FishLore Classifieds (buy, sell, trade, swap) Rules

Please be sure to read before posting here, and do not try to bypass the 50 post limit by using other sections of the forum or visitor messages. B/S/T should only happen in this section and in PM (both of which require 50 posts or more to use).

1.* Use this classified section (buy, sell, trade, swap) at your own risk.* This section of FishLore.com is merely the meeting place of buyers, sellers and traders. FishLore does not endorse any of the suppliers or traders in this classified section. By using this classified section, you acknowledge that FishLore.com can not be held responsible for any problems or issues between buyers, sellers and traders.* FishLore.com will not get involved in any way in disputes between parties.

2.* To prevent problems between parties in any transaction, please use a third party payment system such as PayPal to pay for your items.* Do not give out your credit card or debit card numbers to anyone!

3.* If you are under 18 years of age, you must have Parental permission to use this section.* Check with your parents or guardians before giving out ANY personal information such as your name, telephone numbers, home addresses, email addresses etc.

4.* For the more expensive items, it is recommended that Buyers and Sellers use a service such as Escrow.com. Here's how it works:
* * - The buyer pays escrow.com.
* * - Escrow.com notifies the seller that payment has been received.
* * - The seller sends product to buyer.
* * - Buyer receives the product and if it is satisfactory, they inform Escrow.com.
* * - Escrow.com releases payment to the seller.
* * - Escrow.com does charge a fee for the service.

5. This classified (buy, sell, trade, swap) section is intended for the use of FishLore.com forum members and not to be used by commercial enterprises.* If you have a commercial enterprise and want to advertise your goods or services please contact* support@fishlore.com for advertising opportunities.

6. Moderators will remove any posts that violate these rules and/or any posts that they feel are inappropriate.
*
7. Include the location of the item in the post title if needed. (for example, 100 Gallon Tank for sale - Chicago, IL) This will help those searching for local items.

8. Fish, aquarium and pet related items only!

9. For buying, selling or trading your fish, aquarium or pet related items. This Buy/Sell/Trade board is for active members only. Members must have more than 50 posts to make a thread in this section. This is to help limit SPAM and members just signing up to sell stuff. The BST forum is for FishLore members to buy/sell/trade with each other. It is NOT a sales channel for your business, unless you set something up where FishLore members exclusively get some kind of benefit from the deal. Contact a moderator before posting if you are unsure of the rules to get their approval.

10. Buyers and sellers are responsible for knowing applicable state and national laws. Fishlore is not responsible for any repercussion resulting from sale/purchase/shipment of restricted animals.

Bumping this. Please be sure to read before posting here, and do not try to bypass the 50 post limit by using other sections of the forum or visitor messages. B/S/T should only happen in this section and in PM (both of which require 50 posts or more to use).

Some more generic rules about B/S/T are at the end of Fishlore's Forum Rules

One particular addition of note is that B/S/T is not for posting links to outside of Fishlore. This means that, if you're selling an item on your own website, Aquabid, eBay, Craigslist, or whatever, it doesn't belong here.

Bump. Remember that this section is for active members with 50 or more posts. We take both portions of that requirement seriously. If your sole reason for being on Fishlore is to sell fish, go to Aquabid or Craigslist. This area is for members to benefit from other members.

May I also add that the 50 post rule works both ways.
Meaning BOTH parties must be active and have at least 50 posts.

Thank you!

Lucy

Looks like this needs a bumpity bump.

For clarification the b/s/t rules also includes freebies.

Thanks!
