** sales rules **

[ADMIN]

This is a reminder for everyone of Club-vaux's rules on selling.
We will be keeping a closer eye on the for sale section, and admin / mods will be removing any threads that dont comply with the rules.

So please read the rules and amend any threads before they are removed.

BUYING & SELLING
We want you to enjoy buying and selling your unwanted stuff on Club-Vaux, but remember the golden rule: "Buyer Beware!" Car forums all over the internet are full of members who have been scammed by the most unlikliest of scammers, so excercise some basic caution, even if it is someone you have dealt with before or someone who has been on the forum for a while.

Club-Vaux will not be held responsible if things go wrong, it's up to the buyer and the seller to make a deal both parties are happy with. Always get a land-line telephone number, cell phone number and the address of the seller or buyer so you have some contact details should things not go as planned. Selling ON BEHALF OF is not permitted, If you dont own the item or have it in your posession then you may not sell it on club-vaux.

If you want to sell your stuff in our community, we want to get to know you first. Therefore EVERY member posting ANY items FOR SALE must have a minimum of 50 posts AND you must have been a member for over 30 days. Posts just containing "hello" "me too", "lol", etc., or posts considered to be spam just to get your post count up to the target 50 times, WILL NOT COUNT. Whilst we cannot protect anyone from a scam we have some straightforward rules regarding buying and selling. If these rules aren't adhered to, we reserve the right to delete your advert.

All items for sale must be by a member eligible to sell, the listing MUST include a photo of the item(s) for sale & a PRICE must be stated. If these requirements are not met your listing WILL be removed by a member of staff, If you continue to post out side of the rules we will remove your right to sell on club-vaux.

SELLING: As a seller, you have a duty to ensure your advert is as accurate as possible. if you're selling a part "as new", then don't expect something covered in rust, dents, scratches and in a tatty box, to be accepted "as new". Be precise when you create your advert and state whether postage is included. Include a picture of the item with your username on a piece of paper together with the date. This will give some proof that you do indeed have the item to sell in the first place.

BUYING: It is the buyers responsibility to ask as many questions as you need to in order to satisfy yourself regarding the suitability and condition of a for sale item that you wish to purchase.

A typical "bad" advert might run like this:
FOR SALE: "Facelift Vectra headlights £100.00 No pics at the moment but you all know what they look like lol"
Typical questions: Are they scratched / cracked /damaged? Will they fit your car? Does it include the wiring loom plugs? Does it include the bulbs? If so how many bulbs are included? Do the bulbs work? Does that include postage? is the postage tracked / recorded / signature? Method of payment required?

As you can see, there is more to one simple transaction than just saying "They're nice, I'll have them!" Check it out THOROUGHLY, BEFORE you part with your money. Club-Vaux will not be held responsible if you get scammed so take every precaution you can like getting a landline telephone number and address from the seller. If possible arrange to meet face to face to conclude the deal.

Note:
If you're not sure about getting a photo of your item onto the forum, ask how to do it! Admin, Mods and most members have already done this, so we'll help you out, but we won't know if you need help unless you ask, so holler when needed!
