Leathercraft Forum Classifieds Posting Rules
Listing Rules
All listings must include a clear, posted asking price. Auctions and links to external auctions are strictly prohibited.
If offering a trade, you must still include a reasonable dollar value for the item being sold/traded.
Keep all price critiques, counter-offers, and detailed negotiations within Direct Messages (DMs). Do not clutter the thread with unsolicited offers or price commentary.
Your state of residence must be listed in your profile. Listings from members without this required information will be deleted immediately.
You must upload a photo of the actual item directly to the post. Linking to externally hosted images is not permitted.
Do not delete sold listings. Leave sold posts up for reference. Threads will automatically archive after 30 days of inactivity.
Maintain a respectful and professional tone. Disagreement or disputes should be handled privately and civilly.
Good Listing Checklist
Title - Must include Item Name, Condition, and state/key features.
Pricing - Must be a Firm Price or explicitly marked OBO. Bidding/Auction style is strictly prohibited.
Description - Accurate summary of item; clearly list all included accessories/parts.
Photos - At least one well-lit photograph of the actual item being sold.
Shipping & Payment - Specify accepted payment methods, carrier, insurance, and who covers shipping costs.
Common Sense Safety Guidelines
These guidelines are designed to protect you from fraud and ensure a safe transaction.
Payment Security
Use Traceable Payments Only - AVOID risky methods like Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal Friends & Family. Always use secure options that offer buyer/seller protection and have traceable transaction records.
Confirm the Recipient - Never send money to a third party or an unknown email address (e.g., a "friend's" or overseas/unverified account). Report these requests immediately.
Spotting Scams
Trust Your Instincts - If an offer, price, or request seems too good to be true, it almost certainly is a scam.
Verify High-Value Transactions - For any high-value item, or especially items like firearms, contact the buyer or seller directly (via phone or direct message) before finalizing payment.
Watch for Off-Site Requests- Be highly suspicious of new members who ask you to communicate or send payment via overseas or unverified email addresses.
Communication Rules
Keep Contact Private: Do not post your phone number or email address publicly in a listing or comment. Share personal contact details only through a Direct Message (DM) or direct, secure communication channel.
Report Suspicious Activity: If a new member asks you to email someone off-site, or if you encounter any suspicious activity, use the Report button immediately before responding.
Reporting Problems & Suspicious Activity
Report immediately if someone asks you to email a third party (a "friend," overseas contact, etc.) or suggests using untraceable payment methods (like Zelle, Cash App, or PayPal Friends & Family).
If you feel uneasy or suspicious about any transaction or user interaction, report it before proceeding or sending any funds.
The easiest way to notify moderators is to use the Report link available on any post or user message.
To help us investigate and act quickly, please include context, screenshots, or copies of Direct Messages (DMs) whenever possible.
If you have questions about posting or see suspicious activity, please contact the moderators or post in the Forum Announcements & Support.
Thank you for helping keep the classifieds safe, fair, and useful for everyone.
