Classified ads

Why do people post their ads and then never respond to any questions? I have inquried on several ads with no response. I try to buy from the members of this fourm first. They may have already sold the item which is great but then the ad should be taken off.
Thanks
Lloyd Henry

I'm not sure. You'd have to ask the people you're posting messages to. Your best bet is to send them a private message by clicking on the "contact seller" link.

That's your prerogative. We got rid of the email feature for security purposes so it's either pm or nothing. If they don't respond, I can't go make them.

I think you're talking about a seller feedback rating system? We have it already.

I guess you mean "The guy" and not "They guy?" Hard to understand what the heck you are talking about, spell check would help considerably.

Again I am confused, I guess you mean "certified check"? Anyway, if you buy used, site unseen, you are taking your chances. No way for us to know that the stuff people put in the classifieds even exists, let alone is in good shape.

It is a buyer beware market.

We already have a buyer rating system in place, which is most likely why Mr Thorpe had a hard time understanding what the heck you were talking about.

If you think becoming offensive will help him better understand your question, I can assure you that you are completely on the wrong track.

I would suggest you try a free spell check program for your browser, that would give the rest of us half a chance to understand what you are trying to say.

If you can tell me which browser you are using, I would be happy to help you in that regard.

Pay attention, and look at the rating system that is already in place.

what if we send out our hard earned cash (citerfied check)and get nothing or not what we where told it was?
That's between you and the seller. It's "certified"

we need a score like ebay...good or bad....

We already have it. Take a closer look. Are YOU with ME now?
