***Mod Post*** Non-members: Please post here to Join
Read everything. Especially the red print.
As of April 2009, new memberships to the Garage Sale Japan selling community will be moderated in order to screen out potential scamming and spamming accounts.
To join:
- Please comment in this post with your request to join (click 'Post a new comment'), along with a link/evidence of feedback (this can be from ebay or other selling/trading forums/communities - as a buyer or seller).*** Your post will be screened.
- Then, immediately go here and click 'join community' (do not wait to be verified, that just slows us down from accepting you).
- Please make sure to also read and understand the GSJ community rules as stated here!
***Feedback requirements:
- At least 3 positive feedbacks from separate individuals (please DO NOT create feedbacks yourself e.g. by making dummy LJ accounts, we will know and your application will be immediately rejected!)
- If you are a new trader with no feedback (as a buyer or a seller), please state so, you may be requested to provide further information. If you can provide evidence of a separate personal journal that is regularly updated and not newly created, that will suffice as "proof" that your sales journal is not just an account made to scam.
Feedback verifications:
- we will PM all feedback accounts directly to verify the identity of the feedback holder. Please do not provide feedback links that could not be verified via PM or some other means.
- This includes:
- Dens of Angel feedback - unless your DoA feedback page has a direct link to your LJ account, we cannot accept your feedback.
Once we have received a reply to our PM, we will process your application.
Please allow up to 72 hours for the moderator to contact you.
Special Notes:
Do NOT reply to an unscreened comment unless it is to YOUR APPLICATION THREAD. You will know if it's yours if the questions pertain to you. To check if an unscreened comment is for you, please click 'parent', if you can't see the comment directly above it once you've clicked 'parent' then the unscreened comment was directed to someone else! If you reply to a comment that is not for you, your application WILL NOT BE PROCESSED!!!
If you do/did not follow all of the above steps, your membership will be rejected and a PM sent to you!
This means you will need to repeat all steps again!
You must provide feedbacks others left for you, NOT feedbacks you wrote for others!
Do not apply if you are unsure as to whether you wish to join. We usually have a large volume of applicants to process, processing your application when you will renege on it later will slow our process down.
Questions?
If you have questions/comments about this new moderating system, please ask a mod >>here<< or PM this account. This includes requesting updates for your application! DO NOT ASK questions in this thread unless you are posting further information in response to a moderator request.
***If you are already a member of Garagesalejapan - YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMMENT!!!!***
