Here are the basic rules for the Marketplace on GameRenders that should keep your marketplace experience a good one. Selling items over an instant messenger or off the forum We encourage members to not make transactions involving GameRenders via MSN/AIM/Yahoo messenger etc. This is because we will not provide any sort of scam protection if you trade off of the forum, so if someone steals your credits/money then don't PM us, we won't be interested unless there is a lot of good solid evidence to show that the scam involved someone on GameRenders (e.g screenshots, IM logs). Please make a thread in the Rippers and Scammers board for futher assistance. Please make sure you include as much information as possible, including screenshots of paypal invoices, GR threads etc. If you want to make a quick transaction via IM and want scam protection, then make sure that you make a thread selling your item and tell the buyer to post a reply in it confirming he is going to buy it, and for what price you have both agreed. Selling GameRenders accounts Remember that accounts created after Febuary 2006 cannot be sold via the forum or externally from GameRenders. Any such account that is found to be sold will be disabled (so the buyer loses the account they paid for) and the seller of the account will be fined. The date has been moved to febuary 2006. When you sell an account, remember to change the password immedietly after receiving it. We are not responsible for any credit losses caused by sellers logging onto past accounts they sold where the buyer hasn't changed the password. Note that accounts that have been sold will not have their -reps or warns removed. Once an account has been sold, all reputation on that account is frozen and cannot be changed. This is done to stop people with bad reputation or high warn levels having the same value as perfect accounts with no -reputation or warns. Here is the rule in the marketplace covering these rules: Loans and Borrowing of credits You are totally responsable for loans that you make using GR credits. Although it's a good deed, we can't replace any lost credits so always avoid loaning to users who you do not know or users who have low post counts and/or reputation. If you loan to a scammer that does not pay you back then it's your problem - if the credits cannot be retrieved then we will not refund you. Simple as. Selling items of value for credits When selling items of real money value for credits, always request that the credits be sent first. Remember, we can control the credits sent via GameRenders and so if you get scammed, we can reverse the transaction. We will not provide any scam protection to stupidity (e.g when buying credits, sending money via Paypal before the credits are sent). As always, we [Gamerenders] take no responsibility for loss of credits or real items. Again, you do this at your own risk. Gaming / Website Accounts The Selling of games, CD keys for games (including beta keys for games), WoW accounts, GW accounts etc. is not allowed on GameRenders. The selling of Steam and Rapidshare accounts is no longer allowed here on GR. Invites Selling Moola and other invites is not allowed on GR. You may give them away, but not sell. Additionally, you may not sell or even give away Demonoid(or any other site linking with warez,torrents,P2P) invites. Anyone found selling invites, will be warned/suspended. Selling/buying with real money Selling anything on GR (tags, tutorials, resources etc) has to be sold with GR credits as the currency. With the only exceptions being GR forum accounts(see: Selling GameRenders accounts), and GR credits. Anyone trying to sell things for real money will be warned. Buying things is basicly the same. As is requesting services etc. Requesting If you are requesting things for credits, you can only do so if you have the credits in your immediate account, or the bank of your immediate account. You cannot start a thread stating you will buy the credits at a later date. This is to protect against scammers. Rule effective: 17th September 2007 Additionally, please use the Sig Request sub forum for requesting signatures. REMEMBER: Threads can only be bumped after 24 hours from your last bump, if you bump with only an hour or so from your last bump you will be warned. Requesting people to wear your banner/text You may request people to wear your banner in their signature space as long as you comply with the following; * Advertising banners may be no larger than 468 x 60 pixels and one line of text. * Only one external link. * The banner / text must not link to warez, torrent, pornography sites etc. The sale of lessons on GR * You buy lessons at your own risk, if anything goes wrong do not come running to the staff because we will not help you. *We [the GR staff] hold no responsibility of anything that may go wrong in regards to the lessons you have paid for. *Credits that you have spent on these lessons will not be given back to you by staff if anything is to go wrong. GR Bank The GR bank system is there to protect your credits. The GR bank can be found under the Shop (nav link) > Addons > Bank. Or use this link. BANK</span> <span style="color:lime"> If in doubt..
