We are aggravated enough having to enforce the no bumps rule, so clearly this is not going to happen. Besides, we are providing a space in which people can sell to one another and we do not get involved in private transactions between members. If you don't like a seller's policies, you should boycott their sales (lol).

You're making me feel old and that my pores are not clean. I personally use masking tape twice daily - apply to the T-zone and pull hard and fast. You wouldn't believe the toxins that stay on this thing

All markets, including B&S have rules. I'm just proposing that we do away with treating non-US people as second class citizens. I don't expect Americans to get it, because you are never in this position. My observation is that some American members have no problem expecting us to do all this on their behalf, but won't return the compliment.

If America was a free country, buyers would be forced to do this. /Hey Man

WTF would you know? I've never bought anything from you.

Where I come from, making constructive suggestions is not whinging.

Well I have learned my lesson. Don't make suggestions, don't go against the cliques and remember that non-US = second class. Oh, and people who think outside the mainstream are dumb-asses. Got it.

At least LA Guy took the time to give me a very good reason why this can't work. Thanks for that.

Dude, I'm happy to sell to overseas customers, but your suggestion is so outside of the mainstream that it was bound to be laughed at. LA Guy gave you one reason, but I can assure you that nobody running this place would begin to consider such a rule, even if enforcement was a breeze. It's honestly such an odd request that one wonders if you're actually an adult. Not fair? I mean, really? Ebay doesn't make sellers ship good overseas. Is there a single online venue in the Western world that has such a rule? Come on.

Nope. The Youtube thing is possible because it's a script written into Styleforum's vBulletin code, but embedding other videos would require allowing HTML in posting.

It was in this thread. I assume it got deleted b/c of the ...*ahem* subject matter.

I figured as much. Thanks for confirming it for me.
