Welcome to the B/S/T Forum - Last Update : 1/1/09
BST REVIEW TAKES 24-72 HOURS, DEPENDING ON WHEN YOU POST. If you post on a Friday your post will not be up until the following week. So when posting take this into account.
DO NOT POST MORE THAN ONCE WITHIN THIS PERIOD OR YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE BANNED FROM THE BST.
By posting in the B/S/T Forums you are expected to act with a certain level of professionalism. You are also agreeing that you have read these rules prior to any post and/or PM (Personal Message) you have made to another member, whether it is in the act of buying, selling, or trading of merchadise. First you must acknowledge we are NOT a professional sales forum, Nikeskateboarding.org is not affiliated with NIKE Inc, or any of its companies, in any way, act, shape, or form. We are an independant site, that caters to unifying members of the same interests, similar to websites such as myspace.com or craigslist.com. You forfeit any right you to pursue legal actions on or against the owner of Nikeskateboarding.org and Nikesb.org for any money, items, stock, personal damage, emotional stress, vandalism, death of family, or death of friends that you may encounter while conducting business with strangers on the internet more specifically on this website.
These rules will be broken down below on how you should conduct your business here on Nikesb.org as an intelligent Buyer, Seller, and or Trader.
Buyers:
-NEVER pay for an item here with CASH, CHECK, or MONEY ORDER !
-Expect to be scammed immediatly or run it to problems with a seller when buying an item without using Paypal, more information on what Paypal is and what protection you are offered can be found at
http://www.paypal.com.
-You are expected to do your research on a seller before making a purchase on our website, once again we claim no liability for what business you conduct through our forums.
-Ask a seller if they have any feedback or referances from other sellers prior to making a purchase, you can even search for a members feedback before communicating with them here ! More trustworthy members will list their eBay feedback under their profile name, however, the posted profile name can be forged and fraudlent so take that with a warning.
-Remember just because a seller has 'Great' feedback or referances here, does not establish the fact that they are 100% honest in their business practices. Some scam artist, target new members specifically, which are usually catagorized by members with low post counts.
-Make sure you ask the seller what is included in shipping, a tracking number is a must ! This lets you know where you package is at all times, though depending on the sellers service he selected could take days to update. As well it IS a requirement when using PayPal when filing a claim against a seller for a lost item, fake merchandise. It is well worth paying another $5.00 to protect your $150 dollar investment !
-While the staff at Nikesb.org is active in filtering out posts a few can slip by, as we all have professional jobs/careers and the services offered to you on Nikesb.org are offered by volunteers, not hired employees. Make sure in any Dunk SB sale you are looking into, you first compare the sellers item with the information in our Visual Fake Dunkpedia Guide. This guide is a public service for members such as yourselves to determine whether the item posted is fake or real. If you think an item is fake, please report it to one of the moderators or administrators for final approval.
-Do not make offers if you are not serious, failing to follow through with an offer may result in suspension, loss of BST privileges, or a ban from NikeSB.org.
Sellers:
-To protect yourself and the buyers on this board you should accept Paypal from an account with a confirmed and verified address ONLY. No cash, personnal check, or Money Orders.
-You are expected to do your own research on a buyer before making a sale/conducting a transaction on our website, once again we claim no liability for what business you conduct through our forums.
-Ask a buyer if they have any feedback or references from other buyers/sellers prior to making a sale/transaction, you can even search for a members feedback before communicating with them in the feedback forum! More trustworthy members will list their eBay feedback under their profile name, however, the posted profile name can be forged and fraudulent so take that as your warning.
-Remember just because a buyer has 'Great' feedback or references here, does not establish the fact that they are 100% honest in their business practices. Some scam artists, target new members specifically, which are usually categorized by low post counts or new ‘joined’ dates.
-As always set up an eBay auction to form a binding contract. This helps create a middleman to ensure that minimal problems arise and that an impartial third party can handle your disputes, if they arise.
-Make sure you, as the seller, include in your price for shipping (BIN or H/O): a tracking number, signature confirmation is safest, but delivery confirmation/tracking of some sort is a must! This lets you know where you package is at all times, though different delivery service providers can take days to update. As well it IS a requirement when using PayPal when filing a claim against a seller for a lost item, fake merchandise. It is well worth paying another $5.00 to protect your $150 dollar investment! Both as a seller and buyer. In the end charging/paying an extra $5 for your shoes will save you the hassle of not knowing where your shoes are or covering yourself in the event of a misplaced item.
-Posts that have not been updated in 30 days will be closed automatically and not reopened. You will have to start a new post to sell.
-Shipping standards: USPS for example.
Typical postage for 1 pair of shoes East Coast to West Coast, including purchase of a box (double boxed) and Delivery confirmation is $15. Signature confirmation is an additional $1. Insurance is highly recommended and in most cases will cost you an additional few dollars to cover yourself in the event of a lost item. It is recommended that you charge a standard shipping rate to include both Insurance and Signature/Delivery confirmation for all your items, this way you will be happy with your sale and buyer’s will have a reasonable expectation of what they are paying for and receiving in terms of the shipping. $20 seems like a lot to ship your shoes, but in the end the extra $5-7.50 will save you the headache of delays/mistakes on the part of the shipping service.
-If you try to sell a fake item here you will be BANNED immediately, IGNORANCE is not a valid excuse. Even if you disclose that the item is fake, you are not allowed to sell it on our site. YOU WILL BE BANNED!
