Xbox-Scene is not responsible for any transactions, or any actions of it's members in this forum whatsoever!

Anyone choosing to conduct any sort of transaction with another member on XS does so at their own risk and expense.

As individuals, you need to take responsibility for your own actions, and you need to take responsibility for the fact you are dealing with strangers on the internet. Xbox-Scene is not a professional Sales service.. and is provided free and without any kind of warranty. We also will not ban people because you claim they ripped you off. Do NOT send the the "evidence" as we simply do not have the time, manpower, or will to follow through on your complaints. We have no intention of mediating any more disputes.

If you are ripped off, the only thing you are allowed to do on XS is to report it in the thread of the seller/buyer/trader ONCE. Alternatively you can make a note in your signature stating your grievance with the user. What you cannot do is spam other XS forums with your complaints. Do not make threads complaining about transaction that have gone bad. Do NOT contact staff complaining that a user has ripped you off. Do NOT make new threads in this or any other XS forum complaining about the "user" that ripped you off.

Xbox-Scene Does not recommend or endorse the use of the XS BST forums unless you are willing to take responsibility for your own actions, and you assume all risk. We do however recommend that people who wish to assume that risk should research the people they are dealing with, and alternatively search out and use professional Sales forums.(many of which offer the services and customer protection you keep asking us for here on XS but will NOT get here!)

People who continue to ignore the clearly posted rules and post complaints all over the place despite moderators and staff closing and moving them.. expect two things to happen.. the person complaining (and not necessarily the accused) will have their account closed, and that BST will get closed altogether. XS has already dedicated too much time and human resources to maintaining this area of the site. If it continues to be a problem we will close it.

Also.. do not ASK for any expansion of the BST type forums as we have no intention of adding forums to this area, or to expand the services provided.

Feel free to LIST your XBOX or XBOX item for Buy, Sell or Trade. others can feel free to offer any number of legal items (under the XS rules of course) or cash in trade. What people cannot do, is start new thread, and offer NON xbox items. Period. No new threads with people offering non-XBOX stuff.

UPDATE:Getestore and Similar “store” / commissioned pre-made store type concepts – No Commission Based Sales. Period. This is pretty much a BST and BST360 specific rule. Any products offered for sale should be in direct possession by the seller. From now on, and new post in any of the BST sales type forums on XS, must list the products and merchandise in their entirety in the post on XS, or don’t bother posting at all on our site. To be perfectly blunt, XS is not here for you to make money. XS sponsors are the only exception to this rule. The items listed in any sales thread or post on XS, must actually be in the possession of the person(s) listing it for sale or trade. Selling items for a 3rd party business via a commission based "Ready Made Internet Store" does not constitute owning the stock, and will result in a closure of the thread, and possibly the account. We want members to be directly accountable for any actions/tractions they conduct on our site.

UPDATE JAN 2007: Do not start threads asking "what can I get for 5$, 10$ etc" as staff will close them and make a ban req on your account. when making a new post, either Offer to sell a product, or trade a product. If you want to buy something.. go into an existing thread and make an offer on a product or service. DO NOT MAKE NEW THREADS ASKING WHAT YOU CAN GET FOR $5 bucks etc.

Do Not Offer to Buy, Sell, or Trade GameFly Subscriptions. Members can get their own subscriptions.

UPDATE: XS will not DELETE threads on demand. Even in light of the Raids on US shops. You can request it be removed/made invisible, however, we will keep it open for 30 days if you do so, allowing those you have serviced can comment, communicate, and / or complain or raise issues. We can make some requested edits though of info you posted, however, we will keep it on file. Note, deleting or removing your thread at this point is too little, too late. the authorities have that info already, and worse, every search engine and spider crawler on the net has it archived.

The profit margin on iPods is low; you won't get those prices wholesale.

Do this if you want to never see your money again.

What perplexer said. Apple employees seem like even they are getting ripped off if what you posted is real.

yeah, i emailed him confirming the prices. he said they were real, but who wouldnt, and he only accepts western union. ill try to get some refs just in case. who knows

EDIT:whoa, hes a fast reply.

Yes sir it has no protection for the buyer but i will offer you one.
For your safety i have one proposal for you:
Make the payment through Western Union.
On the money transfer paper from Western Union on the
SENDER column please write your name and address.
On the RECEIVER - instead of my name, write your wife
name or brother or other name that you want and my
address.
After you make the transfer you will reply with the
sender name, receiver name and MTCN. With this
information i will check the transfer.
After you receive the packages you will give a call
and change the receiver name at Western Union to my
name . This way i can pickup the money only after you
receive the package.
This is a safe method for both. (i know that you
made the transfer, you see what you get)
After you receive the package if something is wrong
with the item you will take back the money.
I will pay for all other shipping charge back to my
location.
Waiting your reply
Thank's

you sure you're not getting yourself in a scam? theres many guys on irc and sites claiming to sell ipods and such for cheap prices and only accept western union.

i wouldn't trust him if its western union only, you have been warned

It's a scam. Ask the guy what country he is from; chances are high that he'll say Romania. Even if you send him money under a family members name as the reciever, all he needs is the confirmation number to claim the money. You'll lose the money and he will stop talking to you.

Western Union is a scammers best friend


Not trying to be a ass to you Arjun, but I and many of my bulk customers chose to use western union or a money order, due to paypal's fees. Also, what country is he from? I would be interested in a few...if I see pictures..etc. If he can ship first, then I am more then interested.

EDIT: he's from Italy..I don't play around with money..I want pics..names..hm time to get voip ;0

CNN News Story on Romania Scams

The more questions you ask this person to help verify if he is the legit the less patience he will show for you. Eventually giving an ultimatum of either buy now or don't e-mail him anymore.

No offense taken. I didn't mean to call you or your friends scammers. But if some one wants to sell you a 300 dollar item for 100 bucks, asking to be paid by Western Union doesn't make you feel anybetter because it isn't exactley the most secure way.
