- The single most important rule is Buyer/Seller beware. CarolinaFishTalk cannot be held responsible in anyway for any activity related to items being sold, traded or given away. Buying/Selling items online is inherently risky but common sense can go a long way.
- This section is for aquarium related sales only, if its not aquarium related there is a separate section for your item(s)
- All items must have an ASKING PRICE and YOUR LOCATION
- Absolutely NO auctions or anything similar from members in any section sponsors are the only ones allowed to do auctions and only in their section
- If you post an item that item must be yours and in your possession, no selling for a friend, neighbor, co-worker, etc.
- No "Gauging Interest" or any similar type threads, either you're selling it or you're not.
- No posting of for items you find online like ebay, craigslist or any other online site, again if its not your item do not list it (listing your own online add is acceptable)
- Keep the off-topic chatter out of the for sale post, no posting anything negative about the sale…if you don’t like the price then don’t read the post
- All transaction details should be accomplished via PM
- This section is strictly for Hobbyists Only. If you are a business or buy for the intent to re sell items and would like to post your items see the advertising packages available. These decisions are based on a case by case basis at the discretion of the admin.
- Advertising of services of any kind (fish related or not) is not allowed
- There is an “iTrader” system on Carolina Fish Talk that should be utilized for every transaction possible as this protects all of our members as well as gives credit where credit is due (see more about this, including instructions below)
- Members should attempt to work out any problems with a buyer/seller amongst each other civilly via PM, only using negative feedback as a last resort
- Anything that has been posted prior to 3/22/2010 will be "grandfathered in". This means that if your post goes against any of these policies but was posted before this date then it can stay up on CFT, even if its bumped up.
- Generally CarolinaFishTalk Staff will not get involved with disputes over a transaction unless there is an obvious case of abuse. Your best recourse if often to file a complaint using paypal.
