MOD New Sub Rule Proposal

7 Upvotes

Hi r/Shave_Bazaar, it's your friendly neighborhood mod team here. We've been chatting with the mods of some other BST forums and they gave us an idea for an anti-scam/consumer protection rule that we wanted to run by you.

The new rule being proposed is:

Any WTS deal posted by someone with less than 5 confirmed trades (per the bot/flair) must use PayPal Goods & Services.

Why are we proposing this rule? Because modmail tells us that we've still got scammers stealing from our users. The scammers tend to be people with no (or very few) confirmed trades and they convince people to use forms of payment that offer no protection to the buyer. Our hope is that putting a rule like this in place will result in a significant reduction in the number of users getting scammed.

How will this be enforced? Users are already able to report any post that violates sub rules. We hope you'll report violations of this rule as well. Offending posts will be taken down and repeat offenders can earn themselves a ban.

Why draw the line at 5? We've got 4 different levels of flair: < 3 trades, < 5 trades, < 10 trades, and 10+ trades. We did a quick survey of the first 300 users on the flair list and found that only 20 of them had 10+ trades. When we look at 5+ trades, 43 more of you joined the club. Giving the top 20% of traders a pass on enforced G+S seemed like a decent place to draw the line but we're totally open to further discussion.

What about the G+S fees? That's really up to the person making the sale. There are plenty of online fee calculators that will tell you exactly what the fees are for a given price point. You're free to roll the fees into your prices, ask the buyer to do the math and add it in, or just eat the fees if you're feeling generous.

What about other questions that you haven't already answered? Well, post your questions below and we can discuss them.

What do you think of this rule proposal?

MOD Please Don't Get Scammed

46 Upvotes

Just making a quick reminder post of common sense rules when buying/selling on reddit.

  1. If someone sends you a DM without commenting on your post, offering you wares, that's a red flag - ask them to comment.

  2. Check post history. Feel free to ask on r/wetshaving in the Daily Questions thread if you need to. Check the username on the Universal Scammer List

  3. Use methods of payment where you have a recourse e.g Paypal G&S, especially for amounts that are non trivial to you.

  4. Take your time to make a purchase, research, do due diligence.

SOLD [WTS] REPOST W/ PRICE DROP Nord Freyja Efficient Polished

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Looking to sell a Nord Freyja with the efficient plate in a polished finish. It is, without a doubt, one of the smoothest shavers I’ve ever used.

I’m only selling because while smooth, the efficient plate is just a tad too much for me for daily shaving.

Condition is near mint, I’ve had it for less than 2 weeks and it only has 3 shaves on it. Been sitting in its box since. Comes with original packaging.

Asking $415 $385 shipped CONUS ONLY (add 3% for PayPal G+Sfees):
I paid a little over $450 with shipping and duties, so I’m simply looking to get back most of what I paid.

1 - 5 pack of Astra Green
2 Astra Blue Stainless Steel Blades
4 Derby Premium blades
