That's something that would require a bit of programming to change I think. Unfortunately there is no setting that I can change to make it mandatory.

Same goes for a feedback option on the forum....more programming changes.

OK thanks. I know on some message board software it's just an option in the board settings as to what information/fields are required at time of sign up.

I'm with Uncle Stretch on this one. I can't imagine buying something sight-unseen, and I'd sure as heck never consider trying to sell something without (detailed!) pics to show what I was selling. And why would listing the price even be a question??? This isn't an auction site!
I fully understand that having a min. post count might possibly chase off some new users, but isn't that a small price to pay to help guarantee the integrity of dealings amongst the rest of us?
Just my 2 cents. :wink:

I think the reason some people want to e-mail pics instead of posting them is due space/bandwidth constraints on their website/server. Also, given the state of the economy, some people can't justify the expense of a digital camera, and must depend on someone else to take pictures.

Pics = mandatory
Price = mandatory
Location = mandatory
Paypal = optional... not everyone has it, or is willing to use it.
Intro = optional
Feedback = already a thread for that I believe

And once its decided, post it up as a sticky in the for sale forum, then mods can see fit to enforce the rules.

Oh... and its always a good idea that if you sell items, a 5% donation to the site would be welcome.


I second that vote. I am a newby, myself.
