What is this Panjo crap

[Mushi]

Now when I create the thread for sale it will be routed to the panjo shit and post on their website and not posting on the r3vlimited sale section. this is Fup.

This is honestly the most frustrating thing to use.

That might work on some things, but I feel like you would be beat out by people still conducting sales outside of Panjo.

Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

I think I am just going to start inflating the price so that I get what I actually want after the panjo fees.

We shall call it the Panjo tax

but who's going to pay more just to buy it there? For example, I have a brand new clutch kit retails for like 850ish I wan tot sell it for 800 with some extra stuff which I think makes it a good deal but if I sell it inflated for panjo its now more expensive than when new

EDIT: yea the 10% loss on items sold through panjo is brutal, especially on expensive stuff

Haven't found a "panjo FAQ" yet (if there is one please redirect me), nor have i found an answer while searching...

Seems to me one of the biggest advantages would be to be able to cross post FS ads on multiple forums instead of having to make a half dozen separate ads. How can I do that?

If you go back through the thread I was very welcoming to Panjo at first, but it just shifted the headaches from one person to the others. Its very buggy and like George said we constantly get emails that we've tried to unsubscribe from. It seems the the community is still very against Panjo. This thread is 4 months old, I'm just wondering when has Panjo had its "chance" so the community start brainstorming an fix that works for both James and us.

Agreed. Though I bet it will need a little more than 4 months.

Actually, it has everything to do with moderation of the for sale forums and being able to pay someone to do that, as well as helping to pay to run the site.

Maybe you should re-read post #28.

If someone wants to moderate the sale forums free of charge and people would be willing to donate to help this place stay in the black why shouldn't we give that a chance as well?

Yes, the decision to go with Panjo has a lot to do with it. Having a for sale forum moderator and continuing with a separate (user-managed) payment system doesn't resolve the issue of a buyer emailing James every day complaining about a deal gone bad.

For clarity, here's post #28 quoted in its entirety, highlights mine:

This, what Nando said above.

Here's the deal, Every.. Single.. Day, I get people complaining about users in for sale threads, prices too high, ripoffs, scammers, etc.. every... single...day.

So I respond to some of them, however i have a day job and a life, so I get behind, now I have people complaining about how, "James never responds, James does not care, etc...etc"

Panjo and I started talking and yes its also a business decision, I cannot handle playing Judge Judy for the classifieds section, I cannot ask someone for FREE to handle that either, Panjo works as a third party, hence why they need to be paid as well.

Yes, change sucks, No you don't need to use Panjo for payment if you don't want to, yes this is for the best.

Every single thing needs to at least pay for itself.. I ran this thing for over 6 years without making a dime on it, and at the point now I need R3V to be in the black on my books, its a business as well as something i'm very passionate about.

This year we lost money, the E30Picnic R3V party was down in attendance, so we lost about $600 bucks, that I paid for out of pocket, so all of those who attended could have a good time.

Please don't turn this into a, "James just wants to make money thing", and please don't turn this into a "this is the death of R3V thing"

The world is not free, every month I get hosting bills, we have server upgrades and replacement, licensing fee's, etc.. it all adds up..

Those running with pitchforks need to realize things from my perspective as well

If folks want to donate to the site to help put it in the black I certainly encourage them to do so. However, I doubt it's an either/or thing; donations will not mean the removal of Panjo. Again, reference the emphasized quotes above.

What is this Panjo crap

It has practically nothing to do with for sale forum moderation, and very little to do with funding the site.

Again, as we need to do every few pages, I'll remind everyone to reread James' comments and reasoning for giving Panjo a chance to earn our business.

The only thing I'll add is that the email spam from Panjo on a daily basis is ridiculous.

I got an email ad for custom doggie tombstones available on panjo. Really? I mean really?

I'll second this.
I've "unsubscribed" from their emails repeatedly, and still receive them at least every week.
