Was that title dramatic enough? Good. I want you to read this message.
Slippertalk.com has a free marketplace for both hobbyists and vendors to sell plants and other orchid related goods. We do not ask for donations, or a percentage of your sales, and never will. We don't try and keep track of who is selling what for that reason.
It has been brought to our attention though, that some sales are going on that even we don't know about. I want to make a couple of points very clear about sales at Slippertalk.com so both buyers and sellers know exactly what is expected of them.
We allow the public sales of orchids and related goods without regulation. You are completely free to list all legal orchid products without worry. Nobody is going to hassle you for listing orchids for sale. I know other forums are harsh in the treatment of members who try to sell things. We are not like that. I promise.
We also don't mind if you sell your items by private message. Sometimes, approaching one person is easier than approaching the entire forum. We understand that, so don't worry if you want to sell to someone using our private message system. It is allowed!
Now, here is the important part. If you feel uncomfortable being approached by someone selling something by private message, let them know that you don't want to hear from them. You have the right to tell someone not to contact you about sale items.
If a seller rips you off by private message, and then you complain after the fact, we will feel sorry for you, but there is nothing we can do about it. You should have asked about their reputation first. Buyer beware.
If someone doesn't pay for items received, post a thread about them so the rest of us can be aware of their reputation. Be honest and don't flame them though. What you post could be considered libelous unless it is a basic statement about the events that led to you being ripped off.
Ok, back to your normal programming.
