Topic: Marketplace Rules (draft)

I have created a few forums to be used as marketplace. I have come up with the rules of each one so I will really like that you read those and tell me what you don't understand and what you feel that is wrong.

Theme Marketplace Rules
Modifications Marketplace Rules
Custom Request Rules

Once we fix the rules the marketplace will be open.
Regards.

By the way the marketplace will be free to sell, you don't have to pay me a single penny for create a topic, sell something, buy something, etc. Totally free.

Re: Marketplace Rules (draft)

nice idea with the marked posts.
I was just wondering if it might be an idea, under the "for buyers" message, to note that a good idea is to contact the seller before you pay, to both ask and check that the f.ex paypal info is correct and then tell the seller you will pay within the day or so.
Just to insure that the seller is ready to sent it within that day as well.
that way they wont end up asking for a paypal account... wait till payday, then sent the money and end up sending it after the seller... left or what the reason might be for not answering.
hope it made any sense hehe   to sum up it would be something like  "always contact the seller to agree when you transfer the money"

Would be great if we could have a plugin like 'itrader' for vbulletin here, it would make things a lot easier.

Why you mean with "total lack of protection"? What kind of protection you want?

Well to start with you backup a customer of yours who, to anyone else, could easily see that his website design is a direct clone. What is to stop him from doing the same to anyone else?

If someone posts a mod and puts a demo link, it would not be hard to take the code and clone it. This really puts people off posting work.

I haven't ask for a demo in the rules. What are you talking about? If you don't want to provide a demo is your call.

And I'm sorry but I can't protect you for copyright concerns because I can't be a intermediate in that. If someone comes here and sells your work for a cheap value, and we have evidence, the sale is over but I can't do more... Let me ask you something,  If you sell your things outside the forum who tells me that you don't sell it to non clients? or how can you tell that he is a client? And above all.. I have ever ask you and to anyone who trade here to who are you selling to?

I'm offering you something that will be used to you and I need constructive responses not just complains.

Re: Marketplace Rules (draft)

I understand your reply and position, however he is using you as a defense. That no seller would expect. I have seen your reply and I have to say you side more with your customers, which again I understand but you have to see that it may put people off.

I know you don't really care as it is your software that is for sale, not other peoples modifications or themes, however it has put me off from selling any more of my work on here and I'm sure other will feel the same.

I know three customers of yours and mine who agree with my views.

it doesn't matter, if you don't want to use don't do it.

It states that I will not negotiate or be a handler in the selling process. All that it says is that if the seller runs away I will ban the sale. if you think that is wrong then don't sell it, period. I won't tolerate sellers that doesn't share my philosophy of doing business.

Re: Marketplace Rules (draft)

Buyer will always have more protection than the seller, AFAIK that's how it works in most places.

however in this case,  tonemapped's template has been obviously copied and I would've agreed that Rodolfo contacted the customer asking to change the style.

True it does, but most places offer a minimal level of protection. Meh - it's not Rodolfos job to moderate sales of modifications and there will always be morons like deFiant around.

Just don't sell things to him, as a seller you can deny the sale to somebody that you think that is not ok. You can have your reasons and nobody will ask why.

But don't confuse things. Can we actually improve the market rules?

Thanks.

I didn't sell to him in the first place, he asked me about buying the theme then asked for a discount because he couldn't afford it so I said OK. Next time I see his site it's a clone of mine - he never paid for anything.
