***FOR SALE SECTION WARNING***


Recommended Posts

There have been some bad deals been going down here lately on BansheeHQ. The main issue seems to be that sellers are not advertising their parts correctly. I have put together a list of things to look at for both the buyers and sellers.

Buyers

1. Get pictures of the parts.

2. Get pictures of the parts packaged up.

3. Get detailed descriptions of the condition of the parts.

4. Only use a Money Order to buy parts.

5. DO NOT send large amounts of money for parts.

6. Check feedback for sellers.

7. If something seems weird, it is probably best to walk away from the deal.

8. Buy insurance for expensive items.

 

Sellers

1. Accurately describe your parts.

2. If you're unsure of the size and condition of a motor, you had better find someone who can identify it before you post it up.

3. Send pictures of the parts.

4. Send pictures of the parts once packaged.

5. Provide a tracking number.

6. Offer insurance to the buyer.

 

These are just a few things to keep in mind when using the For Sale section. BansheeHQ is in no way responsible for any deals gone bad. I always try to remedy them to the best of my ability. I do not want bad sellers on BansheeHQ. If I find that a seller has acted inappropriately or sends an item that was not described correctly, I may find it necessary to ban them.

 

Everyone needs to use common sense when using the For Sale section. Don't be stupid. Use your head.

good post for sure! What doesn't help is when a reputable member goes and gives GOOD feedback about Items they have purchased but yet to receive. So maybe we can cross the good feedback thing of this list because It didn't help my dealings with you know who!

the reason i say use a money order is just for security for me. lets say you had to involve the law in something. it seems to me that itd be easier to have proof of payment by having the receipt for the money order and because they have to deposit it in their account. i know that paypal gives you a receipt and all that but sometimes i feel like transactions over the internet arent viewed as legit.

i just want to make it clear that i dont care how you guys do business, other than honestly. you can pay and sell things how you want, just remember its your name on the line. im just trying to give a few things i feel would help the transaction. i still say for large money purchases to use a builder. everyone always spends a dollar to save a a quarter.

Payapl is the same thing as using a credit card and is legally binding. I can't stand waiting 2-3 extra days to receive payment or parts. Plus you can file a dispute with paypal and that usually persuades a dog shit seller to make things right.

 

 

I think that only works if you buy on ebay. For a private deal they will do nothing.

I thought Paypal was the way to go. Use paypal and use your credit card to pay it. That way you have two ways to file a dispute. Always make a note on the payment about what you are buying. Makes a decent trail to follow.
