On the main reasons the restriction was lifted (as thew title says) was because you practically told people to post pad. That made the restriction untenable.
Moving on...

If someone post pads we can always move threads to JS 😂

Here’s my 2 cents.

Have two threads. Buying/selling for elite members. Buying/selling for those wanting to get screwed.
Still promotes Pad-posting. Unless its kept sooper seekrit

Is there secret info here?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

No, but this will encourage scammers to post pad in order to look legit. (Although I'd say not just to look at post count before deciding to trust someone)

Either you loose your money or spend a few seconds and look what type of post's the member your trying to buy from has on ddf, and from there you can see if hes post padding or actually supplying quality stuff to the ddf community.

Is there secret info here?
Nope, good info for all the crooks to see and will think twice before scamming someone being that ddf was warned multiple times about fraudulent sellers.

Still promotes Pad-posting. Unless its kept sooper seekrit
Take a peek at the members post and see whats what..

Escrow policy: Seller only gets money released after buyer confirms it not to be fraudulent
What’s stopping said buyer from claiming funds were drained from card? Some gift cards can be verified as to when transactions were done. Some can’t. Prime example (no pun intended) would be Amazon. Buyer says funds already drained to an amazon account, no way to verify when, or to which account funds were drained to.

I agree that you should only do business with people based on their post history. Anyone who buys a gift card from me knows there'll be nothing on it but bad puns and sarcasm.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

I was going to say to add a new board where only members with 500/1000 or something posts can access the board while we will have only members which have some sort of creditably. But then again, each person buying and selling can decline or not respond to a seller with less than that.
 So the only simple solution is buy and sell at your own risk, there's noone to come crying to if a deal goes bad, Dan is offering a free service allowing members to enjoy and make a few $ but to do a stupid deal and then come crying, sorry doesn't work like that around here.(Sell on ebay or another platform if you can't seem to sell and buy at your own risk and pay the 10% and 2.9% fees).
When buying/selling gc's, 2.9% is a huge fee. In many cases, it will make the deal not worth it.

What's wrong with the good old fashioned method of asking for references? Why is it almost not mentioned at all in this thread as a great solution to this problem?
