it pretty much already is, and it’s really not worth enforcing… to what end? it will make negotiations less frustrating maybe, but what benefit is it to the mods? and, i don’t see it weeding out too many scammers. again, i know plenty of primo folks that bst this way - but i can view it from some buyer’s perception as well… besides, if i see that in an ad, i consider that additional room for negotiation anyway :wink:

adding more rules… requiring g&s, how would that even be enforced, and by whom? we have veterans that aren’t following the existing rules… @codinghorror had a great point the other day, their are puh-lenty of other bsts, but i think he was thinking about it incorrectly. sure there are others, but this is one of the highest quality. if you’re going to put rules in place, make rules that will contribute to the overall quality of the bst. even the point leveling system, 2, 3, 4… it’s essentially meaningless… give me a weekend and a stack a bananas, i’ll train a monkey to give enough likes to be on the bst…

> - Listed prices will always be assumed to **include continental US shipping** unless you state otherwise. If you have special shipping costs, you must clearly state that in your listing.
> - If paying money versus trading YoYoExpert highly recommends using **PayPal ‘Goods & Services’** ’ as a payment option. If seller requests ‘Friends & Family’ payment be aware there is no protection from PayPal or the forum if the trade should go bad. A payment sent via ‘Goods & Services’ means PayPal will support you when something is lost or not received as expected. If seller feels it necessary they should include the PayPal ‘fees’ as part of purchase price. Paying using ‘Friends & Family’ is at your own risk.
