Checkmate-Boats Marketplace-Buy & Sell Forum Rules - Important!

Our Marketplace Buy & Sell forums, are provided on an as-is, free basis, for our members and are for personal use only. Commercial listings or listings placed for profit are not permitted without prior authorization. Vendors interested in placing listings in our Classified forums should contact us first prior to placing ads. Only pre-approved supporting vendors are authorized to place listings, any other commercial ads placed without authorization will be edited, locked or removed at our sole discretion.


Please use caution and good judgement when buying or selling items. Before exchanging money or items, always do your due diligence, including establishing firm communications with the other party you are dealing with. C.W. Enterprises Corp., Checkmate-Boats.com, and its Administrators are not responsible in any way for buyer/seller relations and cannot guarantee the legitamacy of the ads placed in our Marketplace forums.

Therefore, we urge you to use caution and good judgement when buying or selling items on our forums.


Long Distance Dealing

For transactions being made without personal inspection and payment made first hand, consideration should be given to using a reputable escrow service. A reputable escrow service protects both the buyer and the seller. With a Escrow service, the proceeds from a transaction are held in trust until the item involved is delivered and inspected by the purchaser. Once inspected, the funds are released to the selling party. eBay recommends Esrow.com, which is one option you may want to investigate. Always make sure any Escrow service you're considering is reputable!

Listing Rules!

Please keep your listing restricted to one thread per boat or item. Do not start multiple threads! Starting multiple for sale threads for the same item will be considered spamming.

Please use the appropriate forum for your listing. Do not place your listing in multiple forums, or in non for sale forums. Please do not start "pimp" threads in non for sale forums linking to your for sale listing. Again, this will be considered spamming.

Please do not repeatedly bump your listing to the top of the for sale forums! Again, this will be considered spamming! If everyone is constantly bumping their listings it gets silly! So please wait a minimum of one week before bumping your thread.

Please note that we reserve the right to move, edit and remove any listing at our sole discretion for any reason.

Also note, generally we do not delete listings even after items are sold or delisted. Therefore please do not PM us asking us to delete or remove your listing.

If you sell your item, simply post that it is sold in your for sale thread.

Please use caution when posting personal contact information in for sale listings! You need to keep in mind that you are posting your information on a public forum. Please consider keeping personal contact information that you post in the buy and sell forums, or any forum for that matter to basic contact information only. As an alternative, use our Private Message system or an email address to exchange information with potential buyers. Whatever method you choose, PLEASE USE CAUTION and only share sensitive personal information with trusted potential buyers.

Image Hosting

If you would like to include images along with your free ad, there are two basic ways for you to do so.

If you are a supporting member, you can upload/attach images to your posting which will be uploaded to our servers. If you are not a supporting member, you can become one for a small fee. Information on our supporting member subscription program is located in this thread.

If your are not a supporting member, you can still post images with your listing by hosting them off-site and "hot-linking" to them. Two free image hosting sites that are available are Photobucket and Imageshack. You might also check and see if you have some personal webspace of your own where you can upload images of your item. Once your item is hosted on a website which allows hotlinking, you can then post your pictures by "hot-linking" to them.

Alternatively, you can also email prospective buyers the images of your item.

If you need additional help with posting pics, please post your questions in the board feedback forum, or better yet, search it as your questions may have already been asked and answered.

Please do not PM or email us asking us for picture posting help! Please use the help forum!

Please do not PM or email us asking us to post your pictures for you!

Detailed picture posting instructions for both methods are located in following thread.
