Title: New vendor - How do I post in "Product Offers"?
Post by: gold on March 31, 2013, 06:52 pm
I have successfully upgraded my SR account to a vendor (posted bond, etc). My question is that to post to "Product Offers" it says I need to be a vendor. How do I allow my forum account to show I'm a vendor/get privileges?

Here is a link to my seller account

You must have 50 posts to post in the standard forums regardless of whether or not you have a sellers account.

From what I have read, you need 50 posts, or a certain number of sales to be able to post in the other forums. (30 sales I think)

What would you like to offer?

You have to wait until you've received a refund of your vendor bond before you can gain access to the Vendor forum ... in the meantime, feel free to start a thread about your product here in this section.

Ok, thanks for the reply. You have any advice on getting sales? I'm seeing a lot of posts that buyers do not trust new vendors, even thought they post the bond.

Every vendor here was once a "new vendor" -- all you can do is build up trust by not scamming people.

Yeah, I guess I just need to be patient, too, since I just posted my listings. I figure the first sale will be the hardest.
