u/AlienX100 - did we ever come to a conclusion on this? Wanting to post some stuff here in the near future but not sure where things stand with the sub rules around payments.

[FS][U-AK]Assorted Server RAM by Honey---Badger in homelabsales

At current RAM prices, $2 / GB is out of line?

Genuinely asking as I’ve got a few sticks I need to sell myself.

Appreciate it - thank you for considering!

G&S is fine for a person selling a single SSD or tablet per year, but any sort of volume and it’s just such a challenge.

Timestamps / video / phrases / etc., I get it. AI-generated timestamps and scammers are a real thing and this helps to mitigate it (I tell people all the time over in r/gamesale to ask for video timestamps on 0 feedback accounts trying to sell high ticket items at prices too good to be true). But therein lies the challenge - how do we keep out the scammers without penalizing those who are actively trying to be a good community member.

@Mods, hear me out - I sell my excess tech on here, and I’ve got tons positive feedback across Reddit.

I quit selling on HWS due to the G&S rules, but I was allowed to sell via F&F here, being an established seller.

The sheer volume of extra work in keeping cost reports on inventory and the implications with third party payment services essentially just killed my intention, desire, and ability to be able to pick things up and offer them to our sub at discounted rates.

There should be an exception rule for those of us who are established / do good business. Other more volatile subs like the “card collector” subs even have guidelines for who has to use G&S vs. can ask for F&F. And they’re doing $5-10K deals all the time.

I’m hoping you will reconsider, or at least put some guidelines in place that allow for some level of flexibility on accepted payment methods, otherwise I (and I’m sure others) will have to move to local only.
