Guideline: Items For Sale

Keeping with the structure of the English Forum, we ask that any items you
have to sell are posted in the correct forum area.

Trying to sell or give away a pet or animal? Then start your post
in the Pet Trading Post.

Whether the item you wish to sell is material, please start your
thread here.

If you are giving away material items, then this is the correct location
for your thread.

Homes, apartments or dwellings of any type belong here.

Have an open employment position to fill? Available to fill an open
position? Your posts are welcome here.

Lastly, all services, items or anything commercial should be posted here.

One more thing, most forum areas have so-called "Sticky:" threads. Please
take a minute to read the Sticky on how, what, why and when to post in
that forum area.

Good luck with your sell!

Re: Items For Sale

Recently there have been more threads with advertisements in inappropriate areas than usual. Please consider if your thread belongs to the Marketplace section.

Re: Guideline: Items For Sale

hi,


Most of these guidelines are appropriate and useful, I would leave it there with the no-phone number rule though.


- It makes it possible for the poster to determine who most probably is a quality prospective buyer, since people that call upon an ad being posted are usually that kind of people - and whereas you always have to sort out PMs sent with no name and phone number to determine who might possibly be a quality buyer too.


For good or bad reasons, I have to say that I feel close to irritated each time I get a PM or email with no phone or physical contact details


- As far as privacy problems are concerned : it just takes going to whitepages.ch to get people's phone number. Bad guys won't start browsing englishforum.ch to get people's phone numbers. On top of that, the 'EDIT' option makes it possible for posters to remove their phone number once they think it no longer is useful


One of the big problems with email & things is people can take the time of whoever they want while leaving no phone contact or other track.


Regards
