    Why not run some smaller ads on the side in place of "membership fees" and kick Panjo to the curb? I'm not a fan of handing out my email to another company, and taking the time to sign-up and learn a new system.

      As we seem to need to do every few pages, it's again time to remind everyone that this has very little (if anything) to do with the way the classifieds marketplace was being run, or the lack of people donating enough money to keep the site running. The motivation to employ a third party in the for sale section was predominantly due to the fact that James doesn't want to play middle man or mediator to every for sale transaction which doesn't go smoothly.

      Although I am curious... did everyone who verbally committed to making a donation to the site do so on the contingency that it would be in exchange for getting rid of Panjo?

        And if/when that happens it will kill the forum, which is the root issue that people are worried about as buying/selling parts is vital to keeping the community alive.

        As to me, I'd have rather seen a few rule revisions in the posting requirements rather than just bailing on a system that worked fairly well. Frankly, it wasn't James' problem in the first place to deal with people who were having issues and it should be understood that you are actually on your own by anyone who posts/deals in the classifieds.

          It would be nice to remove Panjo, but my expressed donation isn't tied to whether or not Panjo leaves R3v.

          I'd be happy to donate simply because it is the right/nice thing to do.

            I havent ever been charged for using panjo... in fact i dont see the issue with panjo. just use it to create the first post and negotiate the deals in PMs as usual. let the panjo post expire... whats the issue?

              I would donate either way if the site needs the money.

                  Just set the Panjo price to $1,000,000 so nobody uses it, and continue like we always do.

                  But yeah, it's crap.

                    I see a few users have found a way around Panjo to post in the "Cars for sale" section. I have posted on Panjo, but the exposure there is awful compared to what we used to have here....
                    When I listed my car for sale on r3v, I couldn't find any way other than to list it through Panjo. When I posted it, the ad it created on r3v turned most of my text into some weird garbled code, did not include any of my pictures, and didn't link back to Panjo. It turned out that because Panjo screwed up my ad so spectacularly and completely, I was able to edit it after the fact to resemble a pre-Panjo classified post (minus the smilies which still didn't work, dammit... how else are people supposed to interpret the tone of the ad? ;D).

                            Trying to sell my car but I don't want to deal with panjo so I only have it listed on CL and Facebook right now.

                            Here is a link if anyone is interested: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/cto/5825019092.html

                            I would also donate to see panjo gone.

                                Another bad experience with Panjo. I sold some parts through them for $400 and only got $372 after their fees. What exactly do they charge that much for? They did mention discount shipping labels which I've yet to see, but apparently their shipping system has been down since Thursday and I can't even use it. I'd like to ship the stuff to the buyer asap, so would probably have to go through USPS. This Panjo is bs
