Thanks PC! We had the exact same amount of fear, worry, and frustration when we launched the GFM system / feature and that has worked out really well for the community.
You got the nail on the head... there will be some bugs, kinks, and adjustment, but we do all these things for the...
UPDATE - All "Wanted To Buy" items MUST go into the new "Wanted To Buy" section here. They are not required to have the subject line "WTB" but that still might be helpful to add.

Payment is between the seller and the buyer and can be whatever they agree on... heck you could convert $'s to watermelons if that's an agreed upon payment.
If you only accept specific payment methods you need to post that in the body of your first post in the listing.
You can't store up listing "credit" to use them later. The count is form the time of the first post... i.e., a rolling 30 days and not a calendar month.

Shoot me a proposal, but that $29 has to cover the person that's going to keep those unix boxes taped together to run this site. I'll even pay for the electricity.
Regarding the auction with buy it now: That's called "best offer" and we tested it with the GFMs and we decided it was...

To clarify, I think Charlie is saying "new" websites are cheap.
I will gladly pay anybody $5,000 if they can legitimately find a way to run BYC (with the amount of visitors and processes / CPU / Memory it uses) for $29.00 a year.
Send me a pm if you have experience in this area and...

Your points have been taken into consideration like all the others, but comments like this are absolutely unfounded, unfair, and totally untrue. The extremely vast majority of everything on BYC and the forum is free. There are very few privileges we've removed or charged for over the...

haha... we can always count on our smart members to find loopholes.
Honestly, as long as it isn't abused, it should be okay. You loose out on using the new feedback section, and you can't always control if someone hits Buy It Now or not... but sure, give it a try.
Again, we're...

Additional pictures and information can be added to the first post. The picture loaded into the system is the "main" picture and will be used as we roll out new features.

Go ahead and list it. You have lots of choices, but here are the really easy ones:
1) List it up to 3...

If you prefer those systems, the audience, the prompt support (or lack thereof), and their final listing fees then we definitely encourage you to use them in addition to or in place of our system.
For clarification, this is similar to what ebay does. They charge per listing to encourage peeps to only list items that will sell. If your items don't sell you shouldn't keep posting them over and over every day... at least now without changing the price, details, quality, etc.
A lot of...

Thats a good idea if you are selling in bulk. You could list a "5 of any shirt" sale and peeps could contact you for sizes, colors, etc.

Yes, if you list an item and it doesn't sell it counts against you. One reason we are doing this is to reduce the amount of spam and...
