To be honest with all of you, This is a great conversation, but if if this is a proposal for the forum to control sales and trades, then I must say that I'm STRONGLY against establishing any formal forum "trade rules" concerning shipping responsibility, refund and return limits and servicing issues.
Yes Lani, they're all VERY valid concerns, but are things that ALL sellers should establish in their post before selling an item. It shouldn't be up to the forum or Admins to determine who should pay shipping or anything of the sort. I'm all for seller protection.. but no one should be responsible for mandating how my sale goes even if it is by means of the forum. Of course there should be limits on prices and things in order to cover RWG's ass (money laundering etc.. is not a good thing). But i think the ball should stop there.
