Business Advertising
These rules were put in place to preserve the financial status of this site. Hosting costs are VERY expensive. In order for us to continue providing it as a free service to users all over the world, we must generate some revenue. It's only fair that you, as a vendor, pay for promotion of your product.
1. We have MANY ways to allow you to promote your company. Please contact us at AutoAdvertiser@internetbrands.com for more information.
2. NO FREE ADVERTISING WILL BE ALLOWED!!! If you have a product you wish to promote to the RX-8 community, then you MUST purchase advertising on this site. This includes even if the product/service you're wanting to post is "just so you (or a friend) can help out members." You can be SURE that SOMEONE is making money, and to do that via our sites IS NEVER FREE. Sorry.
3. Group Buys for products ARE considered advertising, and must be paid for and arranged for via AutoAdvertiser@internetbrands.com. If you wish to organize a Group Buy, again please contact us at AutoAdvertiser@internetbrands.com for more information.
4. Effective 1/1/07, Group Buys (and in some cases, Forum Vendorship) may require that the vendor provide proof of identity, address, and contact information, and a copy of your business license if you have one. Please contact us at AutoAdvertiser@internetbrands.com for more information.
5. If you cannot reach us at AutoAdvertiser@internetbrands.com then DO NOT ASSUME it's ok to run your GroupBuy or Advertising. ANY Group Buys or Advertising NOT ARRANGED by AutoAdvertiser@internetbrands.com WILL BE REMOVED.
6. Paying site Vendors must follow the forum rules just like anyone else. If a vendor is found to not be following them, this may be considered to be a violation of Terms of Service and their access may be revoked. If this occurs, any money paid will NOT be refunded.
7. Vendors may not post in another vendor's private forum without permission from that vendor. That permission must be made known in advance to Administrators.
8. No vendor may post in another vendor's thread if that thread is about the vendors product and permission has not be given as stated above.
All posts in violation of rules 7 or 8 will be deleted. Any Vendor repeatedly violating these rules will be considered to be in violation of Terms of Service and their access may be revoked. If this occurs, any money paid will NOT be refunded.

Classified Section Rules
- No Dealers in the classified sections. A dealer is defined as anyone who is selling more than 2 of the same product, or who repeatedly has items for sale.
******************************************************************************************************************
- If possible try to make the deal in person.
- If something sounds too good to be true it probably is.
- It is HIGH RECOMMENDED that you use an Escrow service, such as https://www.escrow.com/ or http://www.safefunds.com/ to handle money.
- If you're using Paypal only accept money from verified buyers, if you're selling accept from verfied sellers. You have been warned.
- If you decide to conduct the transaction over the internet try to cover yourself. Keep track of ALL correspondence! If you have any doubts try using an escrowe service for anything that costs more than $100 and is being shipped.
- Buyers MUST keep a record of their payment whether it's a copy of a money order or a paypal email (Save the original email along with all of it's headers). Make sure it has the seller's name on it.
- Sellers MUST USE a traceable method of shipment and remember to write the buyer's address on it. This usually only costs a few bucks extra. - If you get ripped off, it is recommended that you retain an attorney, contact your local law enforcement agencies, and contact the FBI Internet Fraud Complaint Center here http://www.ic3.gov/ .
- RX8Club.com has no obligation to help you arbitrate an issue or dispute with someone selling items via the Classifieds section. If you have problems, it will be up to you to work them out with the seller.
******************************************************************************************************************
- RX8Club is not a general classified ad site; please do not post for sale ads for your used car (unless it's an RX-8), your apartment for sublease, or your used furniture, etc. These types of ads will be removed. For instance, in the Parts for Sale forum, the forum is ONLY for the sale of RX-8 and rotary powered vehicle parts, or things that could be used with the vehicle. In the RX-8s For Sale forum, the forum is ONLY for the sale of rotary engine powered vehicles.
- No "How much is this car worth?" type threads. To determine this, do a basic scan on Autotrader.com, Ebaymotors.com, etc. to figure out what the average price is for a given car. Threads posted here asking our members to estimate the value of your car will be deleted.
- No selling stuff on behalf of other people. If they can't sell it themselves that's their own problem. Don't make it yours.
- No thread crapping. If you think something is over priced the seller will usually figure this out pretty quickly.
- No thread hijacking. (when someone posts a FS/WTB/FT thread and you post 'me too!')
- All items MUST have an asking price.
- All FS/FT/WTB threads MUST list where you are located in the heading of the thread by either City/State or Zip code.
- This is not an auction site. DO NOT DIRECTLY LINK YOUR PRODUCT TO EBAY
- Try to make your buy/sell/trade post subject look something like this:
> state if it is FS/FT/WTB (ForSale/ForTrade/WantToBuy)
> describe the product
> state the price (With currency) (if it's a FS ad)
> state the location
> state iff you are willing to ship
> remember a picture is worth a thousand words
> use the specific section, put them where it belongs(3rd gen in 3rd gen section and so forth)
- Remember, there are people from all over the world here so remember to specify the currency.
- Try to keep the number of NEW threads to a mininum per member (if you have 5 different things to sell at once don't put post 5 different threads).
- No excessive thread bumping, a bump every 2 or 3 days is fine.
- Please don't bother the site owner/moderators with things that aren't from this board. If you meet someone and they sell you something extra that's your problem.
- Remember moderator(s) don't get paid a cent for policing this, so keep that in mind when you complain to the admin(s)/moderator(s)!
- No
> illegal software
> Dangerous, counterfeit or stolen goods
> Goods which do not actually exist
> Food item
> Alcoholic beverages
> Cigarettes or any other tobacco products
> Pharmaceuticals or any other controlled substance
> Any good that infringes or violates anyone's rights
> Any item which in RX8CLUB's sole discretion is inflammatory, offensive or otherwise inconsistent with RX8CLUB's standards of business ethics.
> Any messages, data, or images that might be considered by a reasonable person to be obscene or which contain racial, ethnic, religious slurs or derogatory epithets, or advocating violence, hate or other language that is deeply or widely offensive.
- If you are found to be ripping anyone off you will be put on the 'good guy/bad guy' section by the buyer and be banned.
- Remember to always leave a feedback after a transaction in the Good Guy/Bad Guy forum
- If you sell your item(s) please notify others by posting an update
