I don`t like the fact that many guys here try to trade by posting "pm me ft" in topics. No one else then can see the proposed prices.
Which is unnecessary for a balanced trading and it does make it harder especially for new traders to find out about prices. Also ppl
often retract from trades, because the get better offers by pm. The offered Items or fg should be binding for the poster - a retract should
result in a warning or a fg fine. This way ppl would have to stand and keep word for their written offers.
This would really make the d2jsp market more transparent.
Another way would be an own tradesection where members can offer or seek stuff which can be traded only by pms.

Im also interested what other members think about this proposal

jsp rule: No trades via PM. (It's harder to prove a scam via PM than from a trade thread, so always negotiate and deal through a trade thread, not PM).

so it's already now allowed.

what about "pm me ft", what's wrong with that? you can ask him also to pm you ft..

"pm me ft" puts pressure on the offer; ppl who dont know exactly about the price they wont get an idea of how much they can expect ...
saw many trades where guys wanted the offered stuff but didnt post offers just wanted the ft. That way most trades look the same:

start
bump
bump
bump
pm me ft on this
bump
lmk ft when u got one
bump
nvm
bump
even when the topicstarter clearly wrote "no pm trade just offers here"

In my opinion, users really don't care what will You write in Your own rules while making new topic. Trade assistants should do a bit more than only closing topics. I'm sure that after few warns everything would even just a bit better.

It's a personal choice:

If you don't have a FT set, ignore the post and report it as spam if you want
If you don't want to PM them FT, you don't have to
If you'd rather post the FT in the topic, sure, do that

I think what you're asking is to remove the negotiative element to trading and make it binding and fixed... which I think makes things boring and uninteresting. I actually find the ability to haggle fun, and allows me to gain more profit from trades and such. It also seems like you're pressuring people to make FTs, which is unfair because some people don't know prices or it might be some insane rare that they want to see offers on first
