kinda sucks as the reason I joined in the first place was to buy parts to help me pass MOT. 8 months ago I would've been **** out of luck (other than searching through the endless for sale section), or at least it would've taken more time. I guess if there are enough scammers to warrant this, then the MODs are making the right decision. We don't get to see how many PM's they receive daily about crappy sellers.
I suggest that if people WTB stuff, and don't have 100 posts, look in the Vendor Market Place. They are legit businesses and depend on proper service. Ended up buying my items for MOT from Vendors who replied to my WTB post anyways =)
