General Rules

The Finds Treasure Forum Classifieds is for individual use only with the exception of banner advertising buyers. Those buyers may advertise their traded in, discontinued models, etc.

Individual sellers may post their normal unwanted detectors, or accessories in assigned classified forums, but they  cannot exceed (1) one item in a (3) three month period for each classified forum.

Only For Sale, For Trade, or Wanted to Buy ads are allowed.

Only Forum Members Registered for  90 days or longer that have more than 24 significant posts in our other forums, may post For Sale or Trade ads.

Rules for Non Sponsoring Sellers:

  • Items for sale, or for trade, should be your own personal property and be accurately described.
  • Your for sale or trade post should be self contained, without references to another site where you may also have it for sale.
  • Do not put links to eBay.
  • Do not put links to other forums where you may also have the same item for sale or trade.
  • Dealers are not allowed to post in Classifieds unless they are a sponsor.

Advertisements not adhering to the above rules will be deleted without warning or notification.

SOLD!

So if you buy a metal detector for say $500 and pay with paypal, the $500 dollars is deposited into the sellers paypal account but paypal deducts about $15 (2.9% plus 30 cents) so the seller only has about $485 in their account. Also, if the seller pays for shipping, this costs about $15, so they actually only get about $470 out of the sale... FYI I have a paypal premier business account so I can accept credit card payments for the courtesy of the buyers. This is why so many on ebay and on the forum on want money orders so they get all the money without paying for fees.


Here's the actual fee schedule from the paypal site:

if they want to have the ability to pay by credit card rather then diggin in the old overalls for the cash to get a money order.
 
That's still a very FAIR PRICE, considering the condition, shipping,
and packaging. A postal money order up to $500, ONLY COSTS the
purchaser a $1.00. HH, HAPPY NEW YEAR to A-L-L, Les
