Hello guys, I have read the sales rules, but some stuff are still confusing to me. Is it only required to be a paid member + some account activity requirements to be able to post in the sales section? Can you be able to post sales without being a Patreon supporter and only with activity and verification during the post ? And what exact activities do I need to have to be able to post there with verification ?
Thank you in advance

Supporter status AND certified bypasses all other requirements.

If you do not become a supporter. You need to be certified and meet the posting requirements.

The first part of the sales rules state what you need to have to post a sale with certification.

1) Eligibility to sell: Rules for eligibility include the following:

A) You must be CERTIFIED https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...ified-supporter-patron-sign-up-info.10945607/ (This does not mean crazy but it helps too)
B) A member of RWI in good standing
C) Minimum of 25 (non-post whoring/subsequent) posts and 30 days of membership for non-subscribers ( for further clarification see also https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/post-whoring.10347644/ ).
D) Breathing and have a pulse
E) Must be willing to help your buyer to resolve any "after" sales issues. (Immediately after the sale, within a reasonable amount of time.)
F) You must be the owner of the watch and in possession of the watch at the time of sale. No selling "for a friend", you will be held responsible for any sale in your name.

These requirements are for those who do not become supporters.

If you become a supporter, your only requirement will be to go through the certification process.

You cannot sell AT ALL if you are not certified.

Okay, so I understood that there are 2 types. Certified and Support + Certified. In the watch parts section it says that there are unlimited sales. Is it applying only to the Supporter status ?
"
2) Registered non-Supporting members may list only one watch per sale/trade and only have three watch sales in a 30-day period and may not depict more than one watch in a sales/trade thread. Additionally, Non supporters may only list one watch at a time and must wait until the last sale is complete before listing the next sale
(only one working sale at a time )
Only one sales thread is to be created per item.

Supporting members are entitled to unlimited sales per 30-day period and the ability to list multiple watches per sale. Members are encouraged to limit multiple watches to five or fewer in one thread and to post new sales only after the current five items are completed. Watch parts (cases, crystals, etc) have no sales limit.

Yes, but you will have to be able to sell only 3 watches (in separate listings each) per 30 calendar days. If you become a supporter, you have unlimited sales.

No. Again, certified is the minimum to sell. Parts section is difference since people sell a lot of parts at once, it is unfair to limit them there and having to make one sale for one part etc.

Okay, thank you so much for the info. I am currently a student right now, so I am trying to save as much as possible, but I also want to support the mods work, so I ve decided to go with the Supporter status. I do only have 1 watch that I am intended to sell and many parts for franken builds.
I also have a question about item sell verification. So once I get certified status after supporter, do I post only post the item and the timestamp to prove that this item belongs to me? Or I need to provide some other proofs or verification additionally on top of that separately ?

You need to post a timestamp as the rules state with the requirements of the timestamp (tagged picture) outlined in our rules.

Other proof or verifications will be asked by the mods if its necessary.

Take some time to browse some approved sales listings and take examples from them. You'll see it is relatively easy as the rules outline.
