Question: Whats the policy on charging more for paypal fees? Its illegal according to the Paypal ToS and the majority of FS forums out there ban it. I see it stated a lot around here, so is it legal on these forums?

oh dont worry they do it secretly on other sites.....people here are basically asking if you have the common courtesy to pay the fees. we are all cheap here but we do try to help each other out

Most of the time the prices here take into consideration the paypal fees.
If someone explicity says you pay extra for Paypal - you still know what you are paying upfront so shouldn't matter as a buyer.

Ok, so i guess you guys are saying you're just more straightforward, whereas on other sites, they just charge more to compensate for not explicitely adding paypal fees...that makes sense

this is a great site, keep up the work mods

Just posting to remind everyone to limit their bumps to two or three times per day as opposed to the six or seven I've been seeing lately. That's a bit excessive.

#8 in the FAQ in the OP.

Right. Some people took it too far though. I don't think Casey meant for people to bump their tradelists 8 times per day. The trade board doesn't even move that fast. It's not like if you don't bump it every hour it gets pushed to page 10. A few times a day is really all that's needed.

I'm all for limiting bumps... I see a certain few trade threads way too often. Can't you (or Pooky, or somebody) just PM them and give them a friendly reminder?

I've been posting in threads lately, but I can do it in PM, yes.

Just making it clear to everyone by bumping this thread.

Whoops! >_>

Since you're forcing us to limit bumps (and I'm saying this jokingly), that actually kinda helps me by not visiting this site every hour. The unfortunate part for me is I rarely get asked questions on my topic but in PMs instead. Free bumps are hard to come by for me.

Question on freebies: What should I leave as feedback if I'm giving away a free item? Is it listed as a trade or seller/buyer (since they'll pay shipping & bubble mailer)?

If they are paying for the shipping and packing, treat it as a sale.

added rule/suggestion #9.

Thanks Pooky, great addition.

Does the search button look into things marked as spoilers? I would like to keep a list of all completed trades.

learned my lesson. thanks for telling me the x3/day bump rules :P

Yes it does.

Hmm just wondering is stating that you made an update considered a bump? An update being that you either added or removed things.

I personally consider and Update post to be a bump as well. I usually will do my updating when I need to bump so it pretty much goes hand in hand.
