Great News for The Building Code Forum Sawhorses, Supporters and Registered Members!!
We now have a new classified section where you can list items for sale. Items can be sold to anyone that finds the site but only members can list items for sale. The benefit to The Building Code Forum is that it will generate revenue to help cover the expenses of running this forum. Rather than explain it all, I will do an FAQ.
The Building Code Forum Classified FAQ's
Q: Who can sell in the classified section?
A: Anyone that is an active Registered, Supporter, Moderator, Administrator or Sawhorse member.
Q: Are there fees involved to sell?
A: Yes and no.
If you sell it locally and make arrangements for someone to pick it up, there are no fees to us or Paypal but you are responsible for collection of your money.
If you sell it through Paypal, you pay the Paypal fees plus the forum's fees. This is the best option to protect the buyer and seller.
Q: OK, so what are the forum's fees?
A: If you are a registered member the following fees apply to the gross sale, including shipping:
Sawhorse= 3%
Supporter= 4%
Registered= 5%
On average Ebay's fees equal 11.6% out the door. Ours will be below that and you have the option of local pickup with no fees
Q: What are Paypal's fees?
A: Paypal's fees are based on the type of account that you set up and can range from 2.5% to 3.7%. Remember if someone pays with a credit card not through Paypal, additional fees apply but that is rare and beyond our control.
Q: What can I sell?
A: Right now there are only 2 categories, Tools and Equipment and Miscellaneous so the latter category really give you the freedom to sell just about anything. As with any public, professional site, you cannot sell anything that we deem to be inappropriate such as anything illegal, pornography, guns, etc. We will reserve the right to pull any ad that we do not feel is appropriate.
Q: Do the ads expire?
A: No, the ads do not expire. After the item is sold, however, it will be automatically marked as "sold"
Q: Can I sell more than one item?
A: Yes, you can sell as many items as you want and as many listings as you want
Q: Can I sell multiple of the same item in one ad?
A: Yes, there is an option to sell more than one of the same item for the same price in the advanced tab.
Once all of the items have been sold, the ad will be marked as "sold"
If you have any other questions, please ask and I will add them to this thread. Until then, good luck and sell some stuff!
