Sellers: Stop the add x% for fees and requesting F&F or lose potential sales.
----------
This is a call out to everyone that has a distaste for seeing F&F and "add x%" in the exchange threads.
• If you want to (but don't) purchase a knife because the seller has F&F or add x% stipulations, shoot them a conversation and say you would have bought it, but won't due to them asking for F&F or added fees.
• If you still do choose to buy the knife, I suggest you tell them you will pay their stated amount, but only with G&S and will not be adding the funds requested.
(If this causes them to decline, they will be throwing away the sale.)
• In your conversation, send them a link to this thread, or at least tell them about it.
----------
----------
Let's actually let folks know that there is a measurable community here that doesn't like this practice.
• That being said, From here on out, if you choose to sell as stated above, I will not buy from you.
If I want your item(s), I will offer your stated price but paying G&S only with Zero fees added. If this costs you the sale, it is of your own doing.
• I will send a link to this thread to those that I would have done business with as an explanation why I am not doing so.
The mods are busy enough, and the exchange is our marketplace. We should be the ones to Urge for the change we want!
Who else wants to push for this change?
Edit to add: If you crap in a person's sales thread, you will get an infraction. So don't go on a rampage giving people the bidness in their threads.
