Sales topics must be in the most suitable 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 separately, this aids the smooth running of the busy commercial sections.
A lot of people try to get round the rule above by posting a topic called "What’s it worth?" under the pretence that they are just wondering how much to sell it for. Due to the fact that such a member would receive many private messages about such an item for sale, we only allow this to happen in the Items for sale forums, which are of course plus members only areas. This rule only applies if the user does in fact have one of these items that they may want to sell.
Members either known to be, or considered by the web team to be commercial users must be registered as official PassionFord Traders and have paid the current fee to be able to enter any sale advertisements whatsoever on the forum or be registered with a business name. Registration is also required in order to place or reply to wanted adverts.
All topics must give a clear description of the goods and a price. Listing items with no price is not good enough. If you are not sure of a price, visit eBay to get an idea.
It is not PassionFord's responsibility to check that goods are fit for purpose, accurately described and/or comply with UK road and traffic laws. That is for you as the buyer to ascertain for yourself and we must ask you to think very carefully before buying from a member with very few posts as they may have signed up just to sell an item meaning nobody on the forum will know them.
Nothing that you post for sale must be illegal for use in the country occupied by the buyer or seller. Vehicles, or items intended for use on vehicles must be fully legal for use on the road and must adhere to all relevant laws unless its lack of legality is SPECIFICALLY stated in the advertisement in good clear text of normal or larger font size. (I.E: For off road use only.)
Selling items "On behalf of" anybody whom is not a member is not allowed. If a person wishes to use PassionFord to sell an item, it will take him just 2 minutes to register their own account. This stops a multitude of problems when the item is not as described and the topic poster is held accountable.
This is from the rules that we all read and abide to that are available
