Marketplace Etiquette

Timothy Spencer · July 22

I am curious what the expected etiquette is on this forum. Cinematography.com is a community of people with a shared interest in all things related to cinematography. What should the response be when you post something on the marketplace and agree on a price and then get ghosted when it comes time to invoice ?

Thanks, Tim

As long as you did not ship the item and retain possession, just shine it on. Chalk it up it to a general flakiness in the culture. If Marketplace bothers you, never post an item on craigslist.

Thanks for the reply but wasn't talking about Craigslist but rather this marketplace. no problem with the platform just the flakiness.

I got that Timothy. The point was... if you think it's bad here, try craigslist, or in your case Kijiji sometime. 😄
