GUIDELINES FOR USE OF THE FOR SALE FORUMS
Due to increasing fraudulent activity by members on these forums, new guidelines have been put in place to protect buyers and sellers.

By posting or using this forum you agree to be bound by the guidelines and understand that at a Moderator or Administrator's discretion, inappropriate actions or misuse of this forum may result in your IP Address and Username being banned from this website.

___________________________________________________________________

As a result of many members signing up simply to sell products, lack of returned support through donations upon items being sold, and to curb fraudulent sellers all members wishing to post an item for sale must now upgrade their membership to "Verified Trader" status. To become a Verified Trader, please visit here. You must have a valid Paypal account.

Note that ALL new posts are subject to moderation, and will ONLY be approved by a moderator when the post complies with these guidelines.

____________________________________________________________________

There are only three forms of payment methods accepted by sellers of items.

* Paypal (www.paypal.com.au)
* Australia Post C.O.D(www.auspost.com.au)
* Cash on Pickup

Paypal is free to signup, but you must verify your account with a credit card before being able to receive payments (this also confirms your identity and address). Paypal also includes Buyer Protection, and includes a Dispute Resolution system. This is the method strongly encouraged by Car Audio Australia.

Australia Post C.O.D (Charge On Delivery) is the safest method, as you only pay for the goods when you receive them. The buyer receives card in the mail from their local post office, and then pays at the post office. A money order is then sent back to the buyer. There is a $7.00 fee charged by Australia Post for this service. As a general rule, we suggest any item sold over $100, that the seller pays this fee. Any item under $100, the buyer should pay this fee. Shipping payment is negotiated upon sale.
