Products For Sale Post Rules - Please READ Before Posting - YorkieTalk.com Forums

admin · 08-26-2005, 09:25 PM

Here are the Products For Sale Post Rules:

Posting for sale items in other forums is strictly prohibited. Posting non-Yorkie related items in the Yorkie Products For Sale or Wanted forum is strictly prohibited. Please note we can not allow sales of counterfeit goods, fake goods, or replica goods for liability reasons and for your own safety.

1. YorkieTalk Donating members (those who have donated $25 or more) can post two Product For Sale threads per week. The two weekly threads may not be for the same exact item(s) if you wish to post two threads for the week.

The week runs from Sunday to Saturday and is based on Pacific Standard Time or Pacific Daylight Time (the time it is in California). If you post a new thread on Tuesday, you may next post a new thread starting the next Sunday. If you post a new thread on Saturday, you may next post a new thread the next day, Sunday.

We do not allow links to commercial sites (a site that is selling any products or services) in signatures unless you are a Donating Member who has donated $25 or more. To advertise your store or have a link to your store in your signature, there is a $25 yearly fee (one free advertising year is included with your first $25 Donating Member donation, the one free year starts when you make your first donation). If you are a Donating Member, you may sell items without linking to your store, thus avoiding paying a yearly link fee. Links to Dogster, home pages, information sites, or Yorkie videos is still acceptable.

2. If you are selling items, you are allowed ONE bump of your thread. A bump is when you reply to your own thread so that it goes to the top of the first page of threads in the forum. You may answer any questions people have of your product, but any post not related to a question will be considered a bump. Responding to comments on your thread is considered a bump. Bumping threads for other members is not allowed. If you have multiple fabrics or items or attachments to post, your replies to your thread must be made within ONE HOUR of your initial posting otherwise it will be considered a bump.

If you are selling a batch of items, you may post an update once a day if something in your list has been sold. If nothing has been sold, you may NOT post an update. This update will not be considered a bump. Updating your selling prices would be considered an update and not a bump, however, you may only have up to ONE UPDATE per day. This is for sellers that are only selling individual items and only for batches of items that are listed on YorkieTalk threads. If you have a list of items that are not listed on YorkieTalk, you may not have a daily update.

3. Products for sale MUST ONLY be posted in the Products For Sale forum. We only allow Yorkie Products For Sale. Personal items (such as computers or cell phones) are only allowed in the Garage Sale forum (Garage Sale - Non-Yorkie Stuff For Sale - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community.

4. You must include prices of the item(s) you are selling.

5. For sale threads containing links ONLY are not allowed (ie, just posting a thread with links to eBay or etsy). Links to other selling sites are allowed if you also post the item here with a full description - just as you would for any other product sold here. Links to your eBay store or links to the list of items you are selling is allowed in your signature if you are a Donating Member. We do not allow selling of Amway, Mary Kay, or any other direct marketing products unless approved in advance.

6. You may NOT review any products that you or your storefront is selling in the Yorkie Products & Review forum, as there may be a conflict of interest.

7. If you do not follow these rules, your threads and posts may be deleted and you may be suspended. Other abuses of the products for sale forum may also lead to suspension or banning.

8. You may only post items you are selling yourself in this forum. Members must be selling the items themselves and collect the money themselves. It is inappropriate to sell your products in another member's For Sale thread. Please create your own For Sale thread if you wish to sell products in the forum.

9. No referral links are allowed.

10. Members are free to price their goods for whatever they wish, and all members are free to buy or not buy from that seller. Posts questioning the price and posts which are disrespectful to the seller are not allowed.

YorkieTalk.com is not responsible for any products advertised in the Products For Sale section nor do we vouch for any sellers. We provide no guarantee for any products listed in this forum. Please use caution when purchasing from any individual member or Web site. Buy at your own risk. We highly advise you pay via Paypal using a credit card for your own protection. If you do not receive a product after 30 days, contact the seller first to try to resolve the problem. We recommend you file a complaint directly with your credit card company if you do not receive your item after 45 days.

If you do not receive the product(s) you purchased in a timely manner, we would suggest you first try to contact the seller via email (the email address you used to send the seller money via Paypal) AND PM at the same time, just to make sure they get the message. We would advise trying to contact the seller again if you do not hear from them within three business days. We would assume one week total is plenty of time for a seller to respond.

There is a 45 day time limit to file a Paypal claim, so please keep that in mind. To protect yourself, we advise filing a claim by 45 days if you have yet to receive your product. You can close your claim after you file it if you do receive your product later. Your credit card company claim dispute policy may be different, you will have to ask your particular credit card company to see what their policy is. We would suggest filing a claim with your credit card company first (if you used a credit card to send money via Paypal).

From Paypal:
13.3 Filing Deadlines. We will not grant any Claim unless you first initiate a Dispute in our Resolution Center within 45 Days of the date of the relevant payment and then escalate the Dispute into a Claim within 20 Days of the date you file your Dispute. It is your responsibility to keep track of the deadlines under this section.

We also suggest members may look into filing a claim for mail fraud if they have paid for items and not yet received them. U.S. Postal Inspectors investigate any crime in which the U.S. Mail is used to further a scheme--whether it originated in the mail, by telephone, or on the Internet. The use of the U.S. Mail is what makes it mail fraud.

Here is the link to file a claim for mail fraud:

After talking with many YorkieTalk sellers and storeowners, we feel it is not fair to our YT Donating Members to allow new members and members who have not yet donated to YorkieTalk to sell in our Yorkie Products for Sale forums. Thus, non-Donating Members are no longer allowed to post new threads in this forum. Thank you.

The Yorkie Products for Sale rules have been updated for those members that are selling a batch of items.

Please review if you are selling any products. Thank you.
