Do you need the 6 months and permission to start a thread if you're looking for something to buy? Or is it just if you're posting something you want to sell?

Yes; there's a link in the sticky.

I think we should a new feature to this forum. Before you respond to a post you should have to check a box that says I have actually read the post that I am replying to and to the best of my knowledge I am a giving a correct response. That way idiots like me dont give the wrong response when we thought we read something different than we actually did.

Cliffs Notes:

Yes - you have to be Marketplace approved to open a new thread.

No - you don't have to be Marketplace approved to post in an existing thread.

You can't just yet. Read the rules/sticky for details

"WTB PSP"

But you may as well just wait until somone puts one up rather than start a thread anyway.

unfortunately no, you have to be marketplace approved to start threads or solicit that kind of thing. Sorry.

I was kinda wondering about this too. How exactly does an escrow work, and what is the purpose of one?

Apologies in advance for asking something that is probably so basic that I should undoubtedly already know anyway.

Escrow is two parties doing business through a trusted middleman. Usually as it is here, the escrow holds the money while the item ships. Once the buyer gets the delivery, the money held in escrow is released to the seller.

Of course, two relative unknowns who don't know anyone aren't getting an escrow, but that comes with the territory. In that case you might have to bite the bullet and use paypal as a middleman or something like that, if you're looking to do a bigger deal. But doing escrows for random unknowns is pretty dumb the way things are, nothing but downside.

It doesn't matter what it is, there's still a 6 month membership requirement.
