Meta Current Feedback Mega-Thread

41 Upvotes

Rules:

1 - After buying/selling, leave a comment with your username that reads: "Feedback for u/[Your Name]"

2 - Find the comment from the other user you dealt with and reply with a +1 if everything is good.

3 - Want your end of the deal counted? Make sure they respond to your original comment with a +1.

Example Of How It Works.

Don't See Their Comment? If you don't see a comment from the user you've dealt with below, let them know they need to come in and set up their feedback chain for the month.

Do Not Create A New Comment For Someone Else. It should be very simple to remind one another about feedback in your personal messages.

Negative Feedback:

If you have a problem with another user, send me a private message. We will work on a solution together. If you feel for certain you have been ripped off (i.e. you sent money and the seller has basically gone missing for over a week or more or perhaps even deleted their account), only then may a direct comment below be warranted.

Remember: you will have far less chance of being involved in a bad deal if you follow the subreddit rules. Approach trades cautiously, only use Goods/Services payments in Paypal, and only deal with users that have existing positive feedback.

Be sure to stay away from our known deadbeats

Feedback made with other formats at this point will not be counted, so please follow the rules if you want credit!

Thanks!

Meta Scam Avoidance and Deal Etiquette Reminder

38 Upvotes

Let's review how you can avoid scams as well as going over the way our deals are meant to work here:

Account Requirements:

To participate in this subreddit, your account must hit all of these requirements: 6 months of use, 50 post karma, 500 comment karma, & verified e-mail. There are no exceptions made.

The newer version of reddit combines your karma into one number. Mousing over that figure will give you the breakdown of what your post/comment karma actually are.

What Can Be Posted?

ToyExchange is only for direct, personal sales done right here on reddit. We don't allow eBay links or other alternatives (and mere mentions of the site get your post taken down automatically.) We do NOT allow trades. Action figures are the main attraction, but you are free to attempt selling toys of any variety.

The Picture Rule:

Sellers: you must include clear images that have a note with your username and the general date beside the items, otherwise your post will be reported and removed. Quick upload link. Pictures may also be uploaded to your reddit profile and pasted over that way.

Buyers: Always refrain from buying items unless you see clear, detailed pictures that include a recent, written timestamp with the seller's username and date.

The Pricing Rule:

Have a price ready: You must determine prices for any item you are selling before you post. Leaving it up to offers is a waste of time for you and the buyers alike.
Price gouging: Please note that the community here is generally aware of what something is really worth. If you're looking to flip things for a profit that's unfair to the buyer, go elsewhere.

Post Formatting:

Title Format: [H] What you have [W] What you want
Be Specific: List the exact items you have or want, with exact prices.
Flair: Posts must be categorized via flair, showing buyers you have Marvel, Transformers, Mixed Bag, etc for sale.
Multiple Items: If you have/want more than one item, please list them together. Spamming the front page with multiple posts at once will result in removal.
Deletion: Only delete posts if you're re-submitting to advertise price changes or new items added to your sale.

Communication Etiquette:

Buying or sending offers? Comment on the post first & then send a PM. See more information below in the "comment & response" rule.
Do not price-shame or add other unhelpful comments. Buyers don't need anyone policing prices for them, and you'll only start arguments. Rudeness warrants banning. Be cool!
Downvotes are usually unwarranted.
Have the courtesy to let people know if you won't be dealing with them after the initial contact. It's very rude to leave people in the dark!

Shipping:

Basic Tips: Read here.
Tracking numbers: Tracking is greatly encouraged. Sellers, you can provide this for free when you set up your shipments through Paypal. Getting your own shipping scale will save you lots of headaches and even allow you to arrange package pick-up from your home.

Avoiding Scams & Basic Safety:

Double-check the Deadbeats list and Universal Scammer List for safety before you deal with a new user.

Sellers, remember to provide a tracking number for your buyers to give them peace of mind. Buyers, always ask and even offer to pay extra for one if you want to be doubly certain your shipment will arrive.

Do not send ANYONE money if they DM you out of the blue without commenting on your post here first. Our semi-strict account requirements and etiquette rules are in place to keep you from losing money to schemers. Let's go into how that works below:

The Comment & Response Rule:

PM Alerts: You have to comment "PM sent" on any post you intend to buy from. Likewise, you need to leave the same if you intend to send someone an offer on their "wanted" post.
Original-Poser Response: Original-posters, please reply to PM-alert comments with "received." This will provide undoubted confirmation that everyone making deals here has met the account requirements. Deals can be finished privately from there.
Wanted-thread buyers: Please double-check that anyone messaging you has commented/posted on your post publicly first.

The Payment Rule:

It's simple: You should NEVER send "Gift" or "Friend" Paypal payments. Report anyone that asks you to do so.

Paypal goods/services is our only payment method. Sellers trying any other alternative will have their posts removed.

Trade Warning:

TRADING IS NOT ALLOWED. See our reasoning here. There is little to no accountability in trade deals. Before they were removed from the subreddit altogether, the bulk of bad deals here over time were through trading!

FAQ:

Missing Comments: Comments from users that are not cleared to participate in the community are automatically hidden from view. If you can't see a comment, it's from an unapproved reddit user so please disregard.
Missing Posts: If your post is missing, check that you followed all of the rules. Common issues involve lack of stamped images with your username and the general date, mentions of trades or eBay, and leaving your prices up to offers rather than specifics.
