2. Seller Requirements
2.1. A seller is any user who sells items of any kind on the forums.
2.2. Any user who wants to sell or trade through the forums shall meet the following requirements: they shall have been a member for at least one month and/or have a post count of at least 100 posts. Any user attempting to take advantage of the non-Market forums to meet these requirements will be subject to action by Moderators and Administrators.
2.3. Sellers with insufficient (little or no) feedback and/or posts may be asked to ship items first (ship items before payment is sent), or allow local pickup. Sellers with insufficient feedback and/or posts who refuse to ship first or to allow local pickup can be identified as scammers by forum members, and will be subject to deletion or banning by the Moderators and Administrators. An example of the situation may be found here:

2.4. Users who commit scams using the forums may have their account restricted or deleted by the Moderators and Administrators. Offending accounts may be marked with reference to the transaction.
2.4.1. Moderators and Administrators have the discretion to permit a probation period for the offending user to acceptably rectify the situation.
2.4.2. Any user who commits a scam on this website forfeits all privacy rights to their name, address and any other discoverable personal information until the situation has been acceptably rectified. Any such information can be posted on the forums, resulting in public availability on web search engines (e.g. Google).
2.5. Any user who commits a scam outside of the forums may be subject to having their account restricted or deleted by the Moderators and Administrators for the safety and protection of other members.
2.6. Any user who has no interest in being a member of the community should not join the forum just to sell their items. These forums are not meant to be an equivalent of eBay or Yahoo! Auctions. Any user suspected of this kind of behavior may be subject to actions by Moderators and Administrators.
