What's the deal with people selling goods and services & only offering paypal?
Can they not be removed or banned from the forum.
Surely they should have to give a bitcoin address??

Well as far as I'm aware they don't NEED to specifically have Bitcoin as a payment method. I don't think there is any forum rule for that. Is it annoying? Yes, because everybody here prefers to use Bitcoin. If anything it hurts their sales more because they aren't using the payment method that we all use to buy here.

That's true. Well, it is 'bitcoin'talk after all, hence they should receive bitcoins as a payment method as well.

Whenever I come across a thread for something that does not accept bitcoin nor any other crypto as a payment method, nor has anything to do with bitcoin (or any other crypto) then I will just report the thread to a moderator for not being bitcoin related and it will eventually get moved to the trashcan.

If a thread is only accepting altcoins, but not bitcoin, and otherwise has nothing to do with bitcoin then it will get moved to the altcoin marketplace section.

They do. If they don't accept bitcoin then it will be removed. As QS said, just report them and they'll be trashed.
