Trading Area Moderators, Rules, and Guidlines

[Iggytx]

Please read the statements below and keep them in mind when trading and purchasing:

MODERATORS:

• Trading Moderators: For any concerns, comments, reports, or issues involving the trading areas please contact iggytx or n8boss87. You may also contact Ju1cyfru1t if needed.

RULES:

• Paypal Surcharge Rule:Paypal's official rules state plain and clear that no "surcharge" of any kind may be used. If you do so wish to accept paypal make sure the only price you add to the disc is shipping unless, like most, shipping is included in disc price. This means if you accept multiple payment methods the price can not be raised for using Paypal.
  
  EXAMPLE:
  

  Disc 1 (sealed) - $15
  I accept RME, Amazon Gift Certificates, and Paypal. If you use Paypal add $1.

  Here at HighDefDigest we stand behind Paypal's "No Surcharge Rule" and plan to enforce it. You may report all violators the same as you do for any other infractions. All threads will be deleted that contain surcharges due to paypal. If you are a multiple offender, infractions will soon follow. Any questions or complaints don't be afraid to ask.
  
  
  From the Paypal Rules section
  

  5. No Surcharges. Under Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express regulations and the laws of several states, including California, merchants may not charge a fee to the buyer for accepting credit card payments (often called a "surcharge"). You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as payment. This restriction does not prevent you from imposing a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services, as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge (in other words, the handling fee for transactions paid through PayPal may not be higher than the handling fee for transactions paid through other payment methods). Nor does this restriction apply to Pound-denominated transactions by sellers residing in the United Kingdom listing items for sale on a UK-based website.

• INTERNATIONAL TRADING RULE: International members who reside outside of the US must let members know their country of residence before making a trade\sale\buy. This will also serve as a heads up to members who do not want to trade\buy\sell internationally, that they please list this in the first post of your buy\sell\trade\want thread. This way members who are international can know right away if the thread is valid for them, as some members may not wish to engage a trade outside of their home market or to certain territories based on shipping expenses and/or any associated risks.
  
  Remember, we have a global forum with members from all over the world. These new rules are not to single out any members or residents of any country, but rather to make the process smoother for everyone. Members please make sure that your listings are up to date and that any restrictions are clearly noted for all to see.
  
  
• EBAY THREADS: We have 2 official ebay threads, one in HD DVD exchange (LINK), and one in Blu-ray exchange (LINK). Feel free to post items you put up (in media categories like movies and games) in these two threads.
  
  Please do NOT start threads where it is just a link to items you have for sale on ebay. This is the trading/selling section, and not one for just advertising off site. Such threads will be deleted, not merged or moved.
  
  
• STREET DATE RULE: Do not post an item for sale or trade before it's official release date. Sometimes a store will violate street date, and if that happens, post a pic of receipt in thread. Threads containing items available before their release w/o proof will be deleted, no questions asked.
  
  
• ONE THREAD PER MEMBER ON ACTIVE FIRST PAGE RULE:
  It has been brought to our attention is that some users are maintaining multiple threads. This is taking up space and bumping other member's threads to the next page. Please only keep one thread per forum at a time (one in the blu-ray, hd dvd, and accessories each). If you have multiple items you want to add or there are additional changes start a new thread but let the old one die, or make the appropriate additions and/or changes to the existing thread (we as moderators can change titles if needed). If you have multiple threads on the main page we will delete them. Locking your existing thread on the main page to open a new thread does not negate this rule, as it is still two threads on the main page.
  
  
• NO THREAD HIJACKING RULE: There is no reason for a user to go into somebody else's thread and tell them where they can get that disc cheaper, or even worse, offer one in the other users thread. The member chooses the selling price and the other member chooses to purchase it at this price or not. Please report this if it happens.
  EDIT: This includes derailing the thread and insulting other members.

GUIDELINES:

• Always look for positive feedback. If they are new members ask about Ebay, Amazon, or other forums where they have been graded on their previous trades.
  
  
• Do not offer burned, bootleg, or back-up media product. Also, modified video game systems, or systems containing burned/back-up content are prohibited.
  
  
• Send money or check orders at your own risk!! Paypal will guarantee your money back (to an extent). It's always safe to use a payment option that guarantees protection on your money.
  
  
• If there are any issues please contact myself or another mod for this area about the issue. Do not publicly flame another member of these forums. Threats of any manner will result in immediate dismissal of your account from High Def Digest.
  
  
• Only start threads that are for trading, buying, or selling. Do not start threads commenting on other threads, users, or events -- this is not the area for it.
  
  
• High Def Digest takes *no* responsibility for transactions that go sour -- in other words, use this forum at your own risk. In the event that trades or sells do not go according to plan, please contact the mods in this section to work with both ends to attempt to get it resolved. If you are the reason for a transaction going "sour" (without a good excuse or resolution) you will be banned from High Def Digest.
  

Thank You.
