Just a thought, but would it not be worth restricting new members from advertising items for sale until either they have been approved and confirmed details by mods or until they have reached a preset level of posts or times.
Only reason i suggest this is that it has been common place for people to use forums to create scams, join, advertise stuff, normally pretty cheap, then get money either sent as paypal gift or by BACS, only to never been seen again.
It has happened to a number of people i know, and have seen it so often on other forums, just thought i'd mention it BEFORE someone does it on here, as the damage can sometime be very severe.
I know one forum restricted selling to full members only, sounds harsh, but if your genuine then you get a free years advertising, plus the premier membership??
