DSM Forums - FAQ
Rule number 8:
"This is a Private Party service only. For Sale, Trade, or Wanted to Buy (WTB) type ads only. New Members are not able to post ads in our Classifieds. For more info on how to change your New Member status so that you can post Classified ads, read up on membership status. By using our Classifieds system, you agree to the following rules and policies:
If you do not have access to post in our Classifieds, you are not to have someone else post for you, nor are you to post something for another member who does not have access.
List your ad once. Do not relist the same ad multiple times - this is a bannable offense. Do not list your email address in your ad.
Do not post Classified Ads in the forums. They will be removed and you'll risk account suspension.
No Group Buy posts or commercial advertisements in this forum or any of the other forums, period (vendors must contact us for special privileges). This is a private party classifieds forum for individuals, not shops to sell their personal items. Vendors/shops should also refrain from promoting their products in the WTB (Wanted to Buy) category. Vendors should not use this section as an opportunity to market their products to our members.
"Vendor" is defined as: anyone who sells parts for a profit on an ongoing basis. If you're buying and selling parts or cars for profit, you are a vendor. If we determine you are a vendor, and are posting your parts for sale in our Classifieds forum, we will restrict your access on our site.
Transactions are your responsibility, not that of DSMtuners. We will not be liable for any losses as a result of your transaction, nor will we assist in tracking down a fraudulent party, nor will we ban a user at your request. Do not contact us asking us to help you resolve an issue with a buyer or seller. We recommend that you use an escrow service like Escrow.com to help prevent a fraudulent transaction and do as much research on the Buyer/Seller as possible. Resolve all transaction issues outside of our forums. And follow all of the advice given here when buying or selling things online: Tips for buying/selling online
No complaints should be posted about buyers and sellers in the classifieds section or anywhere else on our site. You are to use the Buyer/Seller Rating feature in the User Profile area, or use Vendors-Reviewed.com if you have a complaint about an individual. Anyone who buys or sells parts online takes a risk. We've done all we can to give you tips on how to minimize that risk. Our forums are not the place to try and point out frauds or publicly resolve a transaction. If you follow the suggestions in the link above, you should be okay. Use the Buyer/Seller Rating feature and handle the rest offline with the authorities and lawyers. Do not post "watch out for this person" threads in our forums. From time to time we'll go through the Buyer/Seller Ratings ourselves and will look for trends. If we find too many negative ratings for a particular member we may choose to ban them in the interest of keeping our community safer. We'll take care of it on our own though.
If you've posted an ad, and the parts have been sold, please use the "SOLD IT" feature in your ad.
Most transactions will likely turn out fine, but protect yourself and don't be naive. There are some people out there trying to make a quick buck by ripping people off. Take every precaution possible when doing business with other people online. If you experience any errors with the Classifieds system, you can post about it in the Site Feedback Forum."
