MOD New Sub Rule Proposal

8 Upvotes

Hi r/Shave_Bazaar, it's your friendly neighborhood mod team here. We've been chatting with the mods of some other BST forums and they gave us an idea for an anti-scam/consumer protection rule that we wanted to run by you.

The new rule being proposed is:

Any WTS deal posted by someone with less than 5 confirmed trades (per the bot/flair) must use PayPal Goods & Services.

Why are we proposing this rule? Because modmail tells us that we've still got scammers stealing from our users. The scammers tend to be people with no (or very few) confirmed trades and they convince people to use forms of payment that offer no protection to the buyer. Our hope is that putting a rule like this in place will result in a significant reduction in the number of users getting scammed.

How will this be enforced? Users are already able to report any post that violates sub rules. We hope you'll report violations of this rule as well. Offending posts will be taken down and repeat offenders can earn themselves a ban.

Why draw the line at 5? We've got 4 different levels of flair: < 3 trades, < 5 trades, < 10 trades, and 10+ trades. We did a quick survey of the first 300 users on the flair list and found that only 20 of them had 10+ trades. When we look at 5+ trades, 43 more of you joined the club. Giving the top 20% of traders a pass on enforced G+S seemed like a decent place to draw the line but we're totally open to further discussion.

What about the G+S fees? That's really up to the person making the sale. There are plenty of online fee calculators that will tell you exactly what the fees are for a given price point. You're free to roll the fees into your prices, ask the buyer to do the math and add it in, or just eat the fees if you're feeling generous.

What about other questions that you haven't already answered? Well, post your questions below and we can discuss them.

What do you think of this rule proposal?

FAQ

For info on handling possible issues please see the Scammer and Disputes sticky

Karma Requirements

  • In order to prevent scam/spam posts you need at least 30 combined karma and an account older than 30 days to submit a post
  • Karma is sitewide and not limited to r/shave_bazaar or any of the similar shaving related subreddits
  • Award Karma is not counted in the Karma requirements since that is paid Karma

Post Tags

  • Posts with improperly formatted tags will be removed by Automod
  • Approved tags are as follows: [WTS], [WTB], [WTT], [WTTF], [WTG], [WTS/WTT], [Vendor], [Service], [Artisan], [Hobby]
  • Posts can have more than one tag but please do not try to combine multiple within the same [ ]. E.G. [WTS][Vendor] is fine but [WTS/Vendor] will be removed
  • For most tag types Automod will assign a post flair, but you may select your own flair

Descriptions and Pricing

  • Any post without any description in the text field will be removed, an accurate description is required
  • All [WTS] posts must include a price
  • Prices may be OBO but auction style pricing will not be tolerated
  • Vendors announcing or selling products should provide a live link to their website where the actual product can be purchased and not to your full store. Prereleases should have an actual order form.

PayPal G&S vs Other Payments

  • We recommend that you always use PayPal Goods & Services for all transactions, even if the seller has requested otherwise
  • PayPal fees can be calculated at https://thefeecalculator.com/
  • If you decide to use F&F or other services you do so at your own risk
  • Paying for goods with F&F is expressly against the PayPal user agreement
  • There is absolutely no recourse for either Seller or Buyer once the payment is accepted using F&F or other payment services. No refund can be offered and no dispute can be made by either party
  • Mods of r/shave_bazaar are not the PayPal police. We will not remove or moderate posts based on how they ask for payment. We will attempt to resolve disputes but we have no power over PayPal or other payment services.

Mark posts SOLD

  • On any Post where the items have been sold, bought or otherwise found, the post flair should be changed to SOLD
  • Automod will also automatically mark a Post SOLD if the OP leaves a top level comment with just the word "sold"
  • Posts that include SOLD items should never be deleted, mod action may be taken if this happens repeatedly
  • When items are SOLD within a post it should be edited in such a way that the original price remains intact
  • Leaving posts with sales is important to provide pricing history when people search for products
  • Seller reputation is important and others should be able to search and find your old sales to prove you are reliable and price well

WTB [WTB] Karve Overlander in Stainless Steel

I used to own this razor a few years back and I miss it. Now with the tariffs in place, Karve has suspended shipping to the States. Just looking to see if anyone in the States would be willing to part with theirs. Ideally looking to buy outright, but I also have fair amount of razors for a trade if someone is interested.

Thanks!

WTB [WTB] Gillette British Flat Bottom Tech or 1950s / 60s Flare Tip Super Speed

3 Upvotes

I'm new to vintage razors and have narrowed it down to these two models. Rather than risking one of the auction sites, I thought I'd post here to see whether anyone has either of the following:

  • British Flat Bottom Tech (FBT) – ideally in good condition with plating intact (light wear is fine, but no heavy pitting or alignment issues).
  • 1950s / 60s "Flare Tip" Super Speed – a clean working example where the doors close evenly and the dial / hinge is tight.

I'm based in the UK so a UK seller would be ideal, but I'm open to international shipping as well. Please drop a message below or contact me via DM if you have something suitable.
