    I've been buying, selling, and developing websites since I could understand code, at least 6-7 years. Throughout that time I've never been scammed when selling a developed website. Although in the past 2 weeks, I have sold 2 things, a template, and an entire company, and both times sold off of DP, both times, I was scammed, that person now has the template and his money, luckily I wasn't stupid enough to hand over the company to this guy before I checked him out on paypal, before I could check him he filed a chargeback, this is a joke, is DP a joke? Sitepoint, Clantemplates, Talkfreelance, I've sold on these sites and many more and never been scammed but digital point is like the home of scammers, am I wrong? Maybe DP needs better mods, I don't know but this is a joke, will not be visiting and selling on this website anymore. Not that anyone will care since I am 1 in thousands, but just thought I'd post.

    I agree. It could be that the owner of the site never even comes here...

    It's your responsibility to watch over your business deals. If you don't trust someone - don't buy/sell to them.

    This is a private transactions and I guess it is more of a personal responsibility to ensure that the dealing between you and your trading partner goes through well. I don't think that the forum is responsible for your transactions nor did it benefited in the form of any agent fees etc.

    You are right in one thing though, no one will care.

    I can feel your pain, I have stopped selling here because of scammers... some times buyer opened a dispute with in 1 hour of delivery claiming "Product not delivered" From 10 of my sells i lost around 6... thats Crap.. there should be some rules and a system about Buying/Selling, not about Posting on Forums. Mods should concentrate on improving Buy/Sell Section rather than banning peoples for stupid Thread Bump & similar activity... Just my 0.2 Cents..

    And Just a Suggestion/Idea

    There should be separate Moderators for Each Section,by doing this there would be be less work for each Moderator, and will improve Forums.

    The moderators do a great job.

    I agree that there should be more, though.
