USPS insurance does cover damage.
I have had 3 claims denied during the Pandemic because the carrier signed off on them at the street.

And the guy replied that it was quite obvious from his messages from the way he spoke that the account was hacked.
Again, if I get scammed using FF it's on me. You just read the official response on the admins take. No one will be requiring FF, and it's up to the buyer/seller if they want to take that risk. There really isn't anything more to it. If you want to ban people who use a payment method you don't like, start your own forum and police everyone's private transactions.
Exactly. And the rules state that the official stance is that the buyer must not make FF a requirement so what are you complaining about? Steer clear of me all you want, every transaction I've had on here have all been FF and flawless though and agreed by both parties; if the other person isn't comfortable with it, I always take G&S. You do you man, but I'm good as is. You're yelling at the wind here.rules exist to protect everyone. you not only seem to be asking to eventually get scammed yourself but to make it possible for other people to as well.
honestly you're exactly the sort of person I'd steer WELL clear of doing BST business with. people who invite trouble often find it.
Same, timestamps are always good.I’m member of another forum where items of much higher value are sold and bought.
EVERY item for sale needs to have a picture with a piece of paper on it. Said paper needs to have the username of the seller and the date on it. The papers needs to have been thoroughly rumpled and then unfolded/smoothed again. That way it’s very hard to photoshop anything.
It doesn’t fix all problems but I think it would deter scammers. Cause ANYONE can easily grab pics of knives from the internet especially if it’s not a custom…. But even then: the makers have probably posted them online.
I almost spit coffee out my nose when I read this onerules exist to protect everyone.

Rules can also exist for one of the following reasons (which is not the case here, but in general): 1) to benefit the rulemaker, 2) to benefit the friends/ supports/ associates of the rulemaker, and (not the case here), and 3) to control people.
Would have been clear if worded as 'The rules...' vs 'rules' in general. Wording is important. You may have been clear in your head, but not so to the readers.Im not talking about rules as a general proposition. Im specifically talking about the forum rules for buying and selling.
how is that not abundantly clear? (Im 110% sure it is)

I agree, but if you're a scammer and willing to "invest" in a Supporting Membership, ......
Exactly this. Why are we even talking about all these hypothetical situations that just don't happen. Changing this or that to stop a tiny number of bad people and bad transactions, I don't get it. Some here make it sound like accounts get hacked all the time and bad deals are done all the time in large numbers around here. This hasn't been happening so far. If this changes then sure new rules can be implemented, at present the cost benefit analysis just doesn't work in favor of any change.AFTER the first such instance this may be reconsidered.
I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of unscrupulous postings that have been reported over the course of the last 10(?) years.
Give it a rest.

also we had an incident where a mod saw a thread posted with f&f and posted in it in a way that wasnt saying it was against the rules which some people will take as an endorsement of the seller, whether that's how it's meant or not it is reality.
They probably teach spelling, capitalization and punctuation as well. You slept through that but woke up for the contextual reading part?
And WdeF does that mean? Contextually of course.
(I'm kinda laughing as I type this one)
And now back to regular programming.
Why the anger? We don't pay KKF for any service so mods are more like volunteer to me and I don't think they owe us anything.do you think Im going to not say anything because you're a mod?
you posted in a scam thread where the OP was asking for F&F with 'GLWS' instead of doing something about it, and that was after it was reported. people got scammed in that one. whether you recognize it or not, people view you as a source of authority because of your status here and not only do you not enforce the rules you argue against simple things that would help other people. I cannot for the life of me understand why you are a moderator since you have such a serious disdain for the rules, and are not satisfied having merely assisted a scammer, now you are arguing against even simple measures that would help and barely inconvenience anyone.
why not just give your mod duties up if you're so uninterested? Im sure the mod staff can find someone who wants to do it.
I think another issue that needs to be addressed is people not providing all information on the item being sold and not providing proper pictures of the item being sold......
It’s easy to get an item and realize that it’s not quite what you saw in the pictures because the pictures were of such terrible quality and people aren’t taking care to appropriately and properly represent the item to a high enough standard
I really don’t understand people selling stones without showing proofs from the stones use on both the stone and the knife
I think that really should be made a standard
The final issue to consider is that I find a lot of times the buyer is aware of the rules but refuses to use PayPal. A lot of the younger people simply don’t have a PayPal account and refuse to use it, they prefer Venmo cash app even Bitcoin
now you are arguing against even simple measures that would help and barely inconvenience anyone.
