* MOD POST * RULES, USER CONCERNS, BLACK LIST/SCAMMERS
1. We have updated the rules for this community to include addressing scammers.
PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE POSTING: UPDATED PROFILE
If you feel you have been banned unjustly, you must contact the moderators and submit your proof of sending the merchandise.
IMPORTANT: We highly recommend that you NEVER conduct a transaction using the PayPal gift option. It doesn't matter what kind of sob story the seller wants to provide, without fail 99% of these sellers who would request the gift option are scammers. If you choose to do so, there is absolutely no recourse for you if you do not receive your items because PayPal will not open a dispute on a gift transation for ANY reason.
3. Please remember to use the "LJ-Cuts" because people have addressed concerns with lots of photos bogging down their friends page possibly creating a slowdown. You can, however, have a "maximum" of three (3) photos not under the cut but if you have any more than three, please put them under the cut. INSTRUCTIONS for LJ-CUTS *
* Because people seem to be entirely ignoring #3, we are going to have to implement a policy of deleting posts that do not use the LJ-Cuts. If your post has more than 3 photos above the LJ-Cut your post will be deleted. So, if you find your post is suddenly gone, this is why.

2. Due to a considerable increase in scammers, including those that open web stores, collect money and then close the store and disappear, we are now implementing a black list. Please PM moderator immediately with reports of any scamming and you may also post a comment here in this thread. You must provide proof that you paid for goods and did not receive them and as much other information as you can. Once proof is provided, the name/PayPal account will be added to the Black List. The last registered LiveJournal ID of the scammer will be banned, but of course, this does not prevent them from creating a new ID and coming back. So, it is important that everyone participate in contributing information to stop scammers. We will maintain the Black List here on this pinned post so it will be easy to see/find. It would be a good idea to check the Black List before you purchase from anyone.
