OblongShrimp Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Below are the Marketplace rules. These rules are subject to change at anytime and will change as the forum grows and develops. As in all online sales, LET THE BUYER BEWARE! The administrator and his moderators maintain no responsibility for any of the transactions that occur in the Marketplace, with the exception of transactions we participate in personally. Please remember that all sales must be done through the Marketplace or Sponsor section. Please remember to set a price in for your item(s.) Please post in the Marketplace only for yourself, and not someone else. Most sellers/buyers prefer to use paypal. Through paypal you have the option to send money for goods or as a gift. Please be aware when you send money through Paypal as a gift, you are giving up any rights to reclaim your money if a deal should not go as planned. Paypal will not allow you to file any sort of claim against a gift payment. Please don't link to your item running at an auction site. The marketplace was created for members to sell/buy from here. If you have a problem with your transaction and it is not resolved, members are able to alert the forum membership about their personal transactions by leaving feedback on the transaction. If you had great experiences with the seller/product you bought, members are able to write their praise by leaving feedback on the transaction. Please don't post ads for things that are illegal or offer to ship to other countries unless you are doing it correctly and have the necessary paperwork and licenses. Know the laws regarding import/export and make sure you are following them. Lastly, at this time there is no current minimum posts requirement for posting here or restrictions on commercial sellers. I just ask that you participate in the forum and help create an active community. Thank you for being part of our forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm sure this will expand and contract as we grow, but it's nice to have some guidelines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Could there be a way to have it set up where only members can see and or post in the marketplace? Its not a concern now, but once it starts becoming more popular I could see the getting some occasional spam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I think it is set up right now that only members can post so I am not sure why it would get spam if nonmembers could view the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 true. didn't think about the fact you need to be a member to post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShrimporium Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 What are the rules for "bumping" sale threads that still have unsold items? Allowed? If so, how often? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yes it is allowed for now just keep it reasonable. If anyone starts noticing it getting out of hand let me know and we can come up with some other rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Can I post my Sale/Trade ad from Planted Tank Forum here? Just took quite a bit of work to attach all of the images. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 You can upload them easier here than planted tank I believe. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 MUCH easier! AND there's a relist button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 You would need to re-upload your photos here, I don't want a for sale post that just has a link to plantedtank. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Sounds good, thats why I wanted to ask. Seems that it will be easier to post here regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp lady Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 can one (current member) place an Ad for a non-member as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Shrimp Lady, to avoid misrepresentation, we ask only for members to post ads. Thank you for asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
