Gear Swap Policies – Read this Before Posting

[BPL Moderator Team]

POLICIES

• For Sale postings may not include references (especially URLs) to any
  external listings at other classified sites. We’ll cheerfully remove such cross-posting information.
• Begin your post with FS (For Sale) or WTB (Want To Buy) for clarity.
• Once your item has sold, please edit your last post by adding *SOLD* to reflect the sale of the item. If more than seven days have passed since your last post you won’t be able to edit your last post. In that case, please make a new post indicating the item has sold.
• Bumping FS threads: Posting a significant price reduction on an unsold item is perfectly OK, as is posting that some items have been sold. However, ‘bumping’ postings so they are back at the head of the queue or posting trivial price reductions of less than 2% is not permitted and may result in the removal of the whole thread.
• Bumping WTB threads: You are welcome to bump every 14 days. Please do not clutter the forum by bumping more frequently than this increment.
• Do not post multiple threads about the same item. Duplicate threads are subject to deletion.
• Backpacking Light does not involve itself in disputes between buyers and sellers, but please feel free to post your (fact-based) experiences with buyers or sellers here for the benefit of our community.
• Be careful when sellers require “PayPal Friends / Family (“FF”) for payment, as it limits your refund recourse if the seller doesn’t deliver.
