Title: Trade Section Payment System
Post by: Neil on July 20, 2010, 11:00:06 AM
Ladies and gentlemen of the forum.  MTO is getting bigger and better but this comes at a price. Specifically the price for bigger servers and more bandwidth.

As such from here on in we are implementing an honour based payment system for using the trade section.

This won't be done formally and no one is going to come knocking at your door if you don't pay up on time but you know its the right thing to do :)

Suggested voluntary donations are as follows..

An item selling for under $10 make a $1 donation.
An item selling for under $50 make a $2 donation.
An item selling for over $50 make a $3 donation.

When doing trades/swaps the person who puts the tool up for trade or the person who requests a particular item would be the one to make the donation.  Value of donation based on value of the tool.


Money can be sent via the Donations  (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php?action=treasury)option on top of the screen. Also every donated $10 makes you eligible for the monthly Donations draw prize. Please ensure that you take credit for your donation- if you donate as Anonymous, we can't include you in the Donation Draw.

If you don't feel you are able to make such donations then why not use EDCS (http://www.edcsource.com/index.php) instead.  Right now there is no charge to list and fees are only payable on items over $49.  Long term using EDCS (http://www.edcsource.com/index.php) will benefit the forum even more than making donations from the trade section so why not give it a go :tu:

Whilst EDCS is still young and people are not yet in the habit of checking it regularly, it'd be a good idea to list your auctions in the Deals and Auctions section and include links.

Thanks for your support.

I like this system much better than the other forums where they make you become a merchant or vendor for a hefty fee and everyone gets barked at whenever there is talk of a deal going down.
