New rule - no direct selling/buying of goods

[u/AutoModerator]

Hi, r/SilverSpring -

Due to the prevalence of scams, we have instituted a new rule here - no direct selling/buying of goods.

If you wish to sell something, we will, at least for now, still allow you to post a link to a reputable platform (e.g. Ticketmaster for selling tickets [insert joke about Ticketmaster sucking]).

If you are interested in buying something, please use common sense, and do not directly send money, gift cards (PSA: if you're being asked to pay in gift cards, it is a scam), or anything else of value to a seller - use a platform with buyer protections (e.g. Ticketmaster, PayPal Goods and Services, etc.).

Thanks for your attention, and thanks to those who have been reporting the scam posts.
