Solved: Selling in classifieds

[90to90]

Hello,

I'm a new(ish) member and am more of a lurker than a poster. I would like to sell something in the classifieds forum, but it says I have insufficient privileges to do so. How do I gain these privileges?

There have been problems with sales where new users, or users with no history, have stolen money from our users.

How to gain privileges? Be an active member of ScubaBoard and establish a history.

Thanks, but how do we be more active? Just respond to discussions?

Respond. Start your own threads. Basically, if you want to make money off us by selling gear to us, you have to interact with us!

SB is a good place to sell if you are willing to ship. But as people have stated, if you aren't known in some capacity, you cannot expect to be trusted.

Ebay?

Ebay?

Providing ebay credentials should help. I remember my first sale here they asked for that. While I've long abandoned ebay, I do have a history back to 1998. The first item I bought was a Bronica S2A medium format camera for $550. I sent a personal check, and the seller shipped it prior to it clearing.

The level of trust and basic decency is long gone.

I’m in the same boat! I’m trying to engage where possible without being a nuisance to the board and to established users. I come with my (limited) experience but am here to learn.

Any conversation that isn't just plain aggressive won't be a nuisance... hell, they even tolerate me! Join in the discussions..... even limited experience may be different experiences and we all can learn from that.

Respectfully,

James

don't hesitate to ask pointed questions about things you'd like to learn more.
