Title: Sellers using SELLY and other off-site sales "stores" (in Digital Goods). Post by: sandy-is-fine on April 12, 2020, 11:32:03 PM Been reading the Bitcoin Talk rules recently and saw the one copied below in the GUIDELINES FOR THREADS section of the rules list. Does that mean using Selly and the myriads of other similar sites is prohibited in Digital Goods? That is the goto modus operandi these days it seems for scammers (as well as a few non-scammers). Is it "technically" not permitted?
Quote Digital goods (child board of Goods) - Trades of digital goods on-forum for Bitcoin (except for invites and accounts). If you are selling goods on another site (e.g. have an online store), it doesn't belong here. Title: Re: Sellers using SELLY and other off-site sales "stores" (in Digital Goods).

Is it "technically" not permitted? I've seen a few scammers selling stuff that's listed on Shoppy too. In my opinion I think that sales should be conducted entirely on the forum, not on some other site front where communication is not visible to the public.

Yes, I believe those websites belong to the prohibited category.Is it "technically" not permitted? To an extent.- Not sure but I've seen a lot of these types of threads remain for at least a week or longer [I don't normally track such threads for a long time] and some might never get deleted if nobody reports them.

Post by: LoyceV on April 13, 2020, 02:11:59 PM I didn't notice that part of the rules before, but I'd love to see that rule enforced. Bitcointalk shouldn't just be used to advertise online shops that are most likely scams, at least the trades should happen on the forum.

Bitcointalk shouldn't just be used to advertised online shops that are most likely scams, at least the trades should happen on the forum. That would definitely get my vote. :DHere's an example. This totally scam thread won't go away. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;threads;u=1227343;sa=showPosts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;threads;u=1227343;sa=showPosts) The low-life scammer who "owns" it comes back every few days and bumps it.

Post by: hugeblack on April 13, 2020, 08:21:45 PM I hope that there is a rule for this type of scam, but I assume that it is intended to have a full website and not use these sites as a guarantee between the seller and the buyer, "delivery services."
But if it is a rule, it is strange that the mods do not know it. Title: Re: Sellers using SELLY and other off-site sales "stores" (in Digital Goods). Post by: sandy-is-fine on April 14, 2020, 03:32:11 PM Going to lock this thread for now and see how it goes.
