No i meant the fishing forums i frequent lol im not on any other shaving forums.
I get where youre coming from bud and i respect the rules etc.

I understand mate. Stick around the knowledge our members have is second to none.

You didn't used to be able to use Paypal gift payments here either but it caused complaints. Unfortunately some people then got scammed and because they'd sent payment as a gift had no comeback.

I must admit on the BST thing, I did message a few people who were selling on other forums, introduced myself and asked if they would sell to a noob they didn't know, making it clear I wouldn't be offended if they said no
It is a leap of faith to send something to someone you dont know and as has been mentioned, when dealing with items costing hundreds of pounds it pays to be careful

Not playing devils advocate but maybe it should be opened sooner to newbies, or has there been trouble in the past?

There was a spot of trouble a little while back, that's what caused the rule tightening IIRC. Agree with the general sentiment though, the BST has been dead since then really.

Damned if we do, damned if don't. Rock and a hard place. Etc etc...

Maybe the Buy could be visible for everyone but restricted posting, with the T hidden in a different more restricted section?

Far too much effort for the couple of us that's regularly on here.
