Why can't people with "Newbie" ranks post at the Buy / Sell boards and what should they do to be able to post there?
Due to the number of bogus / shady / illegal posts, the administration has decided to let people "earn" their posting rights at the said boards. This way (we hope), people will value their posting access at the said boards and think twice about posting crap. To be able to post at the Buy / Sell boards, one has to work his way up to "Junior Member" or avail of the paid options.
You may send your payments to: AtoX Business Solutions, Unit 03 4th Floor, JY Square Mall (same building with Watson's). Look for Adielle.
If you are paying thru Paypal, account activation is automated and almost instant. Any chargebacks or reversal of payment will result in an instant ban of your account.
