    Hi,

    I am looking for forums like the subforum "Buy, Sell or Trade" where people offer services and jobs. Do you know any other forum like this one? I am not interested in freelance sites like elance guru or whatsoever. Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    I prefer GAF (my affiliate link is in there and hope you don't mind). I have been ripped off here and PayPal's recourse isn't very helpful (they can't recover your money if the person's account is empty).

    GAF is great because you don't have to pay until the work is done and there are tons of experts there in each field.

    Hope this helps!

    Jeff

    Thanks to all for contributing.

    However, let me mention again, I am not looking for sites like elance. What I look for is forums like "Buy, Sell or Trade" subforum of DigitalPoint.

    you can try namepros.com. I sold a couple of my articles there a while back. Look in the contents for sale subsection of web develpment. Hope this helps.

    If you are looking to buy articles, I still have a few there.

    I forgot to mention the WSO of warriorforum.com. That is the best content market place I've seen yet. No offence to digital point.

    Hi Jelba,

    I ordered a package from this thread and the guy never did the work. He took my money then emptied his PayPal account. When I filed a dispute with PayPal, they said that I won the dispute but that they can't recover the money from his account.

    With GAF, they put the money into escrow and the money isn't paid out until the work is done.

    Ciao,

    Jeff

    Try searching for webmaster forums on google. There are about half a dozen that I visit pretty frequently that are similar to DP.

    amelen1,

    I googled webmaster forums. Many sites came up, but none that interesting. Could you name the ones you visit?

    Thanks Jeff I really appreciate your honest response. That's what this forum is all about - to share honest experiences and learn from mistakes. Have you had any support from DP as the guy is the member here?
