[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1362595891' post='2001932'] I think that the making a charge for selling was inevitable really and I've no problem with paying if it means that the Forum keeps going. A question which I thought somebody else would have thrown in by now - what about people who put things up for trade only?? Is there going to be a charge for that? I think that the 4% statistic is a bit misleading too - how many of the 25,000 or so members are actually active - there are lots of members who haven't posted in years. [/quote] Hi, The 4% statistic was based upon users active in the marketplace over a recent period (I forget exactly) but bearing in mind how I emailed every single person who donated individually (and still do), I wasn't very busy! As for trade items, users state a trade value instead of a price. This will be made a little clearer in the next update when you post a listing. Cheers for the support ped

Thanks guys yes one of the first things we plan on doing is upgrading the mobile app a bit. I was going to 'promote' the new payment section a bit but actually I'm leaving it to naturally tick over to give a more realistic idea of how it will run.

[quote name='tedmanzie' timestamp='1362564696' post='2001278'] you're right - a user number does appear on my receipt. it seems like if i sign out, and then try to pay the subscription then it still directs me to paypal. so if you're not signed in, what user-info is the system collecting? note - this was just a test, i didn't complete the transaction. anyway, just a question, i expect its been tested. [/quote] Hi mate Yep that's right, the payment status is married to your user number, rather than user name. This means users may still change their username with no adverse effect on their payment status. Interesting point regarding the logged in/out bit. I'm changing it so only logged in users can proceed to payment. Thanks for raising it. ped

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362510250' post='2000532'] Cheers ped! I'm not about to sell anything just now, but I'll join in with the general BC love when I can. [/quote] We wouldn't be the same without you

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362509388' post='2000503'] Ah very good - I'll wait for this then if that's OK, as for very good reasons I absolutely loathe PayPal with a vengeance! [/quote] No problem at all - however if you want to list something now you can still use a debit card without having a PayPal account. Just click the second option on the paypal payment page (they've tried to hide it) Otherwise, feel free to get around to it when convenient for you. Cheers all ped

Hi guys As part of the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/cp/9-support-basschat/"]£20 'subscription' fee[/url] (although it's not a subscription, as such), you'll have exclusive access to a 'sell anything' forum which will be arriving probably tomorrow. Posts here will be visible to any logged in member (so not the general public) and only users with a £20 yearly payment against their name will be able to create threads in the forum. We thought it might be a nice thing to offer you in return for your support with the site and our development. Cheers ped

[quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1362499272' post='2000223'] As soon as paypal decide to give me the funds that have been placed in my paypal account for several items I have sold on here (something to do with being a new memeber of pp-bulls*it if you ask me), I shall be sending the 20 quid over to yourselves. Even if you don`t intened selling anything, it is worth it! In case I have missed it, how do you donate the money? Is it just through the donate button as normal? Forget the last statement. Ped answered the question as I was typing. [/quote] Hi mate Try the new 'Support BC' page at the top of the site. Thanks for that ped

[quote name='Badass' timestamp='1362499087' post='2000217'] Is there somewhere where we can see out subs? Even if it is a reminder as to when it is next due.... [/quote] I don't think there's anywhere on site - we were careful not to produce a system where you could identify those who have paid and those who haven't, however you could always keep your PayPal receipt as a reminder. Also remember we'll have a card payment gateway in the next week or so. Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the support everyone. Sorry about the site outage today. Please direct fellow low enders to the new 'support BC' tab at the top of the site. Cheers ped

Thanks guys Forgot to mention, the 'sell anything' forum is yet to arrive, it'll be here soon so you can flog your soiled undergarments etc Cheers ped

Existing listings will be left as they are

Wow guys. I've been away for a little while with I my phone access so I've missed out on all this. I've just read through all 7 pages and what a brilliant story so far. This is why basschat is the best forum out there. What a superb idea carried out with such spirit and passion. Long may this continue and now I'll read this every day. Cheers ped

Yeah I bet. Just trying to find some pictures.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1361969299' post='1993740'] I bet if Ashley Pangbourne started making basses again there are still plenty of people who would buy them . [/quote] Especially if they have graphite necks! I didn't know about those.

Lovely looking bass. Doesn't MK have one in the 'Sun Goes Down' video? I love the headstock, too. Cheers ped

We'd hope that anyone coming here to sell items around the £50-100 mark are probably selling other items too, or at least members who have signed up for more than to sell these small value items. In that case, a donation from them for the use of the forum in general is probably a reasonable ask. We can always adjust the prices and so forth at a later stage, but to begin with we can't customise it any more because we can't afford to do so, yet. Cheers

We should be able to get it fixed next week... Colin, send me any details you have and I can get the devs on the case as soon as we've paid them!
