All of the information on sellers, for instance; past transactions and feedback can be found on the forum itself. I'm afraid we don't have a no risk solution here, that's business. All of the advertisers on this forum have been reviewed personally, by me. The forum holds identifiable details on these advertisers while they are conducting business here.
This works in a number of ways, here are just two of them;
* It gives you the piece of mind that somebody reputable has looked at them and cleared them to sell here.
* Should something go wrong, we have the information on the advertiser that may lead to you needing it and also the strength in knowledge to assist you with any issues you may face.

must stress that we make absolutely no guarantees that you will have a trouble free transaction on these forums, it has always been that way and I would be a liar to say that I or any other service provider could offer you a completely secure trading environment. The fact is, there is never a 100% secure transaction in business, what we try to do here is reduce that risk to a respectable level so that to begin with you already have access to suppliers that to the degree I have outlined, have been researched. We run a fairly tight ship here, most of the regulars know each other well and many of the current advertisers can be personally vouched for by other members. That's the strength of our community.
You often see threads pop up on the forum "Has anybody used so and so?", other members then reply and there starts your research. Use the search feature, use a secure payment method if you can and only proceed with the risk if you are fully aware of the consequences.
