questions regarding the new verification for selling and buying

[AnilomNor]

hey,
i am a little confused about getting verified for selling and buying. i need help. i have looked at the list of ways to get verified and i dont think that i qualify for any of them. i have sold a few things on this forum and never had any problems - what do i do if i dont have a bank account for paypal so i cant get verified?
-what do i do if i am not an ebay seller so i dont have a positive seller feedback?
-what do i do if i dont have enough connections to super members because i have sold to people who are just members?
i am lost and i still have other things that i would like to sell and buy on this forum - please help my GG friends!
i dont know what to do
thanks!
Nor

Become a Supporting Member.
I think it's 25 bucks. The only downside is you can't leave feedback.

 

[AnilomNor]

I am a supporting member and can leave it. It's a great deal; increased message storage and a few others like less avatar restrictions. For a couple of bucks a month you can't go wrong

If you have 20 or more Ebay positive transactions, just fill out this form: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/forms.php?do=form&fid=7

My only issue is basically we have to give up all valuable info for identity theft just to be able to look at buying something here. I can understand making verification for sellers but not to be able to purchase.

unfortunately i am not a seller or buyer on ebay

No, I don't think that's the case anymore (though somebody might need to confirm). If I understand the announcement correctly, it is now only verified members who can see the classifieds section. Prior to the other day, being a supporting member was enough to be able to post in there, but as I understand it this is no longer the case. "verified" is a whole separate animal from "supporting"

I'm not doing it lol. I figure its best do i won't be tempted, wife not liking it too much

If you have sold here, have three verified members "vouch" for you then fill out an address card that is sent to you. Here are the rules:

Second Method: Vouching Verified Member Verification

**The members you select for vouching must be "Verified" members. Verify this before sending the request.**

Step 1: For members whom have over 30 days of membership, no serious infractions, and have three (3) "Verified" Super members whom will verify their identity, may also become verified through this process. It is important that before using a member as a voucher, that they are aware that are requesting they vouch for you. A simple PM saying "Hey, we've bought and sold to each other, would you consider vouching for me?" or something similar. If a member really doesn't know you, don't bother sending them a request. The members you select will be contacted and explained the request, along with the opportunity to revoke their vouch.

**NOTE: Before vouching for a member, understand that your verification status could be in jeopardy should there be reports of fraud against the member you are vouching for.

Step 2: Once we've confirmed you have 3 legitimate vouchers, we will send you an email confirming step 1 complete. We will then mail a code (3 to 5 business days) to the address you have used in your application. Once you have received the code, you will need to send an email to j0ker @ e-cigarette-forum . com (no spaces) stating the code that you received in the mail. This confirms the address you have given us is valid. For this service, we will request you send $1 to cover the expenses incurred to send the code (postage, paper, envelopes,...etc). This will be requested in the email confirming step 1 complete, mentioned in the beginning of this step.

This process will be the least easiest and will take more time to verify your identity. Once you have been accepted through the vouch process and we have received the correct code, you will be notified and your account will be upgraded.

If any of your information changes regarding the information provided in the verification form, it will be necessary to resend the information to update our records.

so if i become a supporting member, i will be verified and able to buy and sell? sorry im still confused - im a little slow lol

No, Killjoy is right. Supporting member has nothing to do with being verified. I merely say being a SM is a good deal. I forgot all about the deadline and come yesterday I couldn't see the forum. When I finally got over my "DUH Moment", I got verified in a few hours.

I am the following:

Ultra Member
Verified Member
ECF Veteran
Supporting Member

...without Verified the forum is hidden

I'm ready to verify myself but I noticed that the verification page where we enter our personal information is not secure (httpS). Is there any way I can call to give my information? I've emailed the mods about this but I haven't received a reply yet.

 

[fright88]

Ok you guys have me confused now lol. I can see the Member Classifieds and Swaps forum but not the Classified and Co-op forum but I have been Verified and a supporting member for a while now. Should I be able to see it or am I just not understand something?

I like the way you think.

Same here! I might do it in the future, but I figure I can probably just buy my stuff new and not worry about anything in the first place.

 

[AnilomNor]

ok thanks for letting me know!
