10. Selling items as a private individual.
Only gold members may offer parts for sale on this forum on a private basis.
"For sale" topics must be in an allocated sales forum and will not be tolerated in any other part of the forum. We also ask that members selling many items at once try to do so in one topic as opposed to listing each item seperately, this aids the smooth running of the busy sales section's.

With regards cars for sale we take the same stance as many online car sales websites and deam a user with more than 4 car sales per annum as a professional/part time car trader, thus gold membership will not cover it and he/she must register as a trader or cease selling at once. This is to protect PF from unscrupulous part time car traders trying to make a living from PassionFord by using our userbase to tout their goods.


11. Selling items as a trader.
Members either known to be, or considered by the webteam to be Traders must be registered as official passionford traders and have paid the current fee to enter any sale advertisements whatsoever on the forum or be registered with a business name.

In addition to this, because a Trade user will build up a level of trust and trade recognition within the community, he will no longer be allowed to trade on passionford or retain his trade name if he chooses to withdraw his trade status and site support. This is to stop unscrupulous traders registering for a few months and then trading for free on the back of the status he buildt up in that time.

PassionFords Banner traders are allowed one "sale related" topic in the general Discussion forum only at any one time as an extra perk for his increased financial input to the site.

Please Note: Traders found to be publically referring work to ex- PF traders will be asked to leave passionFord as a trader as it is unfair to other paying traders. The Bottom line, if you want to trade using PassionFord, you must pay the traders fee.
