Can someone explain how trades work. Does each party just ship each other the item?

Typically yes. Always ask for proof photos even in trades.

Depending on how high of a value an item is some people pay each other the value of said trade item(s) via PayPal or other payment processor until the trade is complete then send payments back to each other.

Also ask for feedback references either from here or elsewhere, many people use heatware.

All good advice.  If the item value is high enough, you can also have both parties ship to a trusted third party, who waits until both items arrive to then ship to their ultimate destination.  It'll cost a few more dollars in shipping and transit time, but the peace of mind may be worth it.

Great! Thank you both for your advice.

Thank you for this guide - it does unfortunately mean that I have to wait a bit given I am new around here  :

[ykilroy]

Thanks for explain.

Hi there - do I have to have a certain number of posts before I can create a thread here?

Oh, it's 25 posts. Sweet

[SpAmRaY]

Hmmmm, I just hit 25 - is there a delay?

Not every subforum counts towards post count.

And just an FYI even once you post the thread has to be approved by a moderator.

[glazed]

This is a very helpful guide. Now I know how to create buy and sell here.
Thanks for the write up!

[Kitchener]

This might be a stupid question, but do I also need to fulfill the minimum post requirements to post a WTB?
It’s just that the tutorial explicitly states “Sale” posts can only be posted by members who meet the minimum requirements 

I’m just desperate for a Nautilus Ergodox kit

Yes, you need to fulfill the post requirements to be able to post in the classifieds forum, whether it's a WTB or WTS thread

[derb2k2]

hey guys.

Is it ok to put up non-keyboard sale items such as a laptop? I vaguely remember it to be ok but want to be sure.

Thanks

This thread is garbage when you refuse to approve threads that follow all the guidelines, and don't reply to PMs. Are the mods here just incompetent or lazy? Both?

[efikeebs]

Thank you for your feedback, learn2timestamp

[colomb]

Looking for a little guidance. I've sold stuff here before without issue, but for some reason, my current post isn't being approved by the moderators. I've locked previous threads in the classifieds, and have a post count over 25. I'm sure I'm missing something. Have the requirements changed? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

[hzh0525]

Learned!

[transeurasian]

25 post count, gotcha 

[Neongreen]

Good to know, verification system feels safe as well.
