What is this Panjo crap

[Court M3]

Panjo gives the option to pay via Paypal and Paypal does not take any fees in addition to fees already deducted.

I'm an old surly bastard, and if James doesn't want to go to donations and contributions from members, I'm on board with using Panjo.

I tired to have an open mind, but I can't help but to agree with everyone else now. I've tried using it and it just sucks. I for one would be willing to pay an annual subscription to be able to post new threads in the parts and wheel classifieds.

James, you shouldn't have to respond to any negativity regarding the classifieds section here. This is the internet, not kindergarten.

The users of the classifieds section are the ones who should alert the community about buyer/seller issues ,etc.

Buying something online from someone you don't know is a risk, but usually a worthwhile one IF you do a little research first.

One of the primary draws of r3v (for me at least) is the lack of nannying and policing here and i am glad to donate $$$ as i have in the past to keep that spirit alive.

I am admittedly crotchety, but i have zero interest in jumping through another set of hoops to buy or sell here.

If panjo must stay, i propose two classified sections, a panjo one and a "wild west" version where buyers and sellers deal with each other and forfeit the option of bitching to James about it. How much in donations would this take and where should i send my share?

It's not about the policing. It's about the paycheck that the classic classifieds don't bring it.

I have just been using old classified posts I made pre-Panjo and editing the title/first post to reflect what I am selling right now.

Then bump it..

I have noticed that there seems to be an uptick in duplicate/triplicate posts for the same item now happening more often due to the Panjo use. If you use Tapatalk to view the classifieds, it's a mess.

This.

Yea I wont be using the classifieds here anymore either. Sounds like a majority of users here, id say in the 90 percentile don't want it.

I get the wanting to reach more people for some, but when i sell parts, I list them at the "r3v discount price", and a 100$ item here, is 150$ for someone else

[Adrenaline Junkie]

There should be a option, if people want to sell through Panjo or without Panjo.

Also I have a problem, I can't connect my R3v Username and Panjo account. Damn

[audiquattrot]

I just tried listing on Panjo too and I can even post it on r3vlimited via the Panjo site. The username and password don't seem to work. Aggravating

So if anyone is interested in these stickers let me know. I don't know where else to park it on r3v

Ive advertised stuff that isnt E30 specific on Panjo and have yet to sell any of it. However, I still get these "market updates" on stuff that I have zero interest in.

What happens to my current ads that are in the classifieds?

[pandaboo911]

Panjo is a good thing. Your stuff reaches more people and sells faster. What's wrong with that? Cmon people

[rturbo 930]

I don't believe that will be using Panjo, but the idea of a paid membership is really disappointing to me as I am not in any position to pay and am lucky to even be able to afford owning a car at all right now. I feel like this whole thing really has the ability to push a lot of lower-income members away.

I think it's more of a non-obligatory donation, not a requirement.

[Staszek]

I've seen the panjo thing go poorly on other forums, don't have a ton of experience with it though. On another forum I used to be fairly active on there was a yearly fund drive and people who donated more than a certain amount could access the custom title (changing the text under your username). I would kick in whatever I could afford, being a super-poor student at the time. Unfortunately I'm still a super-poor student but I'd kick in some bucks for sure.

I did the same on another forum. It also gave access to a private group. It didn't cost much and it helped the site without everyone having to pay.
