This it to alert all members of a new rule coming out. As of December 20th 2015, the following rule will be in effect:
Secondly, over the past few years, the one trend we have seen in terms of bad deals is that all of them use F&F payments. What typically happens, is a member does a deal F&F, the seller gets busy, goes on vacation etc. and the buyer panics, screaming to the heavens that they are being scammed. Then 4 days later, the seller replies and all is fine. The bottom line, is this can easily be solved, along with a slew of other problems by utilizing PayPal correctly. At the end of the day, if you are purchasing a $100/$200 pair of sunglasses, the 3% really is not much more for peace of mind.
Sure some members will still use F&F through PM/Private, elsewhere, but this is out of our control and you are proceeding at your own risk.
The bottom line:
- Members may no longer request PayPal F&F as a method of payment
- All payments should be sent through G&S to comply with PayPal terms of service
- Members may not request 3% additional fee's on top of Price - All prices must include using PayPal G&S

The bottom line:
- Any threads that request F&F, or 3% fee, will be warned, and deleted within 24 hours if not edited appropriately.
- Any deals gone bad that utilize F&F will no longer be looked at/moderated by a member of the Staff
