Relaxation Of The Buy & Sell Rules For 18/12/2013 Onwards

[+Steve]

Dear Members

As of the 18th of December 2013 we would like to trial a new open for all buy and sale section on the club to help grow the the marketplace of the club. The open for all policy will only be open for used and new parts and accessories for private sales only (Members selling their used parts). Commercial traders will not be permited to post in this section.

We feel that having an open sale policy will encourage members to sell their used parts via the club (regardless of postcount or status) and the buyer will benefit from the desired part. So, over time this will result in members visiting the club more frequently checking for used parts and gives Kudos to the club platform. If members feel happy then the whole club is happy.

In future moderators will only moderate for commercial posts only.

A summary of the rules

• Only private sales from members selling used parts (parts from their garage)
• New parts can also be sold but must not sell more than one (unless a set) So for example if you have a set of new Wiper Blades for sale that do not fit your car then you can sell them here. If you have bought a consignment of cheap car horns from China in the hope to sell them here will not be allowed and will be removed. (this would be classed as commercial)
• Cars can be added for sale until we release a new version of the classifieds in the future.
• No Commercial Sales in this section. Traders contact steve@toyotaownersclub.com
• The part must be fully described properly along with a photo if possible.
• Buyers will buy at their own risk. The club takes no responsability in the transaction. We suggest paying via PayPal for your own protection.
• Sellers sell at their own risk. Precautions should taken by the seller to ensure that you get your payment via a proper payment gateway and that you are posting your items to a genuine buyer. Postage precautions should also be considered.
• The buy and sell section of the club is merely a platform for members to trade on and therefore the club and it's club staff will not be responsible for any wrong product description information posted or fraudulent sellers and buyers and that by trading on the club you do so entirely at your own risk.
• Abuse of the buyers and sellers section will result in access to this section being revoked. We hope you appreciate that this relaxtion of the rules is not abused and ruined for the enjoyment of everyone else.
• When you item is sold please mark the Item SOLD in your post.
• We also appreciate that members can look after each other, so if you suspect something dodgy going on that you will advise a fellow member.
