that does not give buyers the assurance that the seller is legitimate. To fix this, it is very simple.

IF YOU ARE SELLING A PRODUCT YOU MUST POST A PICTURE OF THE PRODUCT WITH A PIECE OF PAPER WITH YOUR USERNAME, THE DATE, AND THE NAME OF THE PRODUCT.

If you do not have this, tough luck, your posting will be deleted. This will bring some legitimacy to your post and help the buyer feel better about sending you money.

I feel like this step is completely necessary, especially on this forum, that seems to have such relaxed rules in regards to posting. I dont even know who my moderators are or else I would have sent this to them also, but, id also like to see the communities opinion on this rule.

IMHO, its kindve on the BUYER to check itrader rating, or ask if the person is on any other forums, or ebay. I offer up my ebay username to anyone who is interested in an item Im selling, and as soon as they see my 1200+ feedback on there, Im pretty much legit in their eyes. Be careful with who you give your hard earned money to, and if the deal seems too good to be true, it is!

I agree with the OP. Post a picture with a paper with your name on it. If you're posting pics anyway, might as well through that in there to prove that you indeed have the part in possession.

Agreed. It literally takes two seconds and only helps you out. And the people who say they are using old pics or its in storage is just an excuse. Your gonna have to go get the product when you sell it, and people want to see up-to-date photos anyway.
