well you if you use paypal and dont send it as a gift you can usually 8times out of 10 get a refund. Also for some one to ship their item to you before you even give them some form of a payment is redicoulous. I got scammed by a person that had twice as much good feedback as me. Feedback isnt always a clear way of determining if the person will for some reason scam you or not

A minimum post count is useless because people will just post anything to get the count up. Its just buyer beware, Ive bought and sold to 0 feedbacks without incident. Just do your homework and make sure there is good communication, thats the only thing you really can do..

just because we "noobs" don't sell much or post on rctech doesn't mean we are not part of other forums or trusted sellers on other sites. I just posted for the first time a few days ago and I like to
provide my screen name on other sites so that you more " experienced" guys can trust a noob... sorry if I sound a lil mad but I kinda am

i always ask to send as a gift, makes it easier for me especially after ive sent a photo albumn worth of pics, ha!! i have no desire to jerk anyone for RC items/parts, if thats ur deal u need to run up in a bank or go to a lhs/track and just deebo(just take it)
minimum posts: yes, i was ref to amount of posts before u can post pics.....which should be vital to the sell of an item

What is with the recent influx of people joining our ranks just to come in and peddle their stuff? Little to no posts, no trader feedback, no introduction, just a for sale ad.
This isn't Craigslist!
I think RcTech should implement a rule like I have seen on other sites. I think new members should be required to have X amount of posts and time onboard before they can post a "for sale" ad in the classified section.
Not to mention...... how many of these ads are scams!

You're mad? Well if you don't like it, go back to one of your "other" forums. Us "experienced" guys are just trying to avoid getting taken for a ride and think it should be a privilege to sell, not a given. We are actually interested in buying, not scouring through a hundred threads of garbage to find a real one.

I understand starting from ground zero, I think you're missing my point. I hate seeing people that do not and will not participate. They join to do nothing more than steal or to post something for sale and then they're gone.

That is a longshot, not doubting you but the likelihood is slim. We can not prevent it 100%, we are just trying to eliminate as much risk as possible.

If you don't like the fact that someone is new to the site just don't deal with them. This isn't a life or death situation it's toy cars...expensive toy cars. Let the newer guys deal with each other untill they reach that magical feedback rating that makes you warm and fuzzy inside but doesn't really mean a thing. Just because someone used to be good to deal with, doesn't mean they will always be good to deal with. You take a chance every time you make a deal with someone sight unseen.

Just so you know if you ask me (and a lot of other members on here) to send the money as a gift I will most likely walk away. To me if you are willing to steal from paypal then how do I know that you won't try to steal from me. It's nothing personal but to me stealing is stealing. If you use paypal's services by being paid through them then they deserve to get their 3%.

This was not a stab at people with low feedback scores, it was a rant about the people abusing the site to sell one thing and that is and will be they're only post and you may or may not get what you paid for.
