Honestly, our Classified addon came to me by luck. It was gifted to the site by the add-on designer via a raffle, with lifetime updates. From the start I envisioned several good things we could do with this add-on, but on the same hand a lot of negatives.
The Positives:
For buyers and sellers, this is a buyer-beware area. If you are buying something make sure you use something like PayPal that offers you some sort of protection. Sellers, it is up to you to make sure you follow up with those wanting to buy. Provide them with a good way to pay and include ways for the buyer to be able to track their package(s).
On the site side, those that are found to be selling questionable items, or plain scamming they are automatically banned.
The Positives:
- Members being able to offer their used equipment to others who could use it.
- Members simply give away unused equipment.
- Crafters being able to sell their wares here.
- No real way to make sure the sales are litigatmate.
