New Classifieds Requirement
- Thread starter Evan B
- Start date
Do I correctly understand the seller is paying this 13% fee? What fee(s) besides the bid price or buy it now price and shipping does the buyer pay? (As you can tell, I have no eBay experience, but I have been looking for a specific reel).
You will also have to pay state sales tax, but there are no buyer's fees
No... it’s totally reasonable... if it was up to me I would make this whole damn website a ghost without “membership” too much easily obtained information. Not saying to directly hotspot, but geographical arena info passed on is always nice. Changing back to the original issue, brand new first post buyers/seller, and the sequential wam bam ripped you off man was out of control on the former site. Skin in the game is good. @ CDNRED pony up some loonies, I do appreciate your comments on this board.

$5 for a great site and safe sales/purchases. Well worth it. Plus I get to look at @Itchy Dog's artwork everytime I visit! 
Would it be helpful to communicate anything regarding first dibs? It seems there is an informal process to post desire (to queue up), then PM seller. This doesn't always work out with seller claims of receiving earlier PMs only (sometimes meaning an acquaintance came late to the game, I want them to get it). Maybe that's okay? Not everyone camps on the Classifieds.
I have always been curious, it's not clear. Perhaps a can of worms?

I think this needs to stay between those involved in the transaction. It's ultimately the decision of the seller who they want to deal with.
Agreed. However the majority here that follow the unwritten guidelines sure make this a better place.
Great plan! I hope it helps.
You forgot your comma's. Fixed it for you.
And you accidentally added an apostrophe where it wasn't necessary. Fixed it for you.
I dont know what to say but thank you. Truly.

The strategy to get members comitted to supporting web site makes sense. i am a new member and just signed up for $5 month.

okay I am confused here...to be listing anything on this site I need to be a financial "contributor"? I see how you guys benefit not sure how it protects me? Wish you well but I am out of here! Freshly spawned and now floating downstream...
Thanks for stopping by
And just in case you didn't read the thread: we're pretty transparent that a part of this requirement is indeed to benefit those of us who maintain the site. If you want to use the platform that costs us significant time and money to sell things, we ask for a small contribution. Anyone who doesn't agree with that has infinite other options throughout the internet to list for "free." But I encourage you to read through the thread to understand our position.

It protects you by knowing you are buying from someone who has taken the time to be at least minimally a part of our fly fishing community. Most of the scams are drive by new members. This is one simple and relatively cheap way we wish to counter that. It appears we are not the site for you and that is fine however this is a labor of love for Josh, Evan and I and I can assure you our goal is not to get rich but to protect our growing community.
