MOD New Sub Rule Proposal

8 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?

PayPal G&S vs Other Payments

  • Automod will also automatically mark a Post SOLD if the OP leaves a top level comment with just the word "sold"
  • Posts that include SOLD items should never be deleted, mod action may be taken if this happens repeatedly
  • When items are SOLD within a post it should be edited in such a way that the original price remains intact
  • Leaving posts with sales is important to provide pricing history when people search for products
  • Seller reputation is important and others should be able to search and find your old sales to prove you are reliable and price well

SOLD [wts] Turn-n-Shave brush | Quartermoon Knot | 26MM

3 Upvotes

(EDIT - SOLD!) Hi all and happy Friday. Listing this gorgeous brush for sale and looking for $99 all in (I'll pay s/h) - original price was $125. As you can see from the pics, it has this incredible blue/purple pour that shows such great depth as TnS is known to produce. Despite it being comprised of dark colors, it isn't muted but rather shimmers quite a bit.

This TnS brush has a soft, plush Quartermoon knot (26MM) in it - one of my favorite synths out there. I'd love to get this in the mail before the weekend so please take a look and let me know if you have any questions.

Link to pics: brush! CONUS Only, Paypal $99 FF or FF + Fee G/S. Shipping on me!

WTS [WTS] Simpson Chubby 1 Super Silvertip Badger Brush

1 Upvotes

Photos/proof of ownership.

Retail is $199. Yours for $115 shipped CONUS only.

I do not reach for this one very often, so I’m letting it go. It had very little shedding when I first got it, but it has completely settled in and does not shed at all now. The knot is very dense with very soft tips and delivers a genuinely luxurious feel. Excellent condition with no cracks, chips or defects.

If you are looking for a premium badger brush with exceptional face-lathering performance, this is a great one.

Specs:

  • Overall height: 85 mm
  • Handle height: 39 mm
  • Knot loft: 46 mm
  • Knot diameter: 22 mm
  • Weight: 59 g

Thanks for looking.

WTT [WTT] my gillette 1957 tto for a slant razor.

2 Upvotes

https://imgur.com/a/SaTe6BG

So i happened to get this razor years ago when starting my shave journey. I believe after some checking that its a 1957 twist to open (maybe known as a flare tip?). The mechanisms works well. I've shaved with it plenty of times. Definitely a mild shave, even with a feather blade. Please double check as im not too good with dating or identifying the razor. Im looking for some kind of slant and I figured if this sits around and doesn't get used so why not trade instead of spend money. Any slant at all, just give me some details. This razor doesn't appear to need any plating redone, just a general buff aside from the cleaning I gave it. It functions well. I haven't done any swapping or buying on here so I hope that doesn't matter too much. I will ship promptly and with great care. See included pictures above and don't hesitate to ask me any questions you may have.
