Don't do it - I've inspected the underwater parts of that bridge - it's f@rked!
Thank you to everybody who has contributed to this thread. To anybody who has been scammed, I'm sorry about that, we do our best to address scammers, but we can't get them all.
I have posted a thread on the Site Suggestions proposing that we require 2FA for Classified privileges and PM privileges. I have also summarized some of the suggestions in this thread. Please have a look at that thread, and let's discuss the 2FA proposal as well as any ideas y'all have there: Suggestion - Require Two-factor authentication for Classified privileges

Maybe its too late to comment, and I also didn't go thru the whole thread, but as I see it:
The internet is the internet and there will be some scams regardless of what you do. The questions is, are scams are a significant portion of overall classifieds adds? I would argue no, they aren't. And the ones I have seen here, usually have plenty of red flags
I would just bump the min number of posts required to sell to 30, and the rest is really onto the buyer to use common sense especially if making a big purchase like using paypal FF protection, buying from people who had been here for some time, asking questions, pics with a physical note that would state the date posted etc etc
