[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Hi everyone,[/color][/font]
[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]This discussion left us with a lot to think about. [/color][/font]
[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/193461-bcs-new-classifieds-section-your-opinions-please/"]http://basschat.co.u...pinions-please/[/url]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Approximately 4% of members who have sold items on the website have donated and the income generated isn't enough to support ongoing development of the site. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]So as a follow up, we'll be introducing paid advertising to the marketplace.[/font][/color][list]
[*][i][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]A year of unlimited ads - [/font][/color][/i][i][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]£20[/font][/color][/i]
[*][i][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]One-off advert[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] - £7[/font][/color][/i]
[*][i][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Items under £50 are free[/font][/color][/i]
[/list]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]In addition we'll create a 'sell anything' forum where members who have subscribed can post anything (within reason) for sale. These items won't show unless you're signed in. There will be some minor changes to the Terms and Conditions to allow these changes to be managed in the event of misuse of the marketplace. You can see the new Rule 16 here: [/font][/color][url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=forums&module=extras§ion=boardrules"]http://basschat.co.u...tion=boardrules[/url]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]At first the only option to pay will be through PayPal (you don't have to have a PayPal account), but by next week we will also use a Worldpay option. [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Our thanks also to those who have so generously supported the site in the past financially and otherwise, we're really grateful for your contributions![/font][/color]
