Buy, Sell & Trade Section?

[Martin]

Wasn't there a problem with the Runescape version of the 'trusted' list where those on the list started to abuse it? 100 times more risky with real life things!

Yeah this is one huge problem. With Ebay you have safeguarded methods, with habbox it would probably lead to accusations of scamming. I don't think cloning ourselves into an ebay type thing would work at all and would create lots of problems. The security of our members information is of very high importance to us and it's our job to ensure that such details are safeguarded.

You also have to remember that a large proportion of this forum are too young for this type of activity anyway and it could lead to further problems for us getting into trouble with parents etc.

It's a nice idea and I can see where you are coming from, but in my view it's too risky, doesn't really fit in with what we offer in terms of a forum and isn't really something which can be easily run without problems popping up.

The trouble is this involves users giving each other their addresses, which is something we simply cannot accept happening. Most users who need to sell their stuff do it through official channels such as ebay and post a thread in the relevant forum, and these don't crop up enough to really require a whole new section.

Selling xbox 4gb?

I don't think it is needed - there are auction sites for this to happen anyway
