The trading rule is not just there to protect members, it allows us to monitor what is going on and the transactions on the site. But it also allows us to have dedicated traders, we provide them with a service as much as they provide the members.
We have already been very flexible. To help understand our view have a look at Idrees'
sale history.
Not including the individual parts listed by Idrees, these are the threads linked to breaking.
Break #1
Break #2
Break #3
Break #4
Break #5
Break #6
Now in the period of less than
one year, do you think this is normal sales activity where a member is simply shifting a few parts that have been replaced or no longer required?
I can't see the issue with listing parts on eBay? Can you give me an example other than listing fees as to why you wouldn't offer your parts there? Almost every member here will look on eBay if they require something, looking on the forum will most likely be a second option to most.
I think it's agreed that our main interest lies with our registered traders. We're not really interested in people who want to buy and break cars to make a profit or buy parts cheaply and sell them on here. We want our traders to develop new products at reasonable prices, we'd prefer the members of the forum to purchase from them because the outcome is that some of that money will be invested in the development of new items.
