> New Verified Member status - required to post in Marketplace (Buy/Sell
Posted by Rob - 03-14-10 16:02 - 0 comments
New Verified Member User Group

We have created a new Verified Member group. To become a Verified Member, you need to make a $4.99 donation from our Donation system using a valid credit card or Paypal account.

Benefits of being a Verified Member?

  • Signals that you have validated your identity using a valid credit card
  • Allows you to post to the Marketplace (Buy/Sell/Trade) forum


Why is this being put in place?

As V70R.com grows and the markplace becomes one of the more popular areas to buy, sell, and trade merchandise, it has also attracted the attention of the occasional spammer, scammer or other less than desirable type. By providing a Verified Member status, we are offering an additional level of assurance for all parties involved.

Does Verified Member status guarantee a member is reliable?

No - there are no guarantees in life, of course. That said, it is a sign that a member has vetted their identity beyond simply providing a working email address.

Do other members have access to my personal information (real name, address, credit card info)

Absolutely not. The transactions are all done using the Paypal secure website, and V70R.com will never reveal your identity to another member - except under court order, of course!


What if I don't have a credit card or Paypal account?

Send me a private message and we will look into other methods of validating your identity - this may take a bit longer.

I'm already a donating benefactor, do I need to become a verified member?

Of course not - you've already validated your identity when you made your benefactor donation.

How do I become a Verified Member?

Visit our donations subscriptions page.

Cheers,

Rob

> Spring 2010 V70R.com Benefactor discount & funding drive
Posted by Rob - 03-8-10 13:09 - 2 comments
We're launching our Spring 2010 funding campaign & lifetime benefactor discount - the lifetime benefactor donation level is at $74.99 (instead of $99).

Donations are via the PayPal system, and you do not need a PayPal account to donate, as it can be done with any credit card without actually joining PayPal. You can read about benefactor perks here... we appreciate all donations and they go 100% to building and maintaining this site... thanks to your donations we will be installing a major upgrade to the site this coming weekend...

As always, your contributions are greatly appreciated.

Rob

P.S. lifetime benefactor status is automatically valid on our sister site S60R.com as well! Once you're a benefactor here on V70R.com, simply let me know your username on S60R and we'll have your account upgraded there as well.
