DESIGNER LAWNS: IMPORTANT

Buyers and sellers, please post all your inquiries regarding designer lawns in this thread:

http://www.paklinks.com/gs/classifie...ml#post7271272

Sellers: please open 1 new thread in Classifieds only if you are displaying your work (including lawns, semiformals, formals, bridals etc).

Customers: please only open a new thread in Bazaar if you are reviewing a new designer.

Any new threads opened just to inquire about lawns will be merged into that main thread.

Thanks for your cooperation and happy shopping!

Re: Please read this before posting or opening a new thread in this forum.

Many designers/sellers have utilized Gupshup as a vehicle to advertise their services and products; within the last few months, the numbers of sellers has increased, as all you regular readers/posters will notice. It's wonderful that more Pakistani women are making a name for themselves in this incredibly competitive business and earning the trust of customers via Gupshup. However, we feel these small business owners deserve every shot at proving how well they can do.

I realize taht it's hard to gain teh trust of someone who has joined GS just to advertise, but please be advised, that does not automatically mean they are frauds. In fact, of all the sellers who come here to advertise, very few of them have emerged as being frauds. So to lump someone trying to do business in teh same category as them is a serious accusation. Any claims should be backed up by proper proof. Customers have every right to complain about less than stellar service but sellers also have the right to defend their business and/or settle any of their issues with their clients.

If you have ANY issues with clients/sellers, please try to dispute those issues as quickly as possible.
If you make an allegation, please be prepared to provide proof when prompted, whether privately or publicly.
And above all, remember to behave in a civil and mature manner.

Finally--and I cannot stress this enough--GS does NOT screen sellers. None of them are backed up by or affiliated with GS, and anyone who buys from a seller is doing so at their own risk.

REMINDER FOR VENDORS!!!

DO NOT POST ADVERTISEMENTS IN MULTIPLE THREADS. THEY WILL BE DELETED AND YOU WILL BE BANNED. ADVERTISEMENTS ARE TO BE POSTED IN THE CLASSIFIEDS FORUM.

New Policy for designers posting in Bazaar forum

1. If you cannot produce images of your own work your threads will be shut down, until you can provide proof of your own work, and NOT pictures taken from the internet or other home-based designers' websites.

2. Just another reminder, no posting your own link in another designers thread, or constantly spamming other threads....you will be banned without warning!

Re: POLICIES FOR BAZAAR FORUM

Another update:

Anyone selling an item must have a price listed with it, instead of asking the potential seller to contact you for the price.

Moderator's Warning:

VENDORS, this is just a light reminder to please post your recommendations using your original GS accounts. Anyone using multi-nicks to write false reviews/encouraging remarks/recommendations for your ownself to promote your business will create a wrong impression and mislead other readers who rely on reviews and recommendations for online shopping. We will be deleting all such posts that have been made already very soon and request you to avoid doing this in future in order to save yourself from infractions/ban. This does not apply to anyone in particular but is just a reminder.
