If selling an item on an open forum the sale should be kept open to all potential buyers. It is not fair to all interested parties if the sale goes private through PM's. Rules should be in place to prevent this. Not saying that closeing a deal can not be handled through PM's, sometime private info is traded through the close of a sale. But if posted on an open forum then the sale is open to all parties viewing the post, and only deals closed on the open forum should be considered good closed deals. Take it how you want to, but good business is good business no matter how you look at it. Another thing that needs to be addressed is the charge of PayPal fees, their is a federal law to charge fee's for credit or debit transaction fee to the buyer. includeing PayPal transactions. This is common practice on this site, not on any other site I'm subscribed to.
