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.

I get that you are paying him after you receive the first batch.

I just want to know when YOU want payment for the next round of orders. If you want me (for example) to pay you before you ship to me, fine. You could send pics or similar for proof. I'd be very wary of sending money before he shipped though. I think you should be wary also.

What if I (again, for example) send you money for Ipods, and you then order from this guy in Italy. He never ships them. Now I'm going to go after YOU because I paid you, not the guy.... this would be bad for you obviously. If I paypal'd you, I have a legitimate case against YOU, not the guy in Italy. Now you're screwed out of how much money....

Get what I mean?

Okay.. then think about it this way.

Why would you risk losing several thousand dollars of your own money to MAYBE receive a lot of iPods that you will be reselling to Xbox-Scene members, when you could *not* risk losing several thousand dollars, and just spend a few hundred on an iPod?

Also, as mentioned above, the fact that you're dealing through WESTERN UNION across INTERNATIONAL borders basically means you can get fucked over several different ways.

If you're convinced this this legit, by all means, place your orders... but take a few days to think about it at least. You could lose a LOT of money.

That's a great gesture, but then you'd be out money. That's not really fair to you.. which is partially my point.

I stand by that this is a scam, but if it works out, awesome. I just hope you (or others) don't get scammed.

YEAH MAN SOMETIMES I JUST CLOSE MY EYES ON THE HIGHWAY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!!


/sarcasm



Take the case of an ipod mini, the high price of the 4gb of flash memory alone shows that this can't be real. Not to mention the marketing and accessorys. I couldnt find exactly how much it costs apple to make each ipod mini, but the shuffle has only a 40% profit margin.

I understand, you could come out very well on top. But I hate seeing people ripped off.

http://home1.gte.net/johnfull/n242.htm -> Basic Tips for Spotting Possible Fraud
Please at least skim the first points. Later on it only talks about eBay but the first part is relevant for everything.

Another page: http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...rid=**general**

# Why This Scam Works: This scam plays on the human desire to get as much for nothing as possible.
# Western Union is NOT a secure way to transfer money. No ID is required to pick up a Western Union payment, only the transfer ID number.
# People hear "Free [or cheap] Shipping", knowing that it must be expensive to ship express from overseas. The buyer is thus more than happy to pick up the relatively small Western Union fee.
