Hi all,
We’ve not embraced sale of items or the offering of services (stop it Mehmet!) in the past as we’ve always felt it would potentially open up a can of worms.
However, given the impact of Covid-19, and the difficulty many will have coming out of it, it feels like a time where if we can help out the members of our community, then we should embrace that.
So we’ve created a new group off the main forum called Charlton Life Marketplace. It will act in the same way that the House of Commoners Politics sub-forum works.
The link to join is here: https://forum.charltonlife.com/group/12-marketplace
The objective of this sub-forum is fourfold:
- A place for users to advertise their business or service to attract interest from other Lifers
- A place for people to request a recommendation on a roofer, IFO, gardener etc
- A place for people to sell anything that might be relevant to this audience
- A place for people to put ‘looking to buy...’ enquiries
The rules we will no doubt make up as we go along. A couple of things from the off we do ask for:
- Please only seek to advertise your own / partners business or service. It’s introduced as a bit of free advertising for Lifers, we don’t want this being a free for all for kids, cousins, mates etc
- Please don’t flood it with things to sell, any old toot etc. Think of the audience. We suspect that things like football memorabilia, IT equipment etc probably most appropriate
- Please don’t post telephone numbers
- Selling of illegal/counterfeit/hooky products is strictly forbidden, you’ll be banned from here and likely having your details provided to authorities
- CL as a platform accepts no responsibility in any form of dispute, though will likely take a low opinion of any form of disappointment which may then lead to your removal from the site
We hope this will be a positive addition to the site and ultimately a benefit to our users, so please help embrace it in the spirit intended.
Thanks all
