*** Classified Rules ***
The classifieds are a place that allows community members and community members ONLY to sell occasional products time to time. It is not intended to facilitate commercial levels of trade and is not intended for use by vendors. Should you wish to breach this an infraction will be placed against your account, multiple infractions could lead to a ban.
The seller has the right to ask whatever price they would like for an item however sellers should also be aware that should the item you are selling be available for a lower price in total including with shipping that members are authorised to disclose this information provided the requirements are met. Please see below for more details in the "Allowed responses section".
UNLESS THE SELLER SPECIFIES IN THE ORIGINAL POST THEY ARE WILLING TO TAKE OFFERS THEN NO OFFERS MAY BE MADE.
NO OFFERS ARE TO BE POSTED IN THE THREAD IF THE SELLER HAS NOT AGREED TO IT nor PM'D To the Seller!
Meet the asking price or wait for them to allow offers.
DO NOT PM THE SELLER to try and coerce them to accept offers... ANY bullying or trying to shame sellers into lower prices will be a bannable event.
Outside of this the classifieds are run as a free market and the administration and moderation team will not be controlling nor influencing either buyers or sellers for any reason provided the rules are followed. Please do not open further threads on the forum discussing the classifieds or the rules that are put in place. Should you continue to do so an infraction will be placed against your account and multiple occurrences could result in a ban.
1) If you are caught shill bidding or encouraging others to bump your thread to generate more than a natural level of interest all of those involved will be banned.
2) There is to be no selling of NEW items within the classified section. Only vendors may offer new items for sale and they may not do so within the classified forums, only through vendor forums and subforums. A member may sell new unused items but NOT for RRP we expect you pass on the savings reflecting the item does not have a warranty as if purchased direct from a dealer .Such items can be deemed "As New" but they are not "New".
3) The ONLY thing that should be PM'ed between both parties concerned is personal details and banking/paypal details.
ALL BIDS OR OFFERS( if asked for by the seller) FOR THE ITEM are to be IN THE THREAD and not in a PM
4) You should consider putting a location in your ad, That way it makes it easy for people who might want to pick up if available and not deal with postage etc.
5) If you're not bidding, asking a genuine question, or providing a link where the item can be found at a lower price, then do not post. More information on allowed post types is listed below.
6) No sales using the PayPal gift option. ALL sales made using PayPal must be via the 'goods' option in PayPal. This provides a level of protection for both buyer and seller.
7) No nicotine or juices containing Nicotine are to be sold or traded on this forum. This also covers using slang terms to hide the trade of Nicotine juices. Take it offsite. ZERO TOLERANCE. You will receive a 48 hour ban for your first offense and your thread will be removed. Further breaches of this rule will lead to your permanent removal.
8) In the regular classifieds we wish to still engender the "look after your mates " approach and as such we appreciate that in listing in those areas you are offering the items ONLY for sale to ViA Members.
However, in moving with the times, we also realise there ARE instances where to get a quick turnover and possibly the best return for investment that a vaper would wish to advertise their items on several platforms at once ... If this is the case then please advertise the item in the new Classifieds Sub-forum " Vape Gear Advertised Elsewhere"... However part of the requirements of using that subforum is that if the item has been sold elsewhere the advertiser MUST clearly state the item is gone when it sells , if this is not done punitive measures may be applied .
9) Please respect honesty in advertising , if you are selling gear that is not made by the original designer/retailer( i.e. a copy clone or counterfeit) you must disclose it in the title of the ad e.g "Nemesis ( copy) for sale" or "Nemesis (clone) for sale" and Place it in the CLONE for sale sub-forum. Likewise if you are selling Authentic equipment it is in your best interests to include that information e.g. " Nemesis ( Auth.) " and place it in the Mass Produced Authentic sub-forum. Failure to identify items as a copy may result in the ad being deleted at the moderators discretion. We also have separate threads on ViA for High end Authentic Items, Mass Produced Originals( non clone) and Clone items. Please ensure your item is listed in the CORRECT category

or you will receive an infraction on your account, multiple infractions will result in a ban:
* Offers: UNLESS THE SELLER SPECIFIES IN THE ORIGINAL POST.....THEN NO OFFERS ARE TO BE POSTED IN THE THREAD or PM'D To the Seller!
If the Seller specifies they are open to offers...No lowballing, the offer must be based in reality. If the item is offered starting at 100 and you bid say 60 dollars you will be considered to be trolling and your post will be removed. If the seller has listed a Price THAT IS THE PRICE THEY ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT. If a price is agreed upon, failure to conclude the purchase with the seller will result in an infraction. Multiple infractions will result in a ban.
* Questions for the seller regarding the specifics of the item for sale: Questions or posts that have nothing to do with the sale at hand will result in an infraction being placed against your account, multiple infractions will result in a ban.
