Clarification about Classified Listings/Ads

[TonytheTiger]

Just wanted to ask a couple of very quick clarifying questions before posting my classified ad. When you say no more than 10 items in a post, that means that there cannot be more than 10 head covers say in a massive head cover lot that has duplicate head covers like two stage 2 hybrid covers? Would those two count as one item or two separate items? I cannot say post 30 items of which 15 are duplicates?

The second thing I am unclear about is say I post a listing today and everything contained within it does not sell for 3 days, am I not allowed to post a separate unrelated post for 3 days or just 24 hours...? 

Lastly, do you guys take a fee or is everything based on honor and the payment method is decided ultimately by buyer and seller such as paying through Zelle or Paypal or Bank transfer? 

 

I would appreciate some clarity on these three points. Thank you!

Please ask and refer questions to the bst ad help forum. This form is not for bst support. 

 

 

 

I moved my question here as a result of the response I got from the staff. Clarification would be greatly appreciated!!!

Duplicates of same item would count as separate items. In your hybrid head cover it would be 2 head covers not one. There might be an exception for a match set for different clubs but I’m not sure.

 

You can’t have more than one open ad at a time. If you have your ad open for 3 days and decide to open a new one you must close the first and wait 24hrs before starting the new one. Nothing in a closed ad can be relisted for 30 days.

 

WRX does not take a fee and PayPal Goods and Services is the only recommended way to pay. Asking for payment using others forms of payment will likely get you in trouble and BST suspension.

Thank you for the reply. However I do not see why I cannot ask for payment in a different secured way...E.G. bank payment, I would argue, is the most secure for both parties (esp. with apps like Zelle-Quick Pay which have an outstanding track record). 

 

Even if I post say golf shoes and golf balls or golf clubs, they cannot be in separate ads? So then would you recommend me creating one ad with a bunch of separate items? Please let me know, thank you!!!

The BST here is not easy for beginners and moderated that way. That would be what eBay is for.

[Bad9]

Hopefully a BST mod will chime in and I suggest you review carefully the rules posted in the BST forum. You can only have one ad open at any given time limited to 10 items regardless of what they may be.

A suggestion.

 

Incorporate the linked rules about payment methods into the Classified RULES themselves.

 

Nobody is going to go looking through threads, pinned or not, to see if there are any additional rules they need to follow.

 

The RULES themselves should be all-inclusive.

Also among other rules, if you’ve posted more than 10 comments per day in an attempt to use the classified section, you’ll be temporarily suspended.

Man, my suspicions were correct... I'll give you one thing, you actually put some effort into some of your responses which had me going but I kept seeing you avatar on multiple topics. I know I'm not the only one thinking it too. You recieved more profile visits in the last 3 days than I have in the however many years I've been here. Haha you had a good run  👍 ✌

Thank you for the clarification. I was confused on some of the rules as yes, indeed, I am a beginner but I have been on these forums since March viewing topics and responding when I saw something interesting. I was busy with work then but now COVID has had its way with business so I have a lot more free time on my hands to respond to cool postings in a multitude of different forums. I understood how people can make those claims that paypal is frozen but I just want to add my two cents and say that bank transfer is very secure and has buyer protection, esp. when keeping track of your records! The bank even cancelled a payment to a seller when I reported it was fraudulent. Just thought I'd chime in and say paypal shouldn't have a monopoly in this sense. Either way I appreciate the help and look forward to seeing y'all in the forums 🙂

Yep. 6 posts from 3/7 join date to 10/5. 10/6-present 73 posts. True post run for the B/S/T. Gets provided B/S/T rules from WRX mods then complains about them. Go figure.

Just explained my reason above, and I will continue to post. I have a European golf thread I'd like to start tomorrow 🙂

Well, besides the fact that you meant "Since when is asking for clarification complaining",  the above sounds like a complaint to me.

 

Further, had you actually read the linked topic, you'd have had your answer.

I appreciate the response but the link was hidden from me...not sure why but it didn't show up. All I was able to see was the banner on the top of the classifieds section which, to me, wasn't clear enough.

In Gxgolfer's post OF the Rules in this thread is also a link to another thread entitled "DO NOT PAY WITH VENMO........."

 

Can you NOT see that link ?

I can see it now...before there was just a rectangular quote box there that was greyed out. I assumed it was a glitch or something. Paypal is good for buyer protection but I am just saying that in case a potential buyer felt better with a bank transfer method if that is OK to accept?

[Krooks Boepka]

I was trying to find some clarity on this earlier but it looks like you guys covered all of it! Not sure of where this animosity toward @TonytheTigeris coming from here in this thread...it seems like he is just asking questions and posting decent stuff. Go get 'em Tiger 😉 🤣🙏

Busted for using another account.  Posed as another member supporting/defending himself, nice try!
