The only thing I can't do as a Member of this Forum and a Supporting Member is leave Feedback for the people I've done business with in the Classifieds. Both Buying and Selling. I'm not a verified member but I've done well over 10 transactions in the last 2 weeks and had nothing but positive and glowing feedback left for me. It makes me feel so bad that I'm not allowed to leave feedback for them in exchange.

Once you are verified you can go back and leave feedback.

Wow! - interesting MM ... *as I slowly toke on a vanilla throw away while I wait for my dinner to finish cooking*

Your avatar doesn't house the notorious "Verified Member" stamp of approval and yet you are able to buy and sell in the ECF classifieds and those on the other side of your transactions had no issue with that.

Very cool! - Perhaps the seller that I am currently in talks with is either a tad green in this area of selling to a non VM or perhaps just a bit over cautious.

I didn't want to make this situation bigger than it really is, I just want to do piece of hassle free business, get my gear and vape happily ever after. - Well I'd still cruise the boards, engage in some mindful posts and bust a few won-tons here n' there... :p

But yes, I realize that this is no fairytale and there can be thorn bushes in any exotic garden.

I shot the seller a PM a few hours ago and explained the situation to him. (Yes I have read all the posts and stickies supplied in the classified section of the forum)

I must say that over the last few weeks, this has been one of the most unsynchronized experiences that I've had in a long, long time.

Some examples (for your entertainment purposes only) not naming names, just situations:

Want to purchase a mod and most of the accessories for it in one place so as to not have 7 orders draped over multiple vendors at the same time. I know, I know, I could've just bought an eGo Kit and been done with it already which I came an RCH away from doing, but I opted not to take the commercial route.

Put in my orders: Oh.... 5 days and my order is still processing.... very nice. When will my order finally be received?

"Sorry out of stock on those batteries, but we can sell you these instead"

If I wanted those batteries, I would have ordered them to begin with. You really shouldn't list items as available when you can't produce them on demand. I know... just trying to offer the customer every available option....or lose the non demanded baggage.... uhh huh!

Some items listed (not as out of stock or discontinued) are still shown as an available item for sale until you would like to purchase it. Then you find it's unavailable when you go to purchase it in yee ol' shopping cart.

Items listed as "out of stock" for over a month... How long does it take to restock an item? - Grocery stores couldn't get away with that nonsense. I mean, can you see yourself going out to dine at a nice steak house and winding up with a bowl of pasta because the house is out of steak, or the chop meat delivery guy didn't show up this morning or stirring your after dinner coffee with a candy cane because they forgot to order enough sugar.... c'mon man! Get it together!

I say if you know you are going to be out of stock on a specific item(s) for a period of time take the damn thing out of the mix and remove it from the site until you have it to sell. - This happens more than I care to count.

I'm just thankful that there ain't no bones in ice cream cones....

Anyway... that's the basic idea of how this whole vaping experience has been going for me the past few weeks....

It's literally been a real drag ... :vapor:

But I'm a power optimist. I believe that the glass is "definitely" half empty. Just kidding.... more like 3/4.

Well, that's it for now. Dinner's done.... gonna go feast.

Peace-

Thanx MM ... LMAO - Lemmy says..... Hey back (in his gravelly voice).

Oh and I did just receive a PM from j0ker... he's a swell guy. I feel relieved now to know that he is safe and sound.... in the comfort of his own home... and didn't get swept away by a band of rouge gypsies ... :p

Apparently my information needed to be tweaked... hence the whole reason for creating this thread in the first place. Go figure.

Peace-

*Pretends to be a pretty troll*

Other then PP and Ebay, the only other way to get verified is through other Members. Which I consider a hard and arduous journey compared to how easy it is to get verified through the other methods.

The purpose of this post: I think there should be at least 2 other options for Verification, especially for those who don't wish to use Paypal or Ebay.

Just my 2 :2c: I'll crawl back under the bridge now.

I would also like another method to be verified. I'm not too keen on linking my bank account to paypal. I have a specific card that I use for online purchases. I'd be happy to send ECF a copy of my id or whatever. Where is joker accepting other suggestions for verification?

Hey Foggy,

Visit this link (on the bottom of this post) and read everything on the page you are directed to....

Fist some things you should know before you embark on your journey....

Just so you know.... j0ker gets spooked very easily and he's not a huge fan of fly by visitors so you need to ease into the situation. When you get through to the bottom of the page.... you'll begin to see an outline of a very, very large square shaped box. Continue down a little further until you wind up at j0ker's front door.... don't ring the bell.

There's a secret knock. Knock two times with your left hand and 4 times with your right.

You'll hear a little squeaking (don't worry... it's safe to continue) there's a very small crease down the right side of the page. It's not noticeable unless you know that its there. Push the crease in slightly, then the page should pop open.

You'll then see a wooden handle attached to a shiny metal crank. Grab the crank handle with both hands and rotate the crank in a clockwise rotation until you hear the music start to play. Continue rotating the handle into the third stanza of the song (try not to sing along or hum if you forgot the words.... you may startle the j0ker). At the very end of the 4th verse...... the j0ker will appear on the upbeat (you've been given fair waning). State your business and the best of luck to you.

Our prayers are with you child.... Godspeed !!!!
