SWAP/SELL DISCLAIMER

[winofairy]

******** ATTENTION ALL SWAP/SELL SHOP USERS ********

Please read through the rules below and make sure that you adhere to them. We hope that these rules and guidelines will help to stream line the functionality of the Swap/Sell Shop to make it more beneficial and useful for all of those that use it.

Don't shoot the messenger!

****************************************************

Users of the Swap/Sell Shop should understand that they do so AT THEIR OWN RISK. GBCN/GBCB does not control the information provided by members which is made available through the forums on the ProBoards website.

Both parties must understand and agree to complete the transaction and should do so as quickly as possible.

Seller should use their best efforts to describe the parts or products and Buyer should complete their portion of the transaction and make payment when payment is due.

GBCN/GBCB, the Forum Administration and Moderators are in NO way responsible for any portion of these transactions and cannot be held in any way liable for any loss incurred by either party in the transaction. Furthermore, participation in the Swap/Sell Shop and this forum serves as acceptance of these rules and regulations. Any incidence of disregard for these rules and guidelines can result in the loss of forum privileges.

IN SHORT...If you sell or buy something from a fellow forum member, follow through with the sale! Sellers, these members are willing to send their hard-earned money for your goods. Don't stiff them. Buyers, if you agree to pay, then pay. Bottom line.

NOTE: Repeated violation of rules after warning from Moderators may result in temporary or permanent banning.

READ: ProBoards Website Terms of Service:www.proboards.com/tos.

MANDATORY price and location: If you want to sell/swap, you will be required to list your selling price or your terms-of-trade in your original post. Also, make it known where you are located, how far you will travel to make the deal, and how someone can get in touch with you. No testing the waters post, if you post it then it has to be for sell or swap.

Wait period for bumping/re-posting topics: It will be allowed to bump or re-post a thread after one month. If your swap/sell shop thread was originally posted on May 11th, you may re-post it again on or after June 11th. If you wait until June 15th to bump it, it will not be eligible to be bumped again until July 15th. It matters not how many days are in any given month, it only matters that it be the same day of the following month or later.

No duplicate threads: Do not start another thread if one already exists for that item. The only exception to this would be the one month bump(see above). Editing or deleting threads in the Swap/Sell Shop to circumvent bumping or duplicate thread rules is not allowed and will be removed.

No auction or other links instead of listing info for items: Seller will list info on item, price, and location as per the rules or thread will be deleted. It is not acceptable to simply post a link for the item from EBay, Craigslist, or any other source as opposed to posting the info in the thread.

No firearms: The sale or trade of firearms in the Swap/Sell Shop is prohibited. Again, any topics or replies pertaining to the sale/trade of a firearm will be removed immediately.

Sellers must post when items have been sold: All Sellers must post when the item(s) that they are selling have been sold. This will help prevent old posts from reappearing after items are sold.

No second party sales: Second party sales are not permitted in the Swap/Sell Shop. Second party sales are those where people say that their cousin, brother, aunt, uncle, co-worker, etc. has a item/items for sale. If you do not own the item, do not post it for sale.

No commercial selling: Moderators are to delete any post with commercial selling immediately. A pm will be sent to the poster with a warning. If the member does not comply with the rules then they will lose their ability to post in the forum.

It is STRONGLY advised to use a payment provider such as Pay-pal for any transactions that take place between members as a result of using the forums. GBCN/GBCB accepts NO liability for any disputes that arise from transactions undertaken between members.

In the event that you have any right, claim or action against any other user arising from use of the GBCN/GBCB forums, you agree to pursue such right, claim or action INDEPENDENTLY of and without recourse to ProBoards, GBCN/GBCB, the Forum Administration and Moderators. As they are in NO way responsible for any portion of these transactions, claims, liability, damages, losses, costs, and any expenses arising from or in any way connected with such right, claim or actions.

PayPal works hard to make transactions within it's community safe. If you are unable to resolve a dispute with a seller, you may file a claim that a PayPal investigating agent will review. Please visit www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/buyer-complaint-outside for more details.

If you truly suspect internet fraud please visit the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov which gives details on how to report a claim or attend your local police station to report an allegation.
