    Message to the Admins of this fabulous forum:

    Can you change the forum rules?

    When I first came to the forum, group buys rarely took more than a week to close.

    Now it's simply become a CATASTROPHE !!!

    Dozens (if not hundreds) of members register lightly on the main group buy list and
    NEVER come back to pay their dues.

    This has become intolerable and is affecting serious members who pay very quickly.
    This means that group buys drag on for weeks, if not months.

    The ONLY solution to this is to make members of the main list pay THE DAY they sign up.
    That way, as soon as the number of participants is reached, the purchase can take place
    immediately.

    And this will also have the effect of weeding out all the PARASITES who sign up for 10 or
    20 group purchases and end up paying for just one.

    And, if a purchase cannot be made for one reason or another, then the amount paid will
    be set aside for each member as a credit release for another product.

    Personally, I buy a lot less than I did at the beginning because I know I'll pay today and
    get my product in a month or more. And I don't think I'm the only one in this situation.

    So I'm asking you:
    What do you think, Admin, GOODMEN, Gurminj ?

    See you soon...

    Perhaps the admins could set up a poll to find out whether the
    rules should be changed as I'd like or not ?

    And I'll go along with the majority if I have to. :p

    33 views and not a single opinion on the matter. :confused:
    Well, that's a bad start.

    However, the opinion of a hundred people would be enough to
    give a general trend that could help the Admins improve their forum.

    So give your opinion in a few words ! ;)

    I agree the amount of GB's i enter and i have been the last member needed then its taken weeks for the originals to come back to pay even though ive paid same day..
    also i believe the original buyers should have exclusive rights before others can buy, meaning we get 2 weeks as the only people to use the product before others can buy.

    also would be cool if then there is a group made where once the admins make some money from the GB the other sales get put in a pot for the original purchases to split that way its like a thank you for getting things done

    Hi,

    I hadn't thought of that, but it's a great suggestion that participants on the main
    list should have an extra benefit to reward them for being the first to pay.

    Or even a pot where funds are stored for popular GB's that have struggled to get the final one or two buyers so not waiting around for weeks/months for somebody to make the move
    especially when its the more expensive GB's

    Hello,

    Yes, of course.
    Let's wait for at least 100 members to give their opinion here.

    Thank you for being open to discussion. :)

    As usual, I agree with Yarvua. I think requiring people to pay immediately upon signing up for the main list would solve a lot of problems here. Or if there is a way to give an auto payment method, like a credit card, so that when the recruitment is complete, you can charge everyone's CC immediately. It would require getting a CC merchant account but they are pretty easy to get.

    Considering the issue of certain bad habits in group buys, it may be necessary for the forum to amend its rules. One suggestion is to remove the reserve list. This is because there have been instances where the same names appear on the reserve list, but those individuals never actually make the payment. By removing the reserve list, it can help ensure that only those who are genuinely committed to making the purchase are included, reducing the likelihood of false reservations and creating a more efficient and fair process for all participants.

    Due to the time difference living in country or region , it may not be the right time for them to make a purchase or participate in a group buy.It result in missing out on the opportunity all together. You can suggest adding extra a maximum of 5 people to the main list who need to purchase the product before it becomes too late. This way, everyone can be aware of the urgency and act accordingly to secure the product in a timely manner.

    Hi all,

    Thank you all for giving your opinions here to help the Admins put
    an end to this recurring problem of people who sign up on a GB
    and never pay.

    Yes I'm all for paying as soon as you sign up for the main list.

    As a new member of this great comunity I am UP for new rules ASAP!

    Personally, I am now going through a situation where no one will pay and many are still asking questions like on the first day, even though they showed up for the joint order. And my funds are sitting idly for who knows how long.
