Buy/Sell/Trade Rules of PK Forum

Dear members,

We're announcing rules and regulations for making deals in the buy and sell section of PK Forum. Please read them carefully and apply them while making any sort of dealings here in PK Forum.

Below are the rules for this forum. Please follow them, as they will be enforced strictly. Any posts seen to be unfit will be edited or deleted, and any infractions dealt as needed.

1) No thread-lowballing. If you think someones price is unreasonable or you want to make a lower offer, PM or e-mail them. There is nothing worse than if you are trying to sell something and someone says that price is too high. That scares off other perspective buyers.

2) Update your thread when something gets sold or is no longer available.

3) You MUST post a price in for ALL FS (For Sale) deals.

4) You cannot sell something you do not have in your immediate possession. If you are selling something over Rs.500, you must provide pictures of it to show the condition and demonstrate it is in your possession (ie: picture of laptop with your PK Forum username also in the picture or a picture of PK Forum's website on your laptop's screen).

5) Only post tangible items! (No CD keys, Coupons, game accounts etc.) If software is part of the sale, the original media MUST be included if such media exists. Otherwise, a valid key MUST be included. This applies to all software pre-loaded into a device or just included in the BST.

6) No sale or trade of Not For Resale equipment or software. Also, any software, computers, or media originally purchased through an academic or employee purchase program cannot be sold here UNLESS THE EULA SPECIFICALLY GRANTS THE END USER THE RIGHT TO RESELL SAID PRODUCT. For instance, most APP/EPP copies of Windows Vista cannot be legally resold. Windows Vista Upgrades that were sold with laptops cannot be sold as standalone softwares, and must be included only in a sale with the original PC that was purchased with the upgrade.

7) Be courteous when buying or selling, and use commonsense.

8) List the payment methods accepted (Money order, Check etc)

9) Post item condition (scratches and the like) and any images of the item as well. If your quota of uploading images is full than please upload your image(s) on any image hosting website.

10) Anything listed as OEM must have everything provided with equipment when first purchased.

11) Do not just post external links to another forum. Add all relevant information to your thread.

12) If you have sold items so, in that very thread, post a link so users can verify your previous history of selling/trading/buying. If you have sold items previously on PK Forum, you may also post user names of those may act as references.

13) Feedback – After you have completed a transaction, both the buyer and seller can leave feedback for each other. You can do this by viewing the user’s profile, then clicking on "Post User Note." Just include a quick 1-2 sentence summary of how the transaction went.

14) You cannot ask for donations(and/or other freebies. Rep included).

15) Absolutely no jokes in the B/S/T forum. Transactions are serious and people will get irritated by jokes involving monetary loss.

16) If your post does not conform to these rules, PK Forum staff and Moderators reserve the rights to delete any and all of your listings.

www.pkforum.com is not responsible for any transactions: this is not eBay. All sales and transactions are done at buyers and sellers discretion and all risks are assumed by those parties only. Admins or Moderators cannot help to resolve B/S/T disputes. Be cautious while making deals with someone.
